Hala la  !  You are Pregnant and about to have your first scan

Preparation 

Drink between 4-5 cups of water or liquid approximately one hour before your ultrasound scan. A full bladder provides a window and aids visibility. Wear loose clothing.

 

Before the examination, we may ask you to please change into a gown. We will ask you to lie down on the examination table and expose the area that needs to be scanned. Our doctor will apply a lubricating jelly to the area so that the equipment can easily glide along your skin without any friction. An ultrasound transducer sends a high-frequency sound wave into the area. The waves echo off of the internal structures and are reflected on the monitor - essentially mapping the internal structures for us. These images are highly detailed and allow us to detect any potential or developing issues.

 

Epexpectation

The gestational sac or embryo will be measured and the heartbeat recorded (if applicable), We assess the location of the pregnancy to exclude an ectopic pregnancy and establish the presence of single or multiple pregnancy.

We calculate your expected due date by comparing the first day of your last menstrual period with specific measurements of the foetus by measuring the distance from the top of the head (crown) to the bottom of the body (rump).

The scan is an external transabdominal scan but we may perform a transvaginal scan if the pregnancy is very early.
