11–13 Week Early Anatomy Scan

A vital milestone in your first trimester. Combining detailed early structural checks with crucial chromosomal screening markers.

Secure Your 12-Week Scan

The First Detailed Health Check

The 12-week scan is a major milestone. By this stage, your baby is fully formed, and we can conduct a detailed survey of their early anatomy. This appointment is often coordinated with First Trimester Combined Screening or Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) blood tests.

Comprehensive Assessments Include:

  • Nuchal Translucency (NT): Measuring the fluid at the back of the baby’s neck.

  • Structural Checks: Examining the developing brain, heart, stomach, bladder, abdominal wall, and limbs.

  • Nasal Bone: Checking for the presence of the nasal bone, another important chromosomal marker.

  • Maternal Health: Assessing the uterus, ovaries, and measuring uterine artery blood flow to screen for early risks of preeclampsia.

What to Expect:

This is an external, transabdominal scan. Please arrive with a moderately full bladder to help optimize the image clarity. We allocate plenty of time to ensure we capture all the necessary clinical measurements while allowing you to enjoy watching your baby move.

A painting and drawing hybrid illustration showing a pregnant woman on the left lying on an examination bed and holding an ultrasound wand to her lower abdomen. Wavy, dark purple leaf-like shapes containing small cell-like patterns flow from the ultrasound wand toward a large computer monitor on the right. The monitor displays a large, detailed drawing of a fetus in profile, with a dotted line and the letters "NT" pointing to the back of its neck. Surrounding the fetus on the screen are smaller anatomical diagrams: a pair of chromosomes, a heart, a cross-section of a head showing the brain, a diagram of the central nervous system, and detailed sketches of a baby's hand and foot. The background features a window with a view of a garden, a potted plant, and two patterned vases.
