Mid/Late Pregnancy In mid pregnancy ultrasound is used to visualize basic anatomical features of the baby. In late pregnancy the most common reason to have an ultrasound scan is to check foetal (baby) growth and well-being, or to check the position of the baby and the placenta prior to delivery.

Preparation for mid and late pregnancy scan: (15 weeks onward) Preparation for mid and late pregnancy scan: (15 weeks onward) No special preparation is needed for the scan. You are welcome to bring a support person with you to share in the experience but the ultrasound room will only accommodate a small number of people.

Following your scan At the end of the scan the images are saved and then viewed by a Consultant Radiologist. After making payment at reception you will (in most instances) be provided with a CD containing your scan images. This CD is for YOUR RECORDS. A typed report will be sent to the person that referred you for your scan. This normally occurs within 24 hours but it is often sooner, dependent upon how the referrer prefers to receive their reports. However if your scan was done urgently a radiologist can make contact directly with the person that referred you to pass on a preliminary report of the findings.
