12-14 Week Dating Scan FAQ's
1. What is a 12–14 Week Dating Scan?
A dating scan is performed to accurately determine how many weeks pregnant you are. By measuring the baby from head to bottom (crown–rump length), we can confirm your estimated due date with greater precision. Correct dating is important for scheduling routine maternity appointments, planning screening tests at the appropriate time, and monitoring your baby’s wellbeing throughout pregnancy.
3. Is this scan safe?
Yes, ultrasound is a safe and non-invasive method for assessing fetal development. It uses sound waves to create images and does not involve any radiation.
