Ultrasound scans for pregnant women
The fetal anatomy scan is a crucial and comprehensive assessment of the baby’s body and organ development. It helps identify possible developmental abnormalities and structural defects
Ultrasound Examination at 11–13 Weeks of Pregnancy
Ultrasound Examination at 11–13 Weeks of Pregnancy Includes:
- Measurement of nuchal translucency
- Visualization of fetal movements
- Measurement of the fetus
- Visualization of the fetal heartbeat
- Visualization of limbs
- Determination of the placenta’s position
- Measurement of amniotic fluid volume
- Visualization of the spine
- Basic fetal anatomy assessment
For more information, please contact the Elite Clinic reception.
Service providers:
The 11–13 week ultrasound examination is performed by Dr Deniss Sõritsa, Dr Mare Riive, Dr Svetlana Räim, and Dr Andrei Sõritsa, all of whom hold a valid FMF (Fetal Medicine Foundation) license.
Ultrasound Examination at 19–20 Weeks of Pregnancy
The fetal anatomy scan is a crucial and comprehensive assessment of the baby’s body and organ development. It helps identify possible developmental abnormalities and structural defects, and if necessary, allows for further testing and planning of care.
The Ultrasound Includes:
- Fetal anatomical assessment
- Visualization of fetal movements
- Fetal measurements
- Visualization of fetal heartbeat and heart rate measurement
- Visualization of limbs
- Placenta location determination
- Amniotic fluid level assessment
- Spinal cord visualization
- Determining the baby’s position
- Visualization of the baby’s sex
Please note: Not all existing fetal abnormalities can be detected during the 19–21 week scan. Even if no immediate medical indication arises after 21 weeks, we recommend all pregnant women undergo additional follow-up scans between: * Weeks 24–27 , to assess overall fetal development, internal organs, and organ function (this is also the ideal time for a 3D–4D ultrasound – [INSERT ACTIVE LINK] – which can help detect subtle anomalies such as cleft palate, limb malformations, or heart defects)
Even if both first and second trimester scans show low risk for fetal anomalies, it is important to understand that they do not guarantee the birth of a completely healthy baby. Some conditions can only be detected in the third trimester, and others may not be diagnosed until after birth.

Ultrasound Examination from 36 Weeks of Pregnancy Onwards
A third-trimester ultrasound plays a key role in assessing the baby’s growth, position, and well-being — helping both the expectant mother and healthcare provider prepare for birth.
The Ultrasound Includes:
- Assessment of the baby’s position
- Estimated fetal weight (birth weight prediction)
- Measurement of amniotic fluid volume (AFI – Amniotic Fluid Index)
- Umbilical cord Doppler ultrasound (assesses oxygen and nutrient supply to the baby)
- Visualization of fetal heartbeat and heart rate measurement
- Observation of fetal movements
- Visualization of limbs and spine
- Placenta location assessment
Elite Clinic recommends a pre-delivery ultrasound, as it provides crucial information on possible fetal abnormalities, low birth weight, changes in umbilical blood flow and abnormal levels of amniotic fluid.
This examination helps determine whether intervention (e.g., labor induction) may be needed.
It also offers early insight into whether the baby might require surgery or special care after birth, allowing for appropriate planning before labor begins.
Additionally, the scan helps evaluate if the delivery should take place in a Level III (highest level) medical facility. If a fetal abnormality is detected, early decisions can be made regarding the mode of delivery and postnatal treatment, ensuring the best possible care pathway.
