Dating Scan / 12 Week Scan: What should you expect?

Obstetric ultrasound, also known as prenatal or pregnancy ultrasound, uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of a developing embryo or fetus. Your doctor will use information from obstetric ultrasounds to track pregnancy progress, gestational age and help predict delivery dates. During an obstetric ultrasound, you will be on a bed, usually on your back. You may be asked to change position during your scan. Changing position helps move your organs and the fetus into a better position so the sonographer can capture high-quality images.

When do you get ultrasounds during pregnancy, and why are they usually done? Here's what expectant parents should know about these important prenatal scans.

These sound waves send signals back to a machine that converts them into images of your baby. Most pregnant people have only a couple of ultrasounds throughout their prenatal care, but some get them more frequently.
