Usually one to confirm pregnancy. Next one is at 11 to 12 weeks for skin thickness of the neck.
Good luck.

Hello,

For patients without complications, we usually perform a scan between 11-13 weeks to establish dating and perform a nuchal screening test. Sometimes, we will perform them earlier if there is significant vaginal bleeding or other complications.
I hope that this helps.
