The first ultrasound examination during pregnancy is usually performed as part of early screening between the 6th and 11th week of pregnancy. The first ultrasound is usually carried out by the gynecologist.
The first ultrasound examination is primarily used to confirm the viability and location of the pregnancy. It is also performed to determine whether it is a single or multiple pregnancy and to rule out ectopic pregnancies.
From the 6th week, the gestational sac can be seen in the uterus. From the 7th week of pregnancy, the heartbeat is visible on ultrasound.
The first ultrasound is not always vaginal. Between the 6th and 9th week of pregnancy, the ultrasound is usually performed vaginally, as visibility is better at this stage. From the 10th week onwards, early screening is often sufficient through the abdominal wall.
