Antenatal (pregnancy) Ultrasound


Ultrasound scans are performed for various reasons throughout pregnancy as can be seen below. Partners, close friends or family members are welcome to attend the appointment with you. Reports and scans will be saved and given to you on a USB-stick provided by the Practice.

If you have booked, or would like to book a private pregnancy scan, please read our patient information on antenatal screening.

Below you will find a schedule of routine antenatal scans in pregnancy:

8-10 weeks A scan to determine the location and dates of the pregnancy.

Down’s syndrome risk screening.  A scan and a blood test will help to determine the risk for a pregnancy with Down’s syndrome (Trisomy 21). The dates of the pregnancy can also be determined at this scan.
18-23 weeks
Fetal anomaly scan. This looks at the baby’s organs and development. It includes a fetal echocardiography (a detailed look at the baby’s heart) and a Doppler ultrasound. The baby’s gender can be identified if requested.

Fetal wellbeing scan. This looks for the baby’s growth and position as well as the placental function. This appointment also includes a Doppler ultrasound to ensure the baby’s blood supply through the placenta is good.
