When should I take an ultrasound? What are you looking for? Why go to a doctor? What kind of ultrasound can you offer? What can I as a pregnant woman come to Majorstua kvinneklinikk for?
We have extensive experience with ultrasound for pregnant women at all stages. Ultrasound is usually performed from week 5-6 and onwards. The picture below roughly shows the development of the fetus month by month in relation to the female body.
As the fetus grows, we will be able to both see and measure different things. To make it a little easier, we have divided the stages with what you can see when on ultrasound with us. As we have doctors who perform ultrasounds, they are also qualified to give you a medical examination of the fetus.
Our recommended times for ultrasound and types of scan:
- Week 6-11: Vitality scan
You can see that the fetus is alive, how far you are on the way and the number of fetuses. - Week 11 + 0-13 + 6: First trimester scan
Recommended around week 12. Here you look for chromosomal markers. - After week 15: Gender
Gender is best seen from week 15 + 0 - Week 23-24: Anomaly and heart scan
Check when organs are developed - Week 31-34: Wellness scan
Here you check, among other things, the baby’s size, rent, amniotic fluid volume, etc. - Week 34-36: Placenta function scan
Recommended for more adult pregnant women and risk groups, for example pregnant women with gestational diabetes, former smokers, etc. - Week 24-35: 3D and 4D ultrasound
After week 32, it can be more difficult to get good 3D images.
At Majorstua kvinneklinikk, we have state-of-the-art ultrasound machines, equipment and newly renovated premises. You can order ultrasound from all our doctors, and everyone have experience with ultrasound for pregnant women. Many people book an appointment with us if they experience discomfort, pain, anxiety, bleeding or other worrying causes. Many also come to find out how far they are on their way, how many fetuses there are, a first trimester scan (early ultrasound) or just for a regular check to see that everything is in order. Some also come just to look at the baby in the womb with a partner.
