Sonogram at 4 weeks
A multiple pregnancy including twins, triplets etc, may include a single gestational sac with two embryos within, or two gestational sacs with an embryo in each. A single pregnancy has one gestational sac with a single embryo inside. The number of gestational sacs is counted, as well as the number of embryos in each sac. The Sonographer will do a quick survey scan to confirm the gestational sac with the embryo is in the uterus, and will confirm a heartbeat is seen. These reasons are important when confirming the gestational age of your embryo. This information helps such as if you were breastfeeding at time of conception, recently stopped using the oral contraceptive pill, and if there has been any bleeding or spotting. Please don’t hesitate to let the Sonographer know if there is any other information relevant to your pregnancy.

As soon as I see a heartbeat I silently start breathing with relief and let them know that a heartbeat is seen. Each time I walk a patient into my scanning room, my fingers and toes are crossed quietly praying all will be well for my lovely patient. I can assure you, the Sonographer is feeling exactly the same way. From excitement, to worry, hoping everything is ok. Walking into the ultrasound room, you will be full of mixed emotions. Congratulations, you have found out you are pregnant, and the first scan in your pregnancy should be an exciting time.
