🌟 SERVICES SPOTLIGHT - EARLY STRUCTURAL ULTRASOUND 🌟
An early structural ultrasound is conducted between 12-14 weeks gestation, ideally at around 13-13.5 weeks gestation.
Purposes of an Early Structural Scan:
• Measure the baby’s growth
• Assess early fetal structures, including the brain, thickness at the back of the neck (nuchal translucency), spine, limbs, heart, stomach and bladder, as well as the placenta and uterus.
• Potentially aid the early detection of any major structural abnormality
Preparation for your scan:
• Bring your referral with you to your appointment.
• You will need a full bladder for this ultrasound.
