Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About Your Pregnancy

Answers to the most common questions about scans, diet, delivery options, and hospital admission at Badr Al Samaa.

The first ultrasound (dating and viability scan) is typically scheduled between 6 and 8 weeks of pregnancy. This scan confirms intrauterine implantation, checks fetal heartbeat, determines if you are carrying single or multiple embryos, and provides your accurate estimated due date (EDD).
