Three ultrasounds are recommended for a normal pregnancy with no obstetric risks.
Ideally, these tests are performed at 12, 22, and 32 weeks of amenorrhea.
First-Trimester Ultrasound
The first-trimester ultrasound must be performed between 11 and 14 weeks of amenorrhea (SA).
Outside of these dates, certain parameters can no longer be accurately assessed, such as nuchal translucency or the chorionicity of a multiple pregnancy, for example.
It allows you to determine:
- Gestational age and pregnancy dating (date of conception and gestational age) based on measurement of the embryo’s craniocaudal length
- The Stages of Pregnancy
- Determining the number of embryos and the possible type of multiple pregnancy (chorionicity and zygosity)
- Measuring the thickness of the fetal nuchal fold (the thickness of the «nuchal translucency» is correlated with the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities, particularly the risk of trisomy 21)
- Screening for certain fetal abnormalities: checking for the presence of the cephalic pole, four limbs, an intact abdominal wall, and the presence of a stomach and a bladder
- First-Trimester Ultrasound Abnormalities
This first-trimester ultrasound can therefore rule out:
- A missed pregnancy
- An ectopic pregnancy
- A light-colored egg
- A molar pregnancy
- A discrepancy between the theoretical gestational age and the ultrasound-estimated gestational age (a pregnancy that is more or less advanced than the expected gestational age)
- A malformation such as: anencephaly; omphalocele; laparoschisis; cervical hygroma.
Second-Trimester Ultrasound
It allows you to:
- To study the morphology of the fetus and its organs
- To check for any abnormalities
- To assess fetal growth and well-being
- To determine the location of the placenta.
Third-Trimester Ultrasound
It allows you to:
- To study the size, growth, and well-being of the fetus
- To estimate one's weight
- To identify any possible malformations
- To determine the location of the placenta
