The number of ultrasounds during pregnancy in Italy varies based on individual circumstances and medical recommendations. However, a typical pregnancy in Italy involves three to four ultrasounds.
Here's a breakdown of the typical ultrasound schedule in Italy:
- First Trimester: One ultrasound is usually performed between weeks 11 and 14 to confirm the pregnancy, check the fetus's development, and estimate the due date.
- Second Trimester: Another ultrasound is typically done between weeks 19 and 22 to assess the fetus's growth, check for any abnormalities, and determine the baby's position.
- Third Trimester: A final ultrasound is usually scheduled between weeks 32 and 36 to monitor the fetus's growth and development, assess the placenta's health, and ensure the baby is positioned correctly for delivery.
It's important to note that this is just a general guideline, and your doctor may recommend additional ultrasounds based on your individual health history, pregnancy complications, or other factors.
