Ultrasound at Different Stages of Pregnancy
Pregnancy ultrasound scans may be recommended at various stages to assess fetal development, confirm key milestones and support clinical decision-making. Each scan provides important information about your baby’s health, position and growth.
Before 12 weeks
Confirms the pregnancy, checks fetal heartbeat, size and position, and determines whether there is more than one baby.
12–13 weeks
Allows early assessment of fetal anatomy, with major organs and structures visible and some abnormalities detectable.
20–22 weeks
The optimal time for a detailed morphology scan, assessing fetal anatomy, growth, placental position and overall development.
After 26 weeks
Focuses on monitoring fetal growth, wellbeing and position, with anatomy reviewed as visibility allows in later stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that patients often have questions before their imaging appointment. Below are answers to some of the most common enquiries to help you feel informed, prepared and confident before your visit.
Is pregnancy ultrasound safe for both mother and baby?
Yes. Pregnancy ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive examination that uses sound waves rather than radiation and is widely used throughout pregnancy.
Why might my doctor recommend multiple ultrasound scans?
Ultrasounds may be recommended at different stages to monitor growth, confirm dates, assess anatomy, check placental position and support overall pregnancy care.
Do pregnancy ultrasounds require any preparation?
Preparation depends on the stage of pregnancy. Early scans may require a full bladder, while later scans usually do not. Our team will advise you at the time of booking.
Can ultrasound detect chromosomal abnormalities?
Some ultrasound findings can help assess the risk of certain chromosomal conditions; however, ultrasound alone cannot provide a definitive diagnosis.
Will I be able to see my baby during the scan?
Yes. Images are displayed on a screen during the examination, and the sonographer will explain what is being viewed where appropriate.
