About this scan

  • The NT scan, also called the nuchal translucency scan, is done in the first trimester as part of early pregnancy screening.
  • It helps assess the baby’s development and includes measurement of the fluid-filled space behind the baby’s neck.
  • This is a screening scan, not a final diagnosis, so the result is interpreted along with your doctor’s advice and any blood tests if advised.

Who may need it

  • Usually scheduled between 11 weeks and 13 weeks 6 days.
  • Commonly advised for routine first trimester assessment and screening discussions.
  • Useful when you want an early detailed review after the dating scan and before the mid-pregnancy anomaly scan.

Preparation

  • Bring previous pregnancy records, scans and doctor notes if available.
  • A moderately filled bladder may sometimes help early pregnancy imaging; confirm when booking.
  • Wear comfortable clothing and keep enough time for discussion if this is your first detailed screening scan.

What to expect

  • The scan is usually done over the abdomen, and in selected situations an internal scan may be advised for better detail.
  • Measurements are taken carefully, and the doctor reviews the baby’s position, heartbeat and key first trimester markers that can be seen at this stage.
  • After the scan, you will be guided on next steps, whether routine follow-up, blood tests or review with your obstetrician.
