This scan is your initial, vital check-up. It confirms your pregnancy, locates the embryo, measures size for an accurate due date, records the heartbeat, and assesses key early developmental aspects. At Baby Tyme in Kyalami, we ensure this first look provides essential reassurance and information for parents across Midrand and surrounding areas.

We recommend scheduling your 2D First Trimester scan between 6 and 12 weeks of pregnancy. This window allows for optimal confirmation of viability, accurate dating and a clear first view of your baby’s early development.

All our scans, including the 2D First Trimester, are a comprehensive 1 hour 30 minutes. This unhurried approach allows Deborah to gather all necessary information, ensure your comfort, and patiently answer all your questions, making it a truly reassuring experience at our Midrand-accessible studio.

Yes, we welcome your partner and loved ones to share in this special first glimpse. Our comforting studio in Kyalami is designed to include both parents in the process, ensuring a shared, celebratory moment.

This is one of the first things we confirm. We ensure the embryo is safely implanted within the uterus (intrauterine pregnancy) to rule out ectopic pregnancies, providing crucial early peace of mind.

We always do our best to get beautiful images of your baby. If your baby is not in a good position, our experienced sonographer will often try different techniques, or we may ask you to take a short walk or have a drink to encourage movement. In rare cases where a clear view isn’t possible during the scheduled time, we may offer a complimentary re-scan (terms and conditions apply). Your satisfaction is important to us at Baby Tyme.

During this scan, we take precise measurements (like the Crown-Rump Length) to accurately estimate your baby’s gestational age and calculate your expected due date. This is one of the most reliable ways to date your pregnancy.

Detecting and recording your baby’s heartbeat is a key focus of this scan. A clear, strong heartbeat confirms the viability of the pregnancy, offering immense reassurance to expectant parents.

Yes, this early scan is an excellent opportunity to determine if you are expecting multiples. We will carefully check for the presence of more than one gestational sac or embryo.

Deborah will patiently explain everything you see, from the gestational sac and yolk sac (which provides early nourishment) to the developing embryo itself, ensuring you understand each aspect of your baby’s early environment.

In some cases, especially in very early pregnancy (before 7-8 weeks) or if an abdominal view isn’t clear, a transvaginal scan may be recommended to get better detail. Deborah will discuss this with you if necessary, always prioritizing your comfort and the clarity of the results.
