## The Role of Ultrasound Scan in Pregnancy

A mother should do at least 3 scans during the 40 weeks of pregnancy — one every three months. A scan can detect pregnancy after 4 weeks of amenorrhea.

##### Important Note for Expectant Mothers

The three scans described below are for mothers who have no complications such as lower abdominal pain, bleeding, drainage of liquor (amniotic fluid), or cramps. If you experience any of these symptoms, please seek immediate medical attention and additional scans may be required.

- Intrauterine gestation / ectopic pregnancy
- Blighted ovum / unembryonic pregnancy / presence of embryo
- Multiple gestation — twin pregnancy or single embryo
- Fetal gestational age
- Expected date of delivery (EDD)
- Missed abortion — death of embryo/fetus before 20 weeks
- Molar pregnancy — complete or partial
- Complete or incomplete abortions
- Any possible cause of miscarriage
- Uterine masses, ovarian masses

Weeks 13–26

##### Second Scan — Second Trimester

The anatomy scan — a detailed assessment of your baby's development:

- Fetal well-being assessment
- Fetal anatomy assessment to rule out abnormalities
- Assessment of amniotic fluid volume
- Placental location — check for placenta previa
- Cervical incompetence screening
- Nuchal cord detection
- Fetal heart rate monitoring

Weeks 27–40

##### Third Scan — Third Trimester

Final assessment to prepare for a safe delivery:

- Fetal presentation — cephalic, breech, or transverse
- Fetal weight estimation
- Presence or absence of nuchal cord
- Amount of liquor amnii (amniotic fluid)
- Detection of any abnormalities
- Maternal well-being assessment
