What is pregnancy follow-up?

Prenatal follow-up consists of a series of medical visits and ultrasounds that allow us to monitor the progress of the pregnancy and detect any issues at an early stage.

Thanks to these regular check-ups, we offer expectant mothers the reassurance that everything is going well and, if necessary, the chance to act in time.

Tests included in pregnancy follow-up

At our clinic, we perform the most important pregnancy ultrasounds, all with state-of-the-art technology:

First trimester Doppler ultrasound (week 12)
  • Confirms the growth and viability of the pregnancy.
  • Includes first-trimester combined screening to rule out chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome.
  • Initial evaluation of the organs, nuchal translucency, and heart rate.
  • Allows for the early detection of possible congenital heart defects.
  • specific study of the heart in the early stages of development.
  • A detailed study of fetal anatomy: brain, heart, spine, kidneys, bones, and other organs.
  • Helps diagnose malformations and confirm proper development.
  • This is the ultrasound that provides the greatest reassurance to expectant parents.
  • Monitors the baby’s growth and estimated weight.
  • Assesses fetal position, placenta, and amniotic fluid.
  • Evaluates placental function and helps plan for delivery.

Frequently asked questions about pregnancy follow-up

How many ultrasounds are performed during pregnancy?

The main ultrasounds are: the week 12 scan, early fetal echocardiography at week 15, the morphological ultrasound at week 20, Doppler ultrasound, and the third-trimester scan (weeks 32–34).

What is the difference between a regular ultrasound and a Doppler ultrasound?

A regular ultrasound shows the baby’s anatomy and development, while a Doppler ultrasound analyzes blood flow and fetal well-being.

Is it necessary to have pregnancy follow-up at a private clinic?

Private follow-up provides greater personalization, high-resolution technology, and more time dedicated to each patient — increasing safety, confidence, and comfort.
