What Should You Expect Through Your Dating Ultrasound Scan?

When you, you will be asked to fill out a form with some information related to the scan, including when your last menstrual cycle occurred (if known).

The sonographer will call you when it's time to enter the scanning room.

There are two ways to complete your dating scan.

1. Abdomen

You will be requested to lie on the table with your stomach exposed, a towel will be placed over your pants to prevent the gel from spreading to your clothes. A water-soluble gel that won't leave stains on your clothes.

After applying a clear gel to your abdomen, the sonographer glides the probe over it while taking pictures.

Please ensure that you come with a full bladder, so it is easier to obtain clear images of your uterus.

2. Vaginal

You'll be asked to empty your bladder and put on a gown after your abdominal scan. You will next be asked to lay on the bed while a special probe is placed in your vagina. This has a disposable sterile cover. To capture images of the uterus and ovaries, the vaginal probe is moved with variable pressure and at various angles during this examination.

This helps us get a much clearer picture of your baby's growth.

the number of gestational sacs and foetuses.
