1ST TRIMESTER ULTRASOUND
The First Step toward a Healthy Pregnancy
At Pinnacle Embu, we understand that early pregnancy can bring both excitement and uncertainty. Our 1st trimester ultrasound scan provides accurate information and reassurance during this important stage of your journey.
Performed between 6 and 13 weeks of pregnancy, this scan confirms that your pregnancy is developing safely inside the uterus. It allows you to see your baby for the first time and, in most cases, hear the heartbeat — a special and unforgettable moment.
Why is the 1st Trimester Scan Important?
✔ Confirms pregnancy and its location
✔ Detects your baby’s heartbeat
✔ Accurately determines gestational age
✔ Provides an expected due date
✔ Identifies twins early
✔ Detects possible early complications
If you are experiencing mild abdominal pain, spotting, or simply want reassurance, this scan helps provide clarity and peace of mind.
Options
We offer two safe and effective scanning methods depending on your stage of pregnancy and clinical needs:
1. Transabdominal Ultrasound
• Performed over the abdomen
• Requires a moderately full bladder
• Comfortable and non-invasive
• Suitable for most pregnancies after 6–7 weeks
2. Transvaginal Ultrasound
• Provides clearer images in very early pregnancy
• Used when more detailed assessment is required
• Safe and performed with privacy and care
Both methods use sound waves — not radiation — making them completely safe for both mother and baby.
Safe • Accurate • Reassuring
At Pinnacle Embu we combine modern imaging equipment with compassionate, professional care. Your comfort, privacy, and accurate results are our priority.
Your first trimester scan is more than just a test — it is reassurance, clarity, and the beginning of a guided and safer pregnancy journey.
