Dating scan
This is performed between 6 and 9 weeks to determine your due date, confirm an intra-uterine pregnancy and ascertain whether you have a singleton or twin pregnancy.
Nuchal translucency ultrasound scan
This is performed between 11 and 14 weeks. This is an early but often detailed assessment of your baby’s anatomy in addition to being a part of the first trimester combined down syndrome screen. It is recommended in all pregnant women, even those having NIPT for their antenatal genetic screening.
Morphology scan
This is performed between 18 and 22 weeks and assesses the anatomy of your baby, the location of your placenta and the length of your cervix.
Growth scans
Additional ultrasound scans after the morphology ultrasound may be organized to formally assess the growth and well being of your baby as the pregnancy progresses.
A bedside ultrasound will be performed at every antenatal appointment to assess the wellbeing of your baby.
