Experienced Prenatal Imaging for Your Peace of Mind
An obstetric ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to help monitor fetal development and maternal health during pregnancy.
Our service will provide you with a comprehensive and detailed diagnosis based upon years of experience from working in busy obstetric tertiary referral hospitals. Our team has a sound knowledge of many fetal and placental abnormalities with experience in recognising even the more subtle or less common abnormalities. Our visiting Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist and Fetal Cardiologist both affiliated with the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, can assist in prompt and efficient counselling and management during the pregnancy.
We provide
second-opinion scans
We provide comprehensive ultrasound assessment for pregnancies requiring increased surveillance, including high-risk cases and second-opinion scans when greater diagnostic clarity is needed. All appointments are conducted in a calm, supportive environment, with a strong focus on diagnostic accuracy, clear communication, and continuity of care throughout your pregnancy journey.

Early Pregnancy Care
Obstetric ultrasounds can help:
- Establish due dates
- 1st trimester viability
- Check for a multiple pregnancy
- Miscarriage
- Vaginal bleeding +/- lower abdominal pain
- Ectopic Pregnancy
Pregnancy Care
- First trimester ultrasound for nuchal translucency measurement, early anatomy assessment and screening for pre-eclampsia if requested.
- Early fetal morphology scans (15-18wks) for early assessment in high risk pregnancies.
- Routine screening for fetal abnormalities and second opinion scans in pregnancies with an already detected abnormality.
- Providing a comprehensive assessment on growth trend in the third trimester including close monitoring of fetal growth restriction.
- 3D Ultrasound in pregnancy – aids in obtaining extra information in facial abnormalities/deformities, limb or hand/feet abnormalities and assessment for cleft palate if indicated.

What Should I Expect
From My Obstetric Ultrasound?
Obstetric ultrasound may be used at various stages of the pregnancy. Generally most obstetric scans are performed externally via the abdomen. In the early stages or for cervical length measurements, an internal transvaginal ultrasound may be performed.
Early in the pregnancy, ultrasounds are performed to establish due dates, check for multiple pregnancies and assess whether the pregnancy is progressing normally.
The nuchal translucency ultrasound is performed in the first trimester often in conjunction with bloods +/- NIPT screening. This scan incorporates an early anatomy assessment for major structural abnormalities and includes a nuchal translucency measurement (assessment of the amount of fluid in the skin at the back of baby’s neck).
These scans are best performed between 12+4 and 13+6 weeks. If requested, maternal blood pressure will be obtained for calculation of pre-eclampsia risk in the pregnancy.
The 20 week morphology scan is an important and detailed ultrasound which is performed to screen for a wide range of structural fetal and placental abnormalities. This scan can take up to an hour. Occasionally, the baby may not be in an appropriate position for optimum imaging and you may be asked to go for a walk or return at another time.
Later in the pregnancy, in the third trimester, ultrasounds are performed to monitor growth, assess placental position or other parameters that give information about the wellbeing of the baby.
How Should I Prepare for My Ultrasound?
A full bladder will be required for the Nuchal Translucency Ultrasound and 20 week Morphology Ultrasound. You will be asked to drink 500ml of water at least 1 hour before your examination and then not to empty your bladder before your scan. No preparation is required for scans in the third trimester.
