Sometimes the sonographer doing the scan will need to be quiet while they concentrate on checking your baby. The screen may be directly facing them, or at an angle. The sonographer needs to keep the screen in a position that gives them a good view of the baby.
Having the scan does not hurt, but the sonographer may need to apply slight pressure to get the best views of the baby. A black and white image of the baby will appear on the ultrasound screen. The gel makes sure there's good contact between the probe and your skin.

The sonographer then passes a handheld probe over your skin to examine the baby's body. The sonographer or their assistant will tuck tissue paper around your clothing to protect it from the gel, which will be put on your tummy. You'll be asked to lie on a couch, lower your skirt or trousers to your hips and lift your top to your chest so your abdomen is uncovered. The scan is carried out in a dimly lit room so the sonographer can get good images of the baby. Most scans are carried out by specially trained staff called sonographers. In some very serious, rare cases where no treatment is possible, the baby will die soon after they're born or may die during pregnancy. In a small number of cases, some very serious conditions are found – for example, the baby's brain, kidneys, internal organs or bones may not have developed properly. Some of the conditions that can be seen on the scan, such as cleft lip, will mean the baby may need treatment or surgery after they're born. The scan will find about half (5 out of 10) of babies who have heart defects. Some other conditions, such as heart defects, are more difficult to see. This can usually be seen clearly on a scan, and will be detected in around 9 out of 10 babies who have spina bifida. For example, some babies have a condition called open spina bifida, which affects the spinal cord.
Some conditions can be seen more clearly than others. If there's a condition, will the scan find it? In most cases, the scan will show that the baby appears to be developing as expected, but sometimes the sonographer will find or suspect something different. You can find more information on each of these conditions, including treatment options, in these leaflets from GOV.UK: The scan only looks for these conditions, and cannot find everything that might be wrong. It allows the sonographer to look for 11 rare conditions. The 20-week screening scan looks in detail at the baby's bones, heart, brain, spinal cord, face, kidneys and abdomen.
