Early Pregnancy Scans for Reassurance
In addition to the initial ultrasound, additional scans may be required during the first trimester to monitor the embryo’s development, particularly in high-risk situations or when symptoms such as bleeding or abdominal pain occur.
How is Early Obstetric performed?
The early obstetric ultrasound is usually performed transvaginally, allowing a more detailed view of the embryo in the first weeks of pregnancy. The procedure is safe and minimally uncomfortable, with a qualified professional ensuring a trusted and respectful environment.
This initial exam is essential for safe and informative follow-up, promoting a healthy pregnancy and well-being for both mother and baby.
