Complete Ultrasound Guide
When, Why & What to Expect
Every pregnancy ultrasound scan explained in full — purpose, what the sonographer checks, what you will see, and how to prepare. Verified against ACOG and RCOG guidelines.
📋 Note: Scans marked "Recommended for ALL" are standard antenatal care. "Optional" or "Indicated" scans are offered based on your individual risk factors. Your midwife or obstetrician will advise which scans are right for you.
