This scan is an ultrasound check to set the calculated date more precisely.<\/p>\n<p>To be able to support you properly during your pregnancy, it is important for us to know if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>you have (or have had) any medical conditions that affect e.g. your heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, intestines or thyroid.<\/li>\n<li>you take any medication. Bring details of your medication and the dosage with you.<\/li>\n<li>you have any habits that could create risks for your pregnancy (smoking, consuming alcohol or drugs).<\/li>\n<li>there are any (hereditary) diseases or (birth) defects in your family or that of your partner;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During this checkup we also measure your blood pressure and weigh you, and of course answer any questions you may have.

We plan in some extra time during the appointments to talk about the birth and how you want it to be. in addition, we also do the following (routine) checks: take your blood pressure, weigh you, measure the increase in size of your womb, and listen to your baby&#8217;s heartbeat. These checks will be repeated at each of the follow-up check-ups. We carry out ultrasound scans when medically necessary as part of your care plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The number of weeks between check-ups will reduce as you advance through your pregnancy.

This is a national study in the Netherlands. The 13-week check consists of a medical ultrasound scan for physical defects. At 13 weeks a child is smaller and less well developed than at the 20-week ultrasound. Many defects would not yet be visible. But some serious defects can be detected. No check is made on the baby's gender. If you opt for a 13-week ultrasound scan you can be included in the study. The aim of the study is to see whether the benefits of a 13-week ultrasound scan outweigh its disadvantages.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-arrow\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"timeline-item__point\"><div class=\"timeline-item__point-content timeline-item__point-content--icon\"><span class=\"jet-elements-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" id=\"Laag_1\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 207.9 219.3\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 207.9 219.3;\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><style type=\"text\/css\">\t.st0{fill:#FFFFFF;}<\/style><path class=\"st0\" d=\"M165.4,31.7c6.1-9,9.5-19.8,9.5-31.7h-27c0,8-2.6,14-6.3,18.5c-11.7-4.5-24.3-7.1-37.6-7.1 C46.6,11.5,0,58.1,0,115.4s46.6,103.9,103.9,103.9s103.9-46.6,103.9-103.9C207.9,81.1,191.1,50.6,165.4,31.7z M103.9,192.3 c-42.4,0-76.9-34.5-76.9-76.9c0-29.9,17.1-55.8,42.1-68.5c9.3,8.7,23.7,12.7,38.3,12.7c4.9,0,9.8-0.5,14.6-1.3 c8.4-1.6,16.1-4.3,22.7-8c21.7,13.6,36.1,37.7,36.1,65.1C180.8,157.8,146.3,192.3,103.9,192.3z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__meta\"><div class=\"timeline-item__meta-content\">12 + 3 AND 14 + 3 WEEKS<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"jet-timeline-item  elementor-repeater-item-6c7da51 jet-timeline-item--image-inside\">\n\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card\">\n\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta\"><div class=\"timeline-item__meta-content\">19 AND 21 WEEKS<\/div><\/div><h5 class=\"timeline-item__card-title\">20-weeks ultrasound<\/h5><div class=\"timeline-item__card-desc\">The 20-week ultrasound is also referred to as the Anatomy Scan.

A clean 20-week scan is not a guarantee of a healthy baby, because not all defects can be seen on an ultrasound scan.

important. You do not need to eat for two, but slimming is not sensible. Eat fresh fruit and vegetables to make sure you consume enough vitamins, minerals and fibre.

Think about maybe taking a B12 supplement. If you cannot manage to eat fish twice per week, then throughout your pregnancy take a omega-3 (fish) fatty acids\u00a0supplement\u00a0with 250-450 mg DHA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">If you are pregnant and eat a\u00a0<strong>vegan diet<\/strong>\u00a0there is a greater risk of you not consuming enough iron, iodine, calcium, vitamin B12 and omega-3 (fish) fatty acids.
