The Confirmation of Pregnancy Scan is designed to provide you with the earliest confirmation of your pregnancy. It is recommended for those who have recently discovered they are pregnant or for those seeking verification of their exciting news.

This scan is ideally conducted between 4 to 6 weeks after your last menstrual period. During this period, the gestational sac and fetal pole become visible, offering conclusive evidence of a developing pregnancy.

To ensure the success of the Confirmation of Pregnancy Scan, we recommend the following:

1. Hydration: Drink plenty of water in the hours leading up to your scan. This helps in obtaining clearer images.

2. Comfortable Attire: Wear loose and comfortable clothing, as you may need to expose your lower abdomen for the scan.

3. Empty Bladder (if required): Depending on your specific situation, you may be asked to empty your bladder before the scan.

4. Bring Headphones: While we strive to keep wait times minimal, unforeseen circumstances or emergency cases may cause delays. To enhance your comfort during any potential wait, consider bringing headphones to enjoy calming music or entertainment.

5. Carry a Fresh Napkin: For your convenience, we recommend bringing a fresh napkin or small towel to clean off the ultrasound jelly after the scan.

6. Personal Water Bottle: Although we provide clean water to drink, feel free to bring your own water bottle for added convenience and personal preference.

The Confirmation of Pregnancy Scan is a usually transvaginal ultrasound, which involves the insertion of a small probe into the vagina to obtain clear and detailed images of the developing gestational sac and fetal pole.

Upon completion of the Scan, please follow these guidelines:

1. Remain Until Cleared: Stay on the premises until cleared by our nursing staff or reception desk. In certain instances, the Radiologist may need to revisit specific aspects of the scan, and your continued presence may be essential.

2. Report collection: The comprehensive process of image analysis, report drafting, and image printing usually takes 1-2 hours. During this time, you are welcome to continue with your day, with the flexibility to collect the report at a later time within our working hours. Alternatively, you can conveniently download the report from our secure portal.

3. Results Communication: Be assured that not only is the report accessible to you, but it is also promptly sent to your referring Gynecologist. If required, our Radiologist may communicate the results directly over the phone to your Gynecologist, ensuring comprehensive and timely information about the health of your baby.

After the Confirmation of Pregnancy Scan, our dedicated team works efficiently to provide you with the report within 1 hour. However, please understand that in certain instances, such as during heavy rush or emergency cases, there might be slight delays.
