Why Choose UltraVision Imaging for Your Pregnancy Ultrasound?

What to Expect During Your OB-GYN Ultrasound

If this is your first pregnancy ultrasound, you may wonder what happens during the appointment. Here is a step-by-step overview so you know exactly what to expect.

1. Check-in & Prep. After a quick check-in, our sonographer will review your referral and explain the type of scan ordered. Depending on your stage of pregnancy, you may be asked to have a full bladder for better image quality — especially for first-trimester transabdominal scans.
2. The Scan. You will lie comfortably on an exam table. For a transabdominal ultrasound, a warm gel is applied to your lower abdomen, and the sonographer glides a transducer over your skin to capture images. For early pregnancy (before 10–12 weeks), a transvaginal scan may be recommended — this uses a slim, lubricated wand and often provides clearer detail of the developing embryo.
3. Image Review. The sonographer captures a series of images and measurements, including fetal heart rate, crown-rump length, amniotic fluid levels, and placental location. The entire imaging session typically takes 20 to 30 minutes.
4. After the Scan. The sonographer does not provide diagnostic results during the exam — that is done by a board-certified radiologist. Your report is sent directly to your OB-GYN or midwife, who will discuss the findings with you at your next visit.

Who Should Get a Pregnancy Ultrasound?

Pregnancy ultrasounds are a routine part of prenatal care and are recommended for every expectant mother. Your OB-GYN or midwife may order an ultrasound for a variety of reasons:

• Confirming pregnancy — detecting the gestational sac and fetal heartbeat as early as 6–8 weeks.
• Dating the pregnancy — establishing an accurate due date based on fetal measurements.
• Assessing fetal growth — monitoring size, weight, and development in the second and third trimesters.
• Anatomy scan (18–22 weeks) — a detailed survey of the baby’s organs, limbs, and structures.
• Placental location — checking for conditions like placenta previa.
• Multiple pregnancies — confirming and monitoring twins or triplets.
• Amniotic fluid evaluation — measuring fluid levels to ensure a healthy environment for the baby.

If you are experiencing symptoms such as bleeding, severe cramping, or decreased fetal movement, your provider may also order an urgent ultrasound. Always follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations — early detection can make a meaningful difference.

How to Prepare for Your Ultrasound Appointment

Proper preparation helps ensure the best possible images and a smooth experience. Here are our top tips:

• Check your referral. Bring your prescription or referral form from your OB-GYN, midwife, or primary care provider.
• Bladder preparation. For a transabdominal scan in the first trimester, you may be asked to drink 24–32 ounces of water one hour before your appointment and avoid emptying your bladder. For transvaginal scans, an empty bladder is preferred — your provider will give specific instructions.
• Dress comfortably. Wear a two-piece outfit (separate top and bottom) so your lower abdomen is easily accessible. Leave jewelry at home if possible.
• Bring a support person. You are welcome to bring your partner, a family member, or a friend for comfort and support.
• Arrive a few minutes early. This gives you time to complete any paperwork and relax before your scan.
• Bring your insurance card and ID. We will verify your coverage and answer any billing questions before the exam.

If you have any questions about preparation, do not hesitate to call our Davis office. Our team is happy to provide personalized guidance based on the type of scan your provider has ordered.
