Through Your Pregnancy

Ultrasound in Pregnancy

A widely used examination.

Ultrasound uses sound waves rather than ionising radiation and is widely used in pregnancy care when performed for a medical indication by trained professionals.

The type and number of scans advised depends on your individual pregnancy and your treating doctor's guidance. Preparation differs by scan type and is shared when your appointment is confirmed.

Getting the Most From Each Visit

  • Know the purpose

    Ask what the examination is designed to assess.

  • Bring your records

    Previous reports make comparison possible.

  • Ask your questions

    Write them down before you arrive.

  • Understand the limits

    No examination can answer every question, and that is normal.

Please Note

This page is general education. Your treating doctor can explain what your own examination and report mean for you.
