What is this scan?
A pregnancy scan uses safe, sound-wave imaging to check your baby's growth, anatomy and well-being at different stages of pregnancy.
When is it performed?
Routine scans are recommended at 6–9 weeks (dating), 11–13+6 weeks (NT), 18–22 weeks (anomaly/TIFFA), and 28–36 weeks (growth). Additional scans may be advised.
Preparation
- Wear loose, two-piece clothing.
- For scans before 12 weeks, drink water and arrive with a comfortably full bladder.
- Bring any previous scan reports and prescriptions.
- After 12 weeks, no special preparation is needed.
