Overview
At Lumina Clinic, we offer an early dating scan from 6 to 15 weeks of pregnancy, providing clarity and reassurance at the very start of your journey. This 5–10 minute 2D abdominal scan confirms your positive pregnancy test, assesses the gestational age, provides an estimated due date, and checks the baby’s heartbeat.
Your appointment also includes a complimentary health check and a digital report, giving you a clear overview of both your wellbeing and your baby’s early development. You will receive three 2D black‑and‑white thermal images to take home as a keepsake.
Please note that this scan requires a full bladder. We recommend drinking fluids 30–45 minutes before your appointment and avoiding the bathroom during this time to ensure the best possible images.
