Frequently asked questions

When do I choose which ultrasound examination?
Pregnancy weeks 6-12: Early pregnancy ultrasound examination
Pregnancy weeks 13-27: Mid pregnancy ultrasound examination
Pregnancy weeks 24-28: 3D/4D ultrasound examination
Pregnancy weeks 28-40: Late pregnancy ultrasound examination
What is examined during the different ultrasound examinations?
If the pregnancy has started normally, you will be able to see your child’s heartbeat for the first time! (recommended time to visit: from pregnancy week 7 + 0) The early ultrasound also seeks to ensure that the pregnancy is in the right place inside the womb and that the fetus is growing and developing well. The duration of the pregnancy, the estimated time of birth as well as the number of fetuses can also be determined during this appointment.
During the mid pregnancy ultrasound, the sex of the fetus can often be determined as long as you are at least 15 weeks pregnant. This ultrasound also aims to ensure that the fetus has grown and developed well.
During the late pregnancy ultrasound, the baby’s position in the womb is determined and a weight assessment is given. The ultrasound examination also aims to ensure that the baby has grown as expected and that all is well in the womb.

For twin pregnancies: 10 min will be added to the times above.
Who can join me for the examinations?
You can bring your spouse, friend and/or support person and, if necessary, your child. In our experience, children are rarely interested enough to calmly sit through the whole examination.

Can I get a pregnancy certificate at Preggo? (e.g. for Kela or for an airline) What does a pregnancy certificate cost?
Yes, you can get an official pregnancy certificate from us upon request.
The price of the pregnancy certificate totals 145 € (gynecologist’s reception, the certificate is included in the reception’s price).
If you also want an ultrasound examination, the price of the entirety is 249€ (gynecologist’s reception, ultrasound examination and pregnancy certificate). In other words, you can choose either with or without an ultrasound examination.
In any case, we recommend to book a 30-minute reception slot (145€), and during the reception you can discuss the need for an ultrasound with our gynecologist on a case-by-case basis – billing according to the chosen services.
