Nine Months : The ultrasound scan
ULTRASOUND SCAN
An ultrasound scan uses sound waves to produce an image
of your baby (in the womb) on the screen. Click here to find out how an ultrasound scan
is carried out.
Ultrasound scans are routinely done in all hospitals around
20 weeks (referred to as the anomaly scan) to check for
structural abnormalities in the baby. In additon to this 20
week scan, some hospitals also offer a scan at 12 weeks to
help confirm your due date. Check your antenatal care schedule to see if
your hospital offers this additional scan.
If required, ultrasound scans may also be carried out at
other times during your pregnancy.
