If this is your very first pregnancy scan, we suggest you only bring one adult to our clinic in Colchester due to the nature of the scan and the possibility that it may be via the transvaginal method.
*Although we can calculate your EDD, please be aware that your NHS trust will provide you with your formal EDD at your dating scan. Please note that its very common for these dates to differ by a few days.
The Early Peek pregnancy scan is ideal for you if:
You want confirmation that you are pregnant, and that the pregnancy is viable
You are interested in witnessing the initial development of your baby, including heartbeat visualisation
You want to meet your new addition for the first time before your NHS 12-week scan
You want the chance to ask a qualified midwife sonographer any questions about your developing baby
What else do you need to know?
Little Peek Baby Ultrasound take a safety-first approach, that’s why our early peek scan will allow you to see your baby’s heart beating, but you will not hear it before 16 weeks. This is a safety precaution during the very early stages of development
Please do not book this scan until you are at least 6 weeks pregnant, this is to ensure that you are not too early to detect your pregnancy
If you are unsure of your pregnancy dates, feel free to give us a call to discuss the optimal time to book this scan
If you are less than 10 weeks pregnant a transvaginal scan might be offered. This is because your developing baby is tiny, and visualisation is usually better via this route
Extra printed images are available for a small fee
We are only able to scan people over the age of 18
Enjoy £15 off all scans throughout July AND August.
