Scan Method
Transabdominal or Transvaginal Scan?
Early pregnancy scans may be performed using either method. Your sonographer will explain the procedure and obtain your consent before proceeding.
Transabdominal Ultrasound
A probe is moved over the lower abdomen using ultrasound gel. This method may be suitable once the pregnancy is sufficiently developed and usually requires a full bladder.
Transvaginal Ultrasound
A small internal ultrasound probe is used to obtain clearer images during very early pregnancy. Transvaginal scanning is commonly recommended in the early weeks because it can provide more detailed imaging than an abdominal scan.
You may decline an internal scan if you do not wish to have one. Your sonographer will explain the procedure and obtain your consent before proceeding.
