Heartbeat At six weeks, sonographers may be able to see a heartbeat on the monitor more on this below. How many ultrasounds do you get in a typical pregnancy? Location of the embryo The technician is looking at whether the embryo implants in the uterus. Yolk sac At this early stage, the sonographer will be looking for a yolk sac, which is attached to the baby like a balloon to provide nourishment, explains Kinnear.

The lower tummy and pelvis may be very tender and painful. The risk of an ectopic pregnancy is low in women who have not had one before but much higher if they have had one before or if they have previously had pelvic infection.
In these cases a medical assessment is imperative. On the NHS you may be offered an ultrasound, through one of the various early pregnancy assessment units. The ultrasound at this stage would be performed through the vagina. If there is any suspicion of an ectopic pregnancy then a scan will be performed. A private clinic can offer an ultrasound and a blood test at this stage, although you may want to wait just one more week until the heartbeat can be easily picked up by the sonographer. We had received possible worrying news from our NHS anomaly scan, without much information provided or confirmation.
I am so pleased that we came to The Birth Company for reassurance, as we are now extremely happy that everything is fine. Shahrzad was fantastic and went through the whole anomaly scan thoroughly, explaining everything and looking in detail at each area.
Nothing was rushed and she took her time to make sure baby was in the correct position to get the best results. Would highly recommend The Birth Company for all scans. The scan and blood test where efficient without feeling rushed and all very easy. These appointments can feel uneasy and make you feel anxious but I felt reassured and in professional hands the whole time.
I saw Kate throughout my first pregnancy and am now doing so again with my second. She is absolutely amazing, she explains everything really clearly, and has answered all sorts of bizarre questions and worries I have had. On top of being clinically excellent she is also just the loveliest person and always a pleasure to see.
We had the harmony test with the Birth Company and had a reassurance scan with sonographer Kirsty McGarry who was absolutely lovely and really put our minds at rest. We had been scared by our NHS dating scan and left feeling like there was something wrong. We explained the situation and was treated very professionally and with good care. Also speedy appointments also as I had phone in the morning and got an appointment by afternoon.
So thankful. Really friendly, efficient service. Great experience overall. Had the Panorama. My appointment was with Kate who was absolutely fantastic. The results came really quickly. Have a comparison with private healthcare elsewhere and must say that The Birth Company was just how I would like to be treated when I pay for medical services - attentively, calmly, friendly, in a pleasant environment that doesn't look like hospital.
Top marks! Staff are always friendly and extremely efficient. I would highly recommend coming here. She was fantastic. Every staff member that myself and my husband have come into contact with have been approachable, professional and friendly. Your reproductive organs must also be clearly visible.
Drinking four or five glasses of water around an hour before your scheduled scan is advisable so that the bladder is full at the right time. You may urinate after the scan is completed.
The scanning process does not take a lot of time. The entire process is usually over within a few minutes; it will seldom take more than half an hour.
As mentioned earlier, there are two ways to carry out an ultrasound scan. One is the transabdominal scan, and the other is the transvaginal scan. For both the scans, the expecting mother is made to lie on her back on a bed. During a transabdominal scan, her tummy is lubricated using a gel, and a scanning probe is pressed on top of her belly in a firm manner. During a transvaginal scan, a thinner scanning probe is inserted in the vagina. In both cases, the images are studied on a computer screen.
Usually, the quality of the images obtained during a transabdominal scan helps the technician determine whether you need a transvaginal ultrasound scan. The probes used for both the ultrasound scans emit ultrasonic sound waves that help capture an image of the baby inside the womb. These images are then evaluated by the doctor for assessing your pregnancy. Many mothers wonder what exactly to expect in an ultrasound scan done in the 6th week.
Well, several aspects of the pregnancy and the baby in the womb can be obtained using the scanning procedure. Some of them are mentioned below. In some cases, the ultrasound scan may not reveal the embryo or any of its vital signs.
The lack of a heartbeat does not mean anything significant, as later scans are sure to detect the heartbeat of the foetus. You might be off about the timing of the pregnancy, thinking that it has gone on for longer than it actually has.
