Pregnancy is a new beginning filled with excitement and questions. One of the first important steps is your early pregnancy scan, typically done between 6 and 9 weeks. This scan does much more than just confirm you’re expecting—it lays the foundation for your prenatal journey.

What Happens During This Scan?

At Twinkle Fetal Medicine Centre, we use high-resolution ultrasound technology to:

• Confirm the presence of a gestational sac
• Check for fetal heartbeat
• Determine the location of pregnancy (to rule out ectopic pregnancy)
• Accurately date the pregnancy
• Detect if it’s a single or multiple pregnancy

Fetal Ultrasound: Guiding Healthy Pregnancies With Clear Insight

Why Is It Important?

• Peace of Mind: Seeing your baby’s heartbeat for the first time can be reassuring.
• Accurate Dating: Knowing the correct due date is essential for planning further scans and tests.
• Early Intervention: If any concern is detected, such as bleeding or lack of heartbeat, early management improves outcomes.
