Week 12 of Pregnancy – What to Expect

You’ve reached the final week of your first trimester—congratulations. Many expectant parents find this a reassuring milestone as symptoms often begin to ease, and the risk of miscarriage drops significantly.

At Merrion Ultrasound, week 12 is a key time for scans and the NIPT test. Your baby is now about the size of a plum and is fully formed.

Pregnancy Week 20:

You’re now halfway through your pregnancy, and your baby is about the size of a courgette — around 16.5cm from head to bottom.

This week often marks the mid-pregnancy anatomy scan, where detailed checks are done on your baby’s brain, heart, spine, kidneys, limbs, and more. It’s a key milestone that can bring reassurance or highlight areas for extra support.

You may also start to feel more defined movements — gentle flutters turning into unmistakable kicks.

Your uterus is now at the level of your belly button, and you might notice changes in your skin, hair, or circulation.

Take time to rest when needed and nourish your body — you’re doing something extraordinary.

What is a Gynaecological Ultrasound Scan? A gynaecological ultrasound scan is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the pelvic region, including the reproductive organs. This ultrasound is central as a diagnostic tool for the female reproductive system.

It is used to monitor women's health and also the progress of a pregnancy.

This diagnostic method is used to monitor the growth and development of a fetus during pregnancy, including checking for fetal viability, measuring fetal size and position, and detecting any abnormalities or complications.

🌿 Pregnancy Diary: Week 11 – Discover Your Baby's Journey 🌿

At 11 weeks, your baby is now about the size of a fig! 🍃 Their tiny fingers and toes have fully separated, their head is still big (almost half their body size!), and features like the tongue, ni***es, and palate are forming beautifully. You might even be able to hear their heartbeat with a Doppler! 💓

If you're still feeling tired, queasy, or craving the strangest snacks, you're not alone. It’s all part of the magic—and madness—of the first trimester.

✨ Tip of the week: Eat your spinach! 🥬 It's packed with folic acid, iron, and vitamins A, C, and K—essential for baby’s development and for keeping your own energy up.

👶 Thinking about seeing your baby before the 12-week mark? At Merrion Ultrasound in Dublin, we offer early pregnancy scans so you can connect with your little one even sooner.

📅 Book your appointment today and take one more step on this amazing journey with peace of mind and expert care.

Why might a repeat sample be necessary for the NIPT?

There needs to be enough fetal DNA in the maternal blood to be able to provide a result. If there is insufficient fetal DNA in the sample (which occurs in 2% of cases), another blood sample from the mother may be required. This will be processed in the laboratory at no extra charge.

✨ Pregnancy Diary – Week 15 ✨
Your baby is now about the size of an apple. At 15 weeks, little facial muscles are starting to flex, meaning baby might already be pulling cute expressions in the womb.

This is also a week where many expectant parents start to notice a small bump and feel more energy returning. You may even be preparing for your first major scan in the coming weeks.

At Merrion Ultrasound, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re curious about baby’s development or booking a reassurance scan, our team offers expert care in a calm, professional setting.

"I was here last week for the harmony test and the staff were lovely, were friendly. We had arrived late as we had another appointment in Holles St but the staff were completely understanding and we were still seen straight away instead of having to rebook which wouldn't be ideal as we travelled from Waterford."

When Can I Have My Early Pregnancy Scan?

Especially if this is your first pregnancy, you may also be unsure as to when is the earliest you could have your first scan. We offer an early scan from 6 to 17 weeks.

These weeks refer to the gestational age of your baby, and what this means is that the date is taken from your last period. However, we often recommend leaving this scan until after 7 weeks if possible, because at this stage we can normally get more accurate information at your scan.
