    These guidelines were published in 2019 and are awaiting review, due 2022. Some content may be outdated. Routine ultrasound should not be offered or requested simply to confirm an ongoing early pregnancy in the absence of any clinical concerns, symptoms or specific indications. The first ultrasound of the pregnancy should ideally be offered when the gestational age is thought to be between   12 and 13+6 weeks   gestation for optimal assessment of fetal anatomy and nuchal translucency (NT). The purpose of the scan is to confirm viability, accurately establish gestational age, det ...

    These guidelines were published in 2019 and are awaiting review, due 2022. Some content may be outdated. Assessment of chorionicity and amnionicity (see below) is vital (first-trimester assessment is optimal).   Label the leading fetus ‘twin A’ and the following fetus ‘twin B’ and record position as left and right and upper and lower, by the relationship of each sac to the cervix, and assign gender if discordant.   Twins frequently change position: the description of fetal position must be clear, and state if the previously leading twin is no longer presenting; howe ...

  • Appendix 2: Low gestational sac in the first trimester with previous caesarean section

    http://corporat-prod.sites.silverstripe.com/for-health-professionals/health-workforce-development/maternity/new-zealand-obstetric-ultrasound-guidelines-online/appendices/appendix-2-low-gestational-sac-in-the-first-trimester-with-previous-caesarean-section

    The presence of a sac located in an abnormally low position within the uterus in the first trimester in a woman who has had one or more caesarean sections should prompt careful further review, including transvaginal (TV) scanning, if possible.   The differential diagnosis includes a normally developing but low sac that shows normal subsequent development on follow-up scans, an inevitable miscarriage (which appears avascular), scar ectopic or abnormally adherent trophoblast/placenta (early evidence of placenta accreta/abnormally implanted placenta). Early placenta accreta / abnormally impl
