What is a Dating Scan?
A dating scan, also called the 12-week scan, is an ultrasound scan done between 8 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. It measures the baby to help the doctor estimate how far along the pregnancy is and calculate the expected due date (EDD).
At Zenith Hospital, Nagpur, under the care of Dr. Manasi Thakur, the dating scan is performed with advanced ultrasound technology to ensure accuracy and reassurance for expecting parents.
Why is a Dating Scan Important?
A dating scan provides important information such as:
Accurate calculation of the baby’s due date (EDD)
Checking whether you are expecting more than one baby (twins, triplets, etc.)
Confirming that the baby is growing in the right place (inside the uterus)
Assessing the baby’s early development
Sometimes, it is combined with screening tests for conditions like Down’s syndrome
