What is a Pregnancy Ultrasound?
A pregnancy ultrasound or baby scan, also known as an obstetric ultrasound, is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of the baby and the uterus. It allows healthcare providers to monitor the baby’s development, assess the health of the pregnancy, and ensure everything is progressing as expected.
Why Are Pregnancy Ultrasounds Important?
Monitoring Fetal Development: These scans provide detailed images of your baby’s growth, helping doctors confirm that everything is developing as expected.
Identifying Complications: Ultrasounds can detect complications such as ectopic pregnancies, placenta previa, and fetal growth restrictions, allowing for timely medical intervention and better management of potential risks.
Gender Reveal: For parents who wish to know their baby’s gender, ultrasounds provide an opportunity to find out during the mid-pregnancy scans. This information can be exciting and helpful for planning and preparing for the baby’s arrival.
Pregnancy Ultrasound Scans We Offer
Types of Pregnancy Ultrasounds
Early Pregnancy Scan
Conducted between 6-10 weeks, this initial scan confirms the pregnancy and verifies the baby’s heartbeat. It can also see if you are expecting twins and check the embryo's position.
Gender Scan
Performed around 18-20 weeks, this scan reveals the baby's gender if you wish to find out. It offers an early glimpse of your little one and helps you prepare for their arrival.
3D and 4D Ultrasound
Advanced 3D and 4D scans provide detailed three-dimensional and real-time four-dimensional images, allowing you to observe your baby's features and movements with enhanced clarity.
Growth Scan
Conducted in the later stages of pregnancy, growth scans monitor the baby's size and development to ensure everything is progressing as expected, so there are no surprises.
Detail Scan Baby
Typically done between 18-22 weeks, this scan evaluates the baby's anatomy, including the brain, spine, heart, limbs, and internal organs, to ensure healthy development.
Anomaly Scan
Around 20-22 weeks, this scan identifies any physical abnormalities or structural issues, such as neural tube defects, heart defects, and other congenital conditions.
Generally, no special preparation is needed for most ultrasounds. For some early scans, you may be asked to have a full bladder to get clearer images. During your ultrasound, you’ll lie comfortably on an examination table. A gel will be applied to your abdomen to help the ultrasound probe move smoothly and create clear images. The probe will be gently moved over your belly to capture images of the baby and uterus. The entire procedure is painless and typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes.

The Recommended Ultrasound Schedule
Some women will have multiple ultrasounds for their baby to check in for each trimester, while others choose to do specific baby scans to find out their gender or rule out any congenital disease due to family history. If you choose to follow a detailed prenatal plan, here’s the ideal list of ultrasounds you can get throughout your pregnancy.
First Trimester (6-10 Weeks)
Confirm pregnancy and the location of the embryo, detect fetal heartbeat, and determine the gestational age.
Nuchal Translucency Scan (11-14 Weeks)
Assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome by measuring the fluid at the back of the baby’s neck.
Second Trimester Anatomy Scan (18-22 Weeks)
Evaluate fetal anatomy, including the brain, spine, heart, limbs, and other organs for structural abnormalities and confirm the baby’s growth and development.
Gender Scan (18-20 Weeks)
Reveal the baby’s gender upon request. This scan is often performed alongside the anatomy scan and provides a chance to learn more about the baby.
Growth Scan (28-36 Weeks)
Monitor the baby’s growth, size, and overall development in the later stages of pregnancy.
Third Trimester Scan (36-40 Weeks)
Check the position of the baby, the health of the placenta, and the amount of amniotic fluid so you’ll be ready before the day of delivery.
The specific schedule may vary based on individual health needs, risk factors, and healthcare provider recommendations. Some pregnancies may require additional scans if complications or concerns arise. Always follow your doctor’s advice for personalized ultrasound scheduling.
