What can I expect during an ultrasound at the twelfth week of pregnancy?
The ultrasound at 12 weeks is typically part of a combined screening test. During this scan, your healthcare provider will assess your baby’s growth, measure the nuchal translucency (fluid at the back of your baby’s neck), and confirm the pregnancy’s progress. If any indications of chromosomal abnormalities are detected, a follow-up blood test may be recommended.
You may also catch a glimpse of your baby’s head, body, and limbs on the screen—and even see their tiny movements!
