I had 4 ultrasounds when pregnant. I was a patient at NUH, and these were the 4 major scans I went for. According to the article, the first ultrasound is best done within the first 12 weeks. 1. 6 weeks Dating Scan To confirm the presence of yolk sac, fetus and heartbeat 2. 12 week Nuchal Translucency Screen Scan Mostly to test for Down Syndrome 3. 22 week Fetal Anomaly Scan To test for fetal defects 4. 32 week Growth Scan To estimate the weight and size of the fetus. http://www.nuhgynae.com.sg/wbn/slot/u2349/Articles/Ultrasonography.pdf

During your routine checkup at NUH, does the gynae do ultrasound for you to see the progress of the baby? Cos I saw in their website, they indicated that the antenatal package includes 2 ultrasound on 22nd and 32nd weeks. So I’m wondering if ultrasound is performed during the usually checkups. Thanks!
