What Is a 6 Weeks Pregnancy Scan?
A 6 weeks pregnancy scan is a private ultrasound scan performed early in pregnancy to:
- Confirm the presence of a pregnancy
- Detect a heartbeat (often from around 6–7 weeks)
- Confirm that the pregnancy is inside the uterus
- Estimate how far along you are
- Check for single or multiple pregnancies
- Provide reassurance and answer your early questions about how your pregnancy is progressing
This scan is especially helpful if you:
✔ Want reassurance before your NHS dating scan
✔ Are experiencing early pregnancy anxiety
✔ Have had pain, bleeding, or uncertainty
✔ Want to know how far along you are early on
When Should I Have an Early Scan?
From 6 weeks: Viability checks and heartbeat confirmation
7–8 weeks: Often clearer images and heartbeat detection
Up to 14 weeks: Still useful for dating, reassurance, and wellbeing checks
Every pregnancy is unique; some pregnancies may be clearer visually a week or two later, which can help with accurate measurements and reassurance.
Additional Services:
Transvaginal Pregnancy Scan (if required) at no extra charge (Optional)
Upgrades: Additional prints available for just £4 each

How the Scan Works

Transvaginal (internal) — typically available from 6–8 weeks, allowing for clearer early imaging when necessary
At Little Stars 4D Scan, experienced female sonographers perform all scans in a supportive and compassionate environment.
Safety & Comfort
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves — not radiation — and has been safely employed in pregnancy for decades. Performed by trained professionals, it is considered safe for both you and your baby.
At our clinics:
Your comfort and dignity are a priority
A chaperone service is available on request
All scans are conducted by qualified female sonographers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a transvaginal pregnancy scan painful?
No — it is usually very comfortable and provides a clearer early view of the pregnancy when required.
Can this scan determine my due date?
Yes — we measure the embryo to give you a pregnancy dating estimate.
Can I see the heartbeat?
Often yes from around 6–7 weeks, although sometimes earlier scans may not show this clearly.
What if nothing is visible yet?
Very early scanning at 6 weeks can occasionally be too soon to see everything; if that happens, we may recommend a rescan a week or two later.

A transvaginal pregnancy scan is a safe and gentle ultrasound used in early pregnancy, typically from 6 weeks onwards, to obtain clearer and more detailed images of the womb and developing pregnancy when an abdominal scan may not yet be sufficient. This procedure involves the careful use of a slim ultrasound probe, conducted with full consent and respect for your comfort and privacy.
Why Might I Need a Transvaginal Pregnancy Scan?
A transvaginal scan may be recommended if:
- Your pregnancy is very early and clarity is needed
- Your dates are uncertain
- Your womb is tilted (retroverted uterus)
- A heartbeat cannot yet be seen clearly on an abdominal scan
- You need reassurance following previous pregnancy concerns
This scan allows us to confirm the location of the pregnancy, detect your baby’s heartbeat earlier, and accurately date your pregnancy.
Is a Transvaginal Scan Safe and Painful?
Yes — a transvaginal pregnancy scan is completely safe for both you and your baby. Most patients find this private ultrasound scan comfortable and not painful, though you may experience mild pressure. Your comfort is our priority, and the scan will only be performed with your full consent.
All scans are performed by qualified and experienced female sonographers, ensuring a calm, respectful, and supportive experience.
Is There an Extra Charge for a Transvaginal Scan?
No. At our clinic, a transvaginal pregnancy scan is included at no extra cost if it is clinically required during your Early Reassurance Scan. The scan is optional, and we will always explain everything clearly before proceeding.

We provide a wide range of ultrasound and blood testing services tailored to your needs. Our offerings include 6 weeks pregnancy scans, private ultrasound scans, pelvic and fertility scans, and a comprehensive selection of blood tests, including transvaginal pregnancy scans.
At Little Stars 4D Scan, we provide professional and compassionate early pregnancy scans at our clinics in Nottingham, Sheffield, and Stoke-on-Trent. Our early pregnancy scan, often referred to as an early reassurance scan or viability scan, is available from as early as 6 weeks of pregnancy. This 6 weeks pregnancy scan is designed to confirm your pregnancy, detect your baby’s heartbeat, confirm the location of the pregnancy, check the number of babies, and provide accurate dating. Many women opt for a private ultrasound scan for reassurance, especially if their last menstrual period (LMP) dates may be slightly inaccurate or if they simply want peace of mind before their NHS appointment.
Your health and mental wellbeing are our top priorities at Little Stars 4D Scan. We understand that early pregnancy can be an anxious time, and reassurance is essential during these initial weeks. Our experienced female sonographers go beyond their clinical duties to provide emotional support, understanding, and a calm environment where you feel comfortable and respected. We take pride in maintaining female dignity and privacy by ensuring that only female sonographers perform our scans.
We offer early pregnancy scans from 6–14 weeks, and in most cases, a heartbeat can be detected from 6 weeks depending on dating accuracy. If we find that your pregnancy is earlier than expected due to late ovulation or slightly incorrect LMP dates, and viability cannot yet be confirmed, we offer a free rescan at no additional cost. This ensures you receive clarity and reassurance without added financial stress.
For very early pregnancies, we may recommend a transvaginal pregnancy scan to obtain clearer images. At Little Stars 4D Scan, this transvaginal scanning is available with no extra charge. We carefully explain the procedure beforehand, ensuring it is carried out professionally and respectfully to guarantee your comfort.
If you are searching for an early pregnancy scan near me, a private early pregnancy scan in Nottingham, Sheffield, or Stoke-on-Trent, Little Stars 4D Scan offers same-day appointments (subject to availability) in a safe, welcoming, and professional setting. Our early reassurance scans are designed not only to confirm viability but also to provide complete peace of mind during one of the most important moments of your life.
At Little Stars 4D Scan, we are committed to delivering expert care, reassurance, and support from the very beginning of your pregnancy journey.
