Pregnancy ultrasound examinations and NIPT

A pregnancy ultrasound is an important part of monitoring both the mother and baby’s health throughout pregnancy. With ultrasound, we can assess fetal growth and development, examine anatomical structures, and ensure the pregnancy is progressing normally. It also offers a special moment for expecting parents to see and connect with their baby.

At our fertility clinic, we use modern, high-resolution ultrasound technology that provides a clear and detailed view of your baby’s development.

Contact Ovumia to book a pregnancy ultrasound – we can arrange one even on a short notice.
