Ultrascreen at 12 weeks?

They can check for normal development of body parts already. And they can get a fair idea of if there is Down Syndrome now just from ultrasound measurements (using measurements and calculations from certain body parts). The blood test will confirm it.

Typically, when you have an ultrasound early on, the main purpose is to accurately determine how far along you are...dates people give are often not accurate and this helps the doctor know where you are at in your pregnancy. I am amazed that the nurse or technician said anything to you at all about what she saw. Usually they don't say one word and leave the doctor to tell you everything. I would think the main thing at this point would be to see if the development of the baby is progressing on schedule. Ask these questions to your doctor and best of luck to you.

At 12 weeks they are checking if the fetal size corresponds to LMP. They are also checking for a regular heartbeat and for the sack. There is nothing else they can really do at this point. You will have a stream of bloodwork and other tests including another sonogram throughout your pg. All these tests are needed to determine the heath of the pregnancy as well as the health of the baby. So keep going to the appointments to improve the likelihood of a healthy baby!

Everything is probably fine but they can't tell on genetic disorders or anything serious right away because the baby is too small. At the 20 week ultrasound is when they really check for abnormalities. If they said everything is fine at 12 then good chances are nothing is seriously wrong or it would have caught their eye

actually ultrasounds that early can give more accurate due dates with in 3-5 day accuracy rather than the ones at 20 weeks which give a 6-7 day variance

properly i know that that is attainable to tell with ultrasound by utilizing sixteen weeks, it relatively is once I found out with my son.... and as for whilst the organs are formed... My grandma and that i've got been relatively having a communicate approximately that the day previous to this and he or she grew to become into telling me that she had had a miscarriage at 8 weeks one time and that as quickly as the nurse regarded at it she had reported "he could have been a huge boy" whilst my grandma asked how she might desire to tell they instructed her that it grew to become into between the 1st areas to style. so maybe they're merely not stated sufficient to tell on ultrasound until lots later.....

is she said everything looked good.

then every thing looked good.

sometimes there are problems and 12 weeks is to soon to tell.

but so far everything is good.

you should be happy, not nervous.

but i know how you feel, i'm always worried too lol.
