What can I expect to see during this ultrasound?

The ultrasound technician will be able to provide a detailed image of your baby, including facial features such as eyes, nose, lips and ears that are already developed. In addition, an assessment can be made of the internal organs such as the heart and lungs.

How long does the procedure take?

Typically an ultrasound takes 20-30 minutes to complete.

Is it safe for my baby?

Ultrasounds are considered to be completely safe for both mother and baby. There is no radiation associated with ultrasounds so there are no risks involved in having one done.

What preparation is needed before having an ultrasound?

No preparation is necessary in order for you to have an ultrasound; however, if you would like a better view of your baby’s internal organs then drinking water before the procedure can help fill up the bladder which can improve visibility during the scan.

When will I get results from this scan?

You should receive results immediately after the scan or within 48 hours afterwards.

Conclusion:
A 23 week ultrasound provides parents with a chance to have a first glimpse at their unborn baby and gain reassurance that their child is developing normally at this stage of pregnancy. It also allows doctors to monitor any potential health issues so that they can be addressed early on if necessary.
