Why Should You Get A Viability Scan Done?

Our Early Pregnancy Scan (also known as a Viability or Dating scan) gathers valuable information and provides pregnancy reassurance to expectant parents during those early weeks. The ultrasound probe will be placed on your abdomen, allowing you to see your baby's heartbeat and say "hello" ! "for the first time.
Whether you need to confirm a pregnancy, determine the gestation age, or determine an Estimated Due Date (EDD), the Cityultrasound team can help you put your mind at ease about your baby's health.
We use a cutting -edge ultrasound scanner with high-resolution probes that are one-of-a-kind.
The following are some of the advantages:
The scan does not require you to have a full bladder; in most cases, the technology we use allows us to perform the viability scan London transabdominally (the transducer is placed over your belly),
We don't just date the pregnancy; we also look at how it's progressing.
If we discover you are past your 10-week pregnancy mark, we can perform NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing: Harmony Test) during the same appointment (please note that we do NIPT only in conjunction with the Early) Baby Scan, which we perform from 10 weeks)
Is it necessary for me to have a viability scan?
The Nuchal Translucency (NT) / Dating scan, which is performed at 11-13 weeks, is the first scan offered by NHS hospitals. It is used to determine the pregnancy's date; however, it gives a less precise EDD (estimated date of delivery) ).
• Allow you to participate in an NIPT as soon as possible (if we recognize that the baby is at least 10 weeks),
• Allows you to create a detailed schedule for your follow-up scans, so you can fit in other activities (like business trips or vacations) around it.
• The early viability scan London will tell you how many babies you'll have, as well as how long you'll be pregnant.
• To be able to predict the exact date of the pregnancy. and the expected delivery date,
Is it possible to diagnose any anomalies using the viability scan?
It all depends on how far along you are at the time of the scan (weeks of pregnancy). Unfortunately, the baby has not completed its primary development and is still considered an embryo before 10 weeks. As a result, any anomalies cannot be ruled out.

The baby is considered a foetus after 10 weeks, which means it is fully formed and resembles a tiny human. This means that our ultrasound scanners, which are designed to produce high-resolution images, can be used to examine fully developed foetal structures like the heart.
The Early Fetal Scan can be done as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy, but we'll need a specially designed high-resolution transvaginal probe to get these images. Please keep in mind that the Early Baby Scan is a much more thorough examination of the foetus and costs more than the Viability Scan.
