Ultrasound is one of the screening tests that may be done in the first trimester to look for birth defects, such as Down syndrome. The first-trimester screening test uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of the skin at the back of the baby's neck.
First trimester ultrasound is performed in the first 3-4 months of a pregnancy. HOW IS THIS ULTRASOUND PERFORMED? Pregnancy ultrasounds are performed mainly using transabdominal ultrasound. For many women, especially after 8 weeks gestation, sufficient information about the baby may be obtained with transabdominal ultrasound only.
