What to Expect During Your OB-GYN Ultrasound Appointment

If this is your first pregnancy ultrasound, you may wonder what happens during the exam. Here is a step-by-step overview so you know exactly what to expect when you visit our Sacramento imaging center.

Before the Scan

Depending on how far along you are, your provider may ask you to arrive with a comfortably full bladder — this helps lift the uterus for better transabdominal images, especially in the first trimester. Wear loose, two-piece clothing so you can easily access your lower abdomen. Plan to arrive 15 minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork.

During the Scan

You will lie on a padded exam table while our sonographer applies a warm, water-based gel to your lower abdomen. Using a handheld transducer, they will gently glide it across your skin to capture real-time images of your baby. The gel may feel cool at first, but it warms quickly. For very early pregnancies (typically before 10–12 weeks), a transvaginal ultrasound may be recommended — this provides clearer images of the gestational sac and embryo. Our sonographer will explain everything beforehand and ensure you are comfortable throughout.

After the Scan

Once the images are captured, you can wipe off any remaining gel and dress. The entire exam usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Your images will be reviewed by a board-certified radiologist, and a detailed report will be sent directly to your referring physician — typically within 24 hours. You will then discuss the results with your OB-GYN or midwife at your next prenatal visit.

Types of Pregnancy Ultrasounds We Offer

• Early / Viability Scan (6–10 weeks): Confirms intrauterine pregnancy, detects fetal heartbeat, and establishes gestational age.
• Nuchal Translucency (11–14 weeks): Assesses risk for chromosomal abnormalities as part of first-trimester screening.
• Anatomy Scan (18–22 weeks): A detailed survey of fetal organs, limbs, spine, and placenta — often the most anticipated scan for parents.
• Growth / Third-Trimester Scan (28–40 weeks): Monitors fetal size, amniotic fluid levels, and placental position.
• Specialized OB Consultations: For high-risk pregnancies requiring closer surveillance, including Doppler studies of umbilical and uterine arteries.

Who Should Get a Pregnancy Ultrasound?

Pregnancy ultrasound is a routine part of prenatal care, but certain situations make it especially important. You may benefit from an OB-GYN ultrasound at our Sacramento center if you:

• Have a positive pregnancy test and need confirmation of gestational age and due date.
• Are experiencing symptoms such as bleeding, pelvic pain, or cramping — early ultrasound can help rule out ectopic pregnancy or other concerns.
• Have a high-risk pregnancy due to maternal age (over 35), pre-existing conditions (diabetes, hypertension), or a history of pregnancy complications.
• Are carrying multiples (twins, triplets) and require more frequent growth monitoring.
• Have not felt fetal movement as expected in the third trimester, or your provider suspects issues with fetal growth or amniotic fluid levels.
• Need a routine anatomy scan around 20 weeks to assess fetal development and check the placenta and umbilical cord.
• Are planning a procedure such as amniocentesis or cervical length assessment that requires ultrasound guidance.

If you are unsure whether an ultrasound is right for you, talk to your OB-GYN or midwife. They will determine the appropriate timing and type of scan based on your individual health profile and pregnancy history.

About Sacramento — California’s Capital City

Sacramento is more than just the seat of California government — it is a vibrant, diverse, and family-friendly city with a rich history and a bright future. With a population of over 538,000 residents and a metropolitan area exceeding 1.6 million, Sacramento is one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse cities in the United States. Approximately 29% of residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, 20% as Asian, and 12% as Black or African American, creating a wonderfully multicultural community that we are proud to serve.

The city is anchored by world-class medical institutions, including UC Davis Medical Center (ranked #1 in the Sacramento region), Sutter Medical Center-Sacramento, Kaiser Permanente Sacramento Medical Center, and Mercy General Hospital. These facilities draw top specialists in maternal-fetal medicine, radiology, and obstetrics, ensuring that Sacramento families have access to exceptional prenatal care.

Sacramento’s neighborhoods each offer their own character. Midtown buzzes with arts, dining, and entertainment. East Sacramento is known for its tree-lined streets and the historic “Fabulous Forties.” Land Park offers quiet residential charm around William Land Park, home to the Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale Town. Natomas, north of the American River, features modern suburban living with abundant parks and trails. Pocket-Greenhaven, a peaceful river-bend community south of downtown, is beloved for its low crime and family-friendly atmosphere. No matter where you call home in Sacramento, our 95814 imaging center is just a short drive away.

How to Prepare for Your Pregnancy Ultrasound

A little preparation goes a long way toward a smooth, successful ultrasound appointment. Follow these simple guidelines:

• Check with your provider: Your OB-GYN or midwife may give specific instructions based on the type of scan. Always follow their advice first.
• Hydrate wisely: For first-trimester transabdominal scans, you may be asked to drink 24–32 ounces of water about an hour before your appointment and avoid emptying your bladder until after the exam. A full bladder acts as an acoustic window to see the uterus clearly.
• Dress comfortably: Wear a two-piece outfit (top and pants or a skirt) so your lower abdomen can be easily exposed without needing to undress fully.
• Bring your referral and ID: Have your physician’s order, insurance card, and a photo ID ready when you check in.
• Arrive early: Give yourself 15 extra minutes to park, check in, and complete any forms. Our center is located in downtown Sacramento with nearby parking garages and street parking options.
• Bring a support person: You are welcome to bring your partner, a family member, or a friend for comfort and support during the scan.
• Write down questions: If you have concerns about the procedure, results, or your pregnancy in general, jot them down so you can discuss them with your doctor after the scan.
