Ultrasound scans in pregnancy

baby scan and basket

This section explains the two ultrasound screening tests you will be offered during pregnancy. 

The scan is a way of checking that your baby appears to be developing as expected. 

This means it may show up unexpected findings that would then need to be checked by other tests. A scan cannot find all conditions screened for. 

There is an animation available that gives information on the screening tests you will be offered during pregnancy for you and your baby. Please visit:
