In addition to the initial obstetric ultrasound, additional ultrasounds may be necessary during the first trimester to closely monitor the development of the embryo — especially in high-risk pregnancies or when symptoms such as bleeding or abdominal pain occur.

The procedure is safe, fast and minimally uncomfortable, conducted by a qualified professional who ensures a trusted and respectful environment throughout the exam. This follow-up ultrasound is essential for a safe and informed initial pregnancy monitoring, promoting reassurance and well-being for both the mother and the baby.Exam objective Confirms that the pregnancy is progressing normally and identifies any signs that require additional attention.When to schedule this ultrasound.
