What is an Early Pregnancy (Viability) Scan?
It’s an important ultrasound done early on in pregnancy. The scan confirms the pregnancy and checks a few key things:
When do they do it?
Usually between 7-10 weeks. Doctors like to do an early scan if they’re not 100% sure of your last period date or if you’ve had any concerning symptoms. It gives them a clearer picture of what’s going on in the very early stages.
Why do an ultrasound scan?
There are a few key reasons an ultrasound scan is done during pregnancy:
How is it done?
The sonologist will apply some gel on your belly and use a device called a transducer to glide over your skin. This captures images that are viewed on a screen. In some cases, they may need to do a internal/transvaginal scan for better views.
Pre-procedure:
For a belly scan, drink lots of water before so your bladder is full – this helps get clearer pictures. No prep is needed for an internal scan. Wear comfortable clothes that allow easy access.
During the Procedure:
The sonologist will take measurements and photos for about 5-10 minutes. They are assessing how developed the baby is and checking for any issues.
After the Procedure:
The doctor will go over the results with you and explain what it all means. They’ll also schedule your next appointment to keep an eye on baby’s progress.
Report Availability:
Printed copies of your reports will be ready within 10-15 minutes after the completion of the scan procedure.

An Early Pregnancy or Viability Scan is an ultrasound done in the first trimester, typically between 6–10 weeks, to confirm the pregnancy, check the fetal heartbeat, and assess early development.
The best time is 7–10 weeks of pregnancy, when the heartbeat and baby’s growth can be clearly seen. Before 6 weeks, it may be too early to detect a heartbeat.
A viability scan helps confirm that the pregnancy is normal and progressing well. It assesses fetal heartbeat, the number of babies, pregnancy location (to rule out ectopic), and gestational age.
Yes, many pregnancies show a heartbeat around 6–7 weeks, but it may also be detected slightly later depending on ovulation, implantation timing, or cycle length.
No, the scan is not painful. It may be done abdominally or transvaginally to obtain clearer images, but both methods are safe and gentle.
Yes, for an abdominal scan you need a full bladder to improve visibility. For a transvaginal scan, a full bladder is not required.
If no heartbeat is seen, the doctor may recommend repeating the scan after 7–10 days, as it might simply be too early. In rare cases, it may indicate pregnancy complications, which the doctor will explain.
Yes, at add-on Scans & Labs, printed reports are usually ready within 10–15 minutes after completion of the scan.
Yes, a viability scan can detect multiple pregnancies and confirm whether twins share the same sac or placenta.
