Extra free early ultrasound upon registration

During the course of your pregnancy there are several times when we perform ultrasounds to carefully monitor the health and development of your baby. Normally you get the first ultrasound at 10 weeks of pregnancy, but we can imagine that that is a long time to wait. Especially if you have been pregnant in the past and something went wrong, or if you suffer from bleeding, for example. With us, you will therefore immediately receive an early ultrasound scan between 6-7 weeks when you register, even if you have no bleeding. Normally, this early ultrasound is only reimbursed by your health insurer if you have blood loss or a history of miscarriage. However, we think it is important that everyone gets an early ultrasound without paying for it. That is why we reimburse your early ultrasound if you have no blood loss or have not had a miscarriage in the past. So you only have to register if you are pregnant and we will make the appointment for you at the ultrasound center.

Standard Echoes

Besides the early ones echo You will receive the following ultrasound scans as standard during your pregnancy:

  • Term echo: Approximately around the 10th week of your pregnancy we perform a term ultrasound to determine the expected date of birth. This date is essential for the further course of your pregnancy, including your maternity leave. Moreover, we confirm the number of babies.

  • 13-week ultrasound (optional): If you wish, you can have an ultrasound done around the 13th week to screen for physical abnormalities in your baby. Although the baby is still small, larger abnormalities can sometimes be made visible.

  • 20-week ultrasound (optional): The 20-week ultrasound, also known as the structural ultrasound examination (SEO), is performed around the 20th week and is reimbursed by your health insurance. This ultrasound examines organ development, growth and amount of amniotic fluid, and offers a reliable method for detecting serious congenital abnormalities.

Ultrasounds on Indication

In addition to the standard ultrasounds, there are situations in which additional ultrasounds may be necessary:

  • Growth echo: During pregnancy, a growth check can be performed to check whether your baby is developing as expected. We measure the head, abdominal circumference, leg length and assess the amount of amniotic fluid.
  • Location ultrasound: Around the 35th week we perform a position ultrasound if there are any doubts about the position of your baby. This is important to determine whether the baby is head down for a vaginal delivery. We also check the position of the placenta to ensure that it is not in front of the cervix.
