Appended is a rough gauge of what mum's could expect at the earlier stages. Least to say, the later the scan, the more could then be seen:
• At about five weeks, (three weeks after conception) it may be possible to see a small empty pregnancy sac.
• At six weeks a yolk sac can be seen, and sometimes - but not always - a heartbeat may be visible.
• By seven weeks the embryo will be about 1 cm long, and the heart rate will be about 150 beats per minute.
• At eight weeks the embryo will measure 16 mm, and you might be able to make out the head and body, and some movements.
• At nine weeks the head, body and limbs can be seen, and it's looking more like a baby. It's very nearly fully formed, and will then be known as a fetus
