Early Pregnancy

Overview

During the early stages of pregnancy, it is crucial to monitor the growth and well-being of the new life forming inside you. This is done through an early pregnancy scan, also known as a viability or dating scan. During this scan, your doctor will confirm the pregnancy, determine the estimated due date, and provide you with more precise information about your pregnancy. Our team of doctors will support and guide you throughout the entire pregnancy journey.

By the sixth week of pregnancy, your baby will have grown to the size of a pea. This is an exciting time as the eyes and ears begin to develop, and the baby's heartbeat can be detected at a rate of 100-160 beats per minute. While symptoms like morning sickness, mood swings, and frequent urination may indicate a healthy pregnancy, it is essential to consult with your healthcare specialist to ensure everything is progressing well.

What is the purpose of Early Pregnancy Scans?

Early pregnancy scans are typically performed between the 7th and 12th week of pregnancy to ensure the normal growth of the baby. These scans are recommended for women who suspect they may be pregnant, especially if they have been experiencing pain or bleeding. The scans serve multiple purposes, including confirming the pregnancy, determining the exact conception date, and monitoring the overall health of the developing baby.

There are several reasons why early pregnancy scans are conducted.

These scans help to determine the following:

• 1. The number of embryos present, whether it is a single pregnancy or multiple pregnancies.
• 2. The viability of the pregnancy, ensuring that it is developing normally.
• 3. The presence of a heartbeat, which is a positive sign indicating a healthy pregnancy.
• 4. The gestation of the pregnancy, determining the number of weeks by measuring the size of the pregnancy sac or the embryo.
• 5. The overall health of the pregnancy, ruling out the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy and ensuring that the pregnancy sac is located within the uterus.
• 6. The presence of any internal bleeding, which can be detected through the scan.
Early pregnancy scans play a crucial role in providing important information about the progress and well-being of the pregnancy.

Early pregnancy scans can be conducted in two ways: transabdominally or transvaginally.

Transabdominal scans are typically performed between 7-11 weeks of pregnancy and involve placing a hand-held device over the abdomen after applying gel. This allows the sonographer to capture images of the baby. In some cases, if the images are not clear, a transvaginal scan may be recommended.

During a transvaginal scan, a vaginal transducer is inserted comfortably into the vagina after lubrication. This allows the sonographer to obtain clearer images by bouncing sound waves off the internal organs and capturing pictures of the pelvis on a monitor. These scans, also known as ultrasound scans, are carried out by highly qualified professionals (sonographers) in a hospital setting. Prior to the scan, the sonographer may ask you to drink water to ensure a better view of the baby by filling the bladder, which helps the ultrasound echoes reach the womb.

Initial trimester/NT specifics

Early Pregnancy/Viability scan: This type of scan is crucial since it determines the due date and verifies the pregnancy. It is called a transabdominal scan, and it takes place between weeks 7 and 11 of pregnancy. It is done over the stomach. Additionally, it aids in determining the precise number of embryos, determining whether a heartbeat is present, and identifying any internal bleeding that may be present.

NT scan: An ultrasound known as a Nuchal Translucency (NT) Scan quantifies the volume of fluid gathered behind the skin at the nape of the baby's neck. Typically, it is carried out between weeks 11 and 14 of pregnancy. The NT scan is important because it aids in assessing the probability of Down syndrome.

Transvaginal scan (TVS): It is an internal examination in which the specialists insert an ultrasound probe of about 2-3 inches into the vaginal canal. This test is performed between 6-10 weeks of pregnancy and is extremely useful in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, cysts, fibroids, pelvic infection, etc.

Third-Trimester Analyses

Anomaly Scan: Also referred to as the mid-pregnancy scan, this examination is typically carried out between weeks 18 and 21 of pregnancy. The skilled medical staff at Marwar Zanana Hospital examines the placenta's position and the baby's growth during this scan. The baby's head, face, heart, stomach walls, kidneys, placenta, and amniotic fluid are all closely examined by the doctors to ensure that everything is developing normally. With an anomaly scan, a number of illnesses or ailments, such as cleft lip, brain traumas, etc., can be identified.

Growth scan: As the name suggests, this diagnostic scan is to check for the baby’s overall development. Parameters like the baby’s growth, weight, the quantity of amniotic fluid, the position of the placenta and so on are looked up in this scan. It is also a highly recommended procedure if you’ve had complications in previous pregnancies or if you have medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.

Third-Trimester Analyses

Interval Growth Scan: Usually carried out between weeks 28 and 32 of pregnancy, the interval growth scan is comparable to a growth scan. This scan examines the baby's biophysical profile, which includes breathing patterns, hand opening and shutting, and arm and leg stretches and flexes. The highly skilled team of professionals at Marwar Zanana Hospital has extensive expertise doing these tests and handling any abnormalities that may arise.

Term Scan: This last test to make sure the unborn child is healthy is performed at about 36 weeks of pregnancy. The exact location of the baby and the placenta are checked by the experts. A number of other health-related measures, such as the volume of amniotic fluid, are also measured. The infant is ready for delivery if all the medical conditions are met.

Mid Trimester Detail

What is a Mid-Trimester Scan?

The mid-trimester scan is usually carried out between 18 to 21 weeks of the gestational period. The scan is done to check for major physical abnormalities in the baby. It is also called an anomaly scan and it takes 2-D black-and-white image which only gives a side view of the baby. The image shows the baby’s face and hands. The main aim of the scan is to check that the baby is developing normally.

What problems does the scan look for?

This scan looks in detail at the baby’s bones, heart, brain, spinal cord, face, kidneys, and abdomen. The sonographer will look specifically for 11 conditions, some of which are:

• • Anencephaly
• • Split spina bifida
• • lip cleft
• • Hernia diaphragmatica
• • The Gastroschisis
• • Exomphalos
• • severe irregularities in the heart
• • Two-sided renal agenesis
• • fatal dysplasia of the skeleton
• • Patau's syndrome, also known as T13, Edwards syndrome, or T18

What takes place in the anomaly scan process?

Sonographers perform the scan in a poorly lit room. The sonographer applies gel to the abdomen and uses a probe to look around the baby's body. Although not painful, having a scan can be a little unpleasant. Usually, the scan takes half an hour. When you arrive for the appointment, you might need to be completely emptied of fluids.

Echo Fetal

Fetal echocardiography: What is it?

An ultrasound and fetal echocardiography are comparable. The purpose is to examine the anatomy and physiology of the developing foetus's heart. Usually, it is completed between 18 and 24 weeks during the second trimester.

The mother's belly is covered with a tiny probe known as a transducer, which transmits ultrasonic waves through both the mother's and the child's skin to the baby's cardiac tissues. The transducer picks up the waves after they bounce off the cardiac structures and delivers them to a computer. The echoes are transformed by the computer into a picture of the heart's valves and walls. The entire process takes thirty to two hours to complete.

When is it required to get a fetal echocardiogram?

Not every pregnant woman needs a fetal echocardiography. The doctor advises doing so if:

• • A congenital heart abnormality was present in a sibling at birth.
• • Congenital cardiac illness runs in the family.
• • The fetus has a genetic or chromosomal anomaly found in it.
• • It is well known that the mother drank enormous amounts of alcohol or drugs when she was pregnant.
• • The mother contracted rubella while expecting.
• • The mother suffers from connective tissue illness, phenylketonuria, diabetes, or lupus.
• • Unusual prenatal ultrasounds have shown potential cardiac anomalies.

How is a fetal echocardiogram performed?

A paediatric cardiologist performs it with the use of a probe which is placed over the mother’s abdomen to visualise the fetal heart.

The technique used to obtain detailed information about the fetal heart includes the following:

2-D echocardiography: It is used to see the actual structures and motions of the heart.

Doppler echocardiography: It is used to measure the speed of blood flow through the heart’s chambers and valves.

It can be performed in two ways – one through the abdomen, which is called abdominal echocardiography, and the other through the vagina, which is called transvaginal echocardiography.
