Our team of experienced healthcare professionals are dedicated to making your pregnancy journey as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Preparation is to 4-6 glasses of water to be finished one hour before exam time. Early OB includes up to 14-week gestation. The exam is used to:
- establish the presence of a living embryo/fetus
- estimate the age of the pregnancy by measuring the embryo/fetus
- evaluate the position of the fetus
- determine if there are multiple pregnancies
- assess the ovaries and tubes
Preparation requires drinking 4-6 glasses of water, to be finished one hour before the appointment time. The NT scan measures the fluid at the back of a baby’s neck when the fetal crown-rump length (CRL) is between 45mm and 84mm (approximately 11 ̶ 14 weeks gestation). The ultrasound itself will take about 20 minutes to perform. During the scan, the technologist will:
- Confirms the dates and measurements of your pregnancy
- It detects pregnancies with more than one baby and determines whether the babies have the same placenta or not
- It provides an initial assessment of the anatomy that is visible, as some birth defects can be detected at this stage
- Given that many problems cannot be detected at this stage, an ultrasound at 18-20 weeks is recommended and can be arranged by your health care provider
Done between 18-20 weeks gestation. Prepare by drinking 2-3 glasses of water, to be finished one hour before appointment time. The exam will take approximately 40-60 minutes. This includes:
- full anatomical survey of fetus
- measurement of fetal size according to age
- position of baby
- diagnose certain congenital abnormalities
- evaluate the position of the placenta and its cord insertion
- determine the amount of amniotic fluid
- check for opening or shortening of the cervix
Done after 28 weeks of pregnancy. No preparation required. The ultrasound will last approximately 30 minutes. In the exam, the tech will:
- Assess fetal growth
- Assess fetal wellbeing (including movements, muscle tone, breathing, and fluid level)
- Measure amniotic fluid
- Confirm placental location
- Position of baby
Common indications for a BPP:
- decrease in the fetus’s movements
- Previous stillbirth or other negative pregnancy outcomes
- Expecting multiples
- Pregnancy-related hypertension (high blood pressure) or preeclampsia
- Possible intrauterine growth restriction
- Diabetes
- Increased or decreased amniotic fluid
- You’re Rh negative
- You’re 35 or older at the time of delivery
- You have obesity (a body mass index, or BMI, of 30 or higher)
- Or other

- Uterus
- Endometrium (uterine lining)
- Fallopian tubes
- Ovaries
*Includes an external abdominal exam and an internal transvaginal exam (unless contraindicated)
The pelvic ultrasound will be used to:
- Assess the size, shape, and position of the uterus and ovaries
- Measure thickness, echogenicity, and presence of fluids or masses in the endometrium, myometrium, fallopian tubes, or in or near the bladder
- Measure the length and thickness of the cervix
- Assess abnormalities in the anatomic structure of the uterus, including endometrial conditions
- Assess fibroid tumours (benign growths), masses, cysts, and other types of tumours within the pelvis
- Help diagnose conditions such as endometriosis and others
A few common indications for a pelvic ultrasound include:
- pelvic pain
- irregular periods
- irregular vaginal bleeding
- Presence and position of an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD)
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and other types of inflammation or infection
- Ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy occurring outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube)
