Visit First Glimpse Baby Scan and see your baby for the first time. This baby scan helps to determine the viability of an early pregnancy, we can identify if your pregnancy is in the correct place, and if your pregnancy is a singleton or twin pregnancy. From around 6 weeks gestation we may be able to identify the fluttering of a heartbeat and measure your baby to work out an estimated due date for your baby. 
This early scan is popular with pregnant women who want reassurance before telling relatives and friends their good news. It is also useful for women who are experiencing pain/ bleeding or for those who have had previous complications such as miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies.
