Pregnancy Scan
Under Pregnancy scan we send sound waves through one’s womb (uterus). These waves bounce off the baby as echoes. The echoes are then turned into an image on a screen that shows the baby’s position and movements. Hard tissues, such as bone, reflect the most sound waves and so make the biggest echoes. These appear white in the image, and soft tissues appear grey. Fluids, such as the amniotic fluid surrounding your baby, appear black. This is because the sound waves go through them with no echoes.
Depending on the stage of pregnancy, scans can be used for:
• Check that your baby has a heartbeat.
• Say whether you’re pregnant with one baby or twins or more.
• Detect an ectopic pregnancy, where the embryo implants outside the womb, usually in the fallopian tube.
• Find out the cause of any bleeding you may be having.
• Accurately date your pregnancy by measuring your baby.
• Assess your baby’s risk of Down’s syndrome by measuring fluid at the back of your baby’s neck at 11 weeks plus two days to 14 weeks plus one day
• Find out why a blood screening test was abnormal.
• Help with diagnostic tests, such as CVS or amniocentesis, by showing the position of the baby and placenta.
• Examine the baby to see if all his organs are normal.
• Diagnose most abnormalities
• Assess the amount of amniotic fluid you have and find out where the placenta lies.
• Measure your baby’s rate of growth over several scans.
