Our viability scan in Rotherham is a private early pregnancy ultrasound created to give you reassurance when you need it most. At Baby Bump, you’ll be welcomed into a calm, supportive setting where we can check that the pregnancy is developing in the right place, review early progress, and (when possible) see a heartbeat.
Many parents book a pregnancy viability scan for peace of mind during the early weeks—whether you’re feeling anxious, have symptoms that are worrying you, or simply want reassurance before your routine NHS appointments. If you’re looking for an early pregnancy scan that families trust, this is a gentle way to check in on how things are progressing.
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 checks that the pregnancy is developing in the womb (intrauterine) and reviews early development. It may also confirm whether a heartbeat can be seen, depending on how far along you are.
Many people book a viability scan in early pregnancy when they want reassurance. What we can see depends on gestational age, so if you’re very early, a slightly later scan may provide clearer confirmation.
Not always. Heartbeat visibility depends on gestation and individual factors. If it’s too early to see everything clearly, we’ll explain what that means and whether a follow-up scan at a different time would be more suitable.
No. A viability scan does not replace your NHS appointments or medical assessments. It is a private scan for reassurance alongside your routine maternity care.
Ultrasound is widely used in pregnancy and is considered safe when performed appropriately. We follow safety-focused practices and prioritise your comfort throughout the scan.
