What Is a Viability Scan?
- A viability scan is an early pregnancy ultrasound that helps assess how your pregnancy is progressing. It can be used to:
- Confirm an intrauterine pregnancy (pregnancy developing in the womb)
- Check that early development looks consistent with your dates
- Identify whether a heartbeat can be seen (when possible, depending on gestation)
- Provide an estimated gestational age and estimated due date (where appropriate)
This scan is offered for reassurance and information and does not replace your routine maternity care.

OUR TESTIMONIALS
Frequently Asked Questions
A viability scan helps check that the pregnancy appears to be developing in the womb (intrauterine) and reviews early progress. Depending on gestational age, it may also show whether a heartbeat can be seen.
Most people book a viability scan between 6 and 12 weeks. If you are very early, visibility can be limited—booking slightly later may provide clearer confirmation and more reassurance.
Not always. Heartbeat visibility depends on how far along you are, and sometimes individual factors like dates or visibility. If it’s too early, we’ll explain what that means and whether a follow-up scan may be helpful.
No. A private viability scan is for reassurance and information alongside your routine care. It does not replace NHS appointments, medical assessments, or urgent care if you have concerning symptoms.
Ultrasound is widely used in pregnancy and is considered safe when performed appropriately. We follow safety-focused practices and prioritise comfort, privacy, and clear communication throughout your visit.
