A pregnancy scan is an ultrasound examination that uses sound waves to look at your baby's development and wellbeing. At The Blessed Womb, scans are offered at different stages of pregnancy as clinically indicated by Dr. Jyoti Gupta, who holds a postgraduate diploma in ultrasound (PGDUS), alongside general gynaecological and abdominal ultrasound.
Scans and ultrasound we offer
- Pregnancy (obstetric) ultrasound at different stages of pregnancy
- Abdominal and pelvic sonography
- Gynaecological ultrasound for women's health concerns
- Doppler studies where indicated (see our Doppler service)
Pregnancy scan timeline: when scans are commonly done
Scans are offered as clinically indicated by Dr. Jyoti Gupta — commonly around 7, 13, 20, 32 and 37 weeks. These are indicated scans, not a fixed schedule: the plan for your pregnancy is decided during your consultation, and some pregnancies need more or fewer scans. In general terms:
- Around 7 weeks — an early scan to confirm the pregnancy, its location and dating
- Around 11–13 weeks — the NT scan, an early look at development and an early screening measurement
- Around 18–22 weeks — the anomaly scan, a detailed check of your baby's structure
- From the third trimester — growth scans (commonly around 32 and 37 weeks), with Doppler when indicated

What a scan is used for
- Confirming the pregnancy and checking gestational age and due date
- Looking at your baby's development and structure
- Tracking your baby's growth as pregnancy progresses
- Checking the baby's position, heartbeat and the amniotic fluid
- Assessing the pelvic organs when you have gynaecological symptoms
What to expect at your scan
A scan is non-invasive and generally painless. A gel is applied to your abdomen and a probe is moved over it; in early pregnancy or for some gynaecological scans, a different technique may be advised. Your doctor will explain what was seen and what, if anything, comes next. Instructions such as whether to arrive with a full bladder depend on the type of scan, and we will tell you when you book.
Your first visit
