All this is indicated to you via some symptoms like morning sickness, mood swings, frequent urination and more, but to confirm that your pregnancy is healthy, a visit to your healthcare specialist is a must.
First-trimester scan
Early Pregnancy/Viability scan: an early pregnancy scan is a very important one as it will confirm the pregnancy and establish a due date. It is a transabdominal scan (done over the tummy) and is performed between 7-11 weeks of pregnancy. It also helps in confirmation of the number of embryos, the presence of heartbeat and detection of internal bleeding, if any.
