At Manchester Fertility, we offer an outstanding level of care through-out your pregnancy journey. Our private early pregnancy scans can give you the reassurance that you need, as early as possible.
Our friendly, expert team of sonographers – Anne and Becky provide two types of early pregnancy scans: early reassurance scans for women 7-10 weeks pregnant and reassurance scans for women 10-17 weeks pregnant, providing peace of mind in these early stages.
An early pregnancy scan offers reassurance in the early stages of pregnancy. You can have an early reassurance scan between 7 to 10 weeks into the gestation period, providing comfort and reassurance at this crucial and exciting time.
An early pregnancy scan can help ease any worries you might have about your pregnancy. It enables you to:

A reassurance scan provides additional peace of mind for expectant parents between 10 and 17 weeks pregnant. Reassurance scans can confirm the viability of the pregnancy and, from 16 weeks onwards, determine the sex of your baby, if possible. These scans are performed on the tummy and patients are asked to attend with a full bladder.
If you’re between 10 and 17 weeks pregnant, a reassurance scan can provide peace of mind about your pregnancy’s progression. Reasons for having a reassurance scan include:
If possible we can determine the sex of the baby.
You’ll also receive a scan report and printouts of your baby’s scan.
Our caring, highly experienced sonographers Anne and Becky perform all of early pregnancy scans and reassurance scans at our welcoming, state-of-the-art fertility clinic in Cheadle.
We want you to be as comfortable as possible during your early pregnancy scan. The process for early pregnancy scans and reassurance scans will differ slightly depending on which scan you are having.
After you’ve had the scan, Anne or Becky will give you a paper printout of the scan report, along with some scan pictures of your baby.

Our friendly, expert team of sonographers – Anne and Becky will talk you through the outcome of your scan and answer any questions you may have.
We also offer non-invasive prenatal chromosome testing (NIPT), which tests for conditions like Down’s Syndrome. Available to women from 10 weeks pregnant, NIPT involves analysing a sample of your blood to identify the risk of chromosome conditions to your baby.
As well as testing for Down’s, NIPT can identify risk levels for other chromosome conditions like Turner’s Syndrome and Edwards Syndrome. A NIPT blood test can be carried out following your early pregnancy scan. Find out more about NIPT here.
As part of the Reassurance Scan if we can scan you at 16-17+ weeks and if it is possible to see the sex of your baby the sonographer will let you know.
No we do not currently have that facility.
If you still feel you need more guidance and support, you can book a FREE 1-2-1 discovery meeting to talk through the options available to you.
