It’s one of the first questions most women ask after seeing those two pink lines:
“When should I have my first ultrasound?”
⠀
While signs of an early pregnancy can sometimes be seen from around 4½–5 weeks, the clearest and most reassuring time for an early pregnancy scan is usually 6–7 weeks.
⠀
By then, we can often see a heartbeat and confirm that the pregnancy is developing within the uterus.
⠀
If you’ve had IVF, uncertain dates, pain or bleeding, or a history of ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, we may bring your scan forward or repeat your ultrasounds more frequently. Otherwise, waiting that little bit longer gives the best clarity.
