When: around 8 weeks of pregnancy.
What do we see: if there is a live fetus in the womb, if the heart is beating in the amniotic sac, approximately how far along you are in the pregnancy and whether it is one or more children.
When: Between 10 and 12 weeks of pregnancy.
What we see: around this period we can accurately determine how long you are pregnant and what your due date is.
When: between 12+3 and 14+3 weeks
What we see: As of September 2021, every pregnant woman can use an early screening ultrasound. Some abnormalities can be seen early on. This ultrasound is performed in the scientific research IMITAS.
When: at 19-20 weeks of pregnancy.
What do we see: we check the development of the child and the structure of the organs. The growth of the child is also examined, whether there is sufficient amniotic fluid and whether there are any serious congenital abnormalities.
When: around 32 weeks of pregnancy (and sometimes more often if indicated).
What we see: the growth of the child can be determined by measuring the head, abdomen and a bone in the thigh. We also check the amount of amniotic fluid, the placenta and the position of the child.
When: around 35/36 weeks (if needed).
What do we see: if the child is lying head down, or not lying in a standard position.
Ultrasounds are made to determine the term of your pregnancy and to check the growth and eventually the position of your child.
An ultrasound doesn't guarantee an healthy child. Despite our best effort, some abnormalities may not be visible on an ultrasound. Abnormalities will always be notified to you. We do need your permission for this.
All medical ultrasounds which are requested by a midwife, will be compensated by your health insurance company.
If the ultrasound is made before being 13 weeks pregnant, do not pee in the last 2 hours beforehand. This ensures that your bladder is well filled. It's not necessary to drink more than usual. Ultrasound images are better visible if you don't use bodylotion or showercream on your belly from two days in advance of the ultrasound.
A transducer - some kind of camera - is placed against your belly. Sound waves are used to create images of the internal structures of the human body. This makes it possible to see the baby in the womb. This examination will not cause any discomfort.
Ultrasounds which are made very early in the pregnancy are almost always internal, through the vagina.
No. An ultrasound is an medical examination. If abnormalities are being seen, we can immediately respond to your questions and provide you with an explanation for a treatment- or accompanimentplan.
We aks you to come together with your partner. We do understand that it's great to look at your unborn child. However, the ultrasounds we request do have a medical reason.
