Frequently Asked Questions
Is Morphology Scan safe?
If you have any concerns about the safety of this procedure, please speak to your doctor or midwife.
When can I have my Morphology Scan?
What are the benefits of having a Morphology Scan?
How should I prepare for my Morphology Scan?
You should drink plenty of water before your scan. This will help to fill up your bladder, which will make it easier to see your baby on the ultrasound. You should also empty your bladder before the scan begins.
What happens during a Morphology Scan?
During the scan, a gel will be applied to your stomach. The gel helps to transmit the ultrasound waves and allows them to bounce off your baby. A handheld device called a transducer will be used to create images of your baby on a screen.
The sonographer performing the scan will look at different parts of your baby’s body to make sure that they are developing normally. This includes the head, brain, face, spine, heart, stomach, kidneys and limbs. The scan usually takes about 30 minutes to complete.
