Our sonographers are trained to the highest standards to perform these specialist measurements of you and your baby. Traditional chromosomal abnormalities such as Down’s Syndrome continue to be assessed. We are currently the only practice in Tasmania that does this. We offer the most sensitive and comprehensive risk assessment for your baby between 12.5-13.6 weeks which includes pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction. Why is a 12-14 weeks scan different at Women’s Imaging? We like to scan you between 12.5 and 13.6 weeks of pregnancy. Your doctor will organise a form for you. Ideally you should have your 1st Trimester bloods/ Maternal Serum done at 11 weeks gestation. You will need to have a blood test done before coming to Women’s Imaging for your ultrasound scan. What do I need to do to have a risk assessment for my baby? Sound waves are used instead of radiation which makes them safe. Please let reception know at the time of booking.Īn ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of your body and baby. You have the option of getting the results of the scan on the day by our consultant. We are able to take some important measurements which allows us to give you an accurate risk assessment for your baby. You will be able to see all of your developing baby If this is extremely painful please let us know.
