Very early fetal scan
The very early fetal scan is performed using a transvaginal probe. It is recommended to come to the scan with empty urinary bladder.
The very early fetal scan is carried out whose pregnancy has lasted at least 10 full weeks (10 weeks + 0 days). If you want to know the duration of your pregnancy, please visit our pregnancy calendar.
This ultrasound examination in combination with the NIPT test is the most accurate prenatal screening test for detecting children's chromosomal disorders. The purpose of the scan is to specify the size of the pregnancy, to assess the possibility of a twin pregnancy and its type, and to exclude situations in which the NIPT test should not be carried out. As the NIPT test cannot detect the structural-developmental disorders of the child, the purpose of the very early fetal developmental disorder ultrasound examination is to exclude 10 severe developmental disorders of the child.
