Dr Jasdev Singh
Early Pregnancy & Viability Assessment
In the first weeks, a scan and blood tests can confirm where the pregnancy is and whether it is developing as expected, with clear explanations at each step.
Early Pregnancy Care
Checking that your early pregnancy is developing well
Viability means the pregnancy is developing and has a heartbeat. An early assessment uses an ultrasound, often an internal scan, and sometimes blood tests for the pregnancy hormone hCG. It confirms the pregnancy is in the womb and checks its size and heartbeat.
Waiting for early scans can be an anxious time, especially after a previous loss or fertility treatment.
Dr Jasdev explains exactly what the scan shows, including when a repeat scan is needed before anything is certain.

Your symptoms and dates are reviewed promptly, with scans and blood tests arranged when needed.

What the assessment involves
An internal scan gives the clearest view before about ten weeks. It measures the pregnancy sac and the baby, and looks for a heartbeat, which is usually visible from around six to seven weeks. If it is too early to be sure, a repeat scan or blood tests are arranged. Blood tests may be repeated after two days to see how hCG levels are changing.
Who may benefit
Women with bleeding or pain in early pregnancy, those with a previous miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, and women who conceived after fertility treatment. It also helps women who feel anxious after a previous difficult pregnancy.
What to expect
The scan takes around fifteen minutes. You will be told what is seen during the scan or straight after. If the results are uncertain, you will know when the next scan is and which signs to watch for.

Your questions about early pregnancy assessment
What is a viability assessment?
It is a check, usually by ultrasound, that an early pregnancy is in the womb and developing, with a heartbeat once it is old enough.
Who should have one?
Women with bleeding, pain, a previous loss or ectopic pregnancy, or a pregnancy after fertility treatment.
What tests are involved?
An ultrasound, often internal, and sometimes blood tests for the pregnancy hormone hCG.
Is the scan safe for the baby?
Yes. Ultrasound uses sound waves, not radiation, and is considered safe in pregnancy. An internal scan does not cause miscarriage.
