A member asked:
I am pregnant for the first time. i went on 8 and 12 weeks and have a scan booked for 20 weeks. do i need a 16 week scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ultrasound: An ultrasound scan at 8 weeks can confirm fetal heart detection, and one at 12 weeks can screen for some genetic abnormalities, and progression of fetal growth. If both ultrasounds were "normal", a repeat scan at 16 weeks is generally not required.
