If you choose to have a dating scan, it will most probably be your first scan. You will need to get a referral from your doctor or midwife for a dating scan. Most women can instead have their first scan at 11 to 13 weeks — this is usually called the 12-week scan.

How long after 12 week scan do you get results?

When will I be given the results? Normal results will be confirmed in writing within 7 working days. If the result identifies the pregnancy as higher risk for any of the conditions you will be contacted by telephone within three days by the screening midwife.

How long do ultrasound results take to get back to Doctor?

When will I get my results? After your scan, the radiologist or sonographer will examine the images further, then prepare a report. This will be sent to the clinican who referred you. If this was your GP, you can expect the report to be available at your surgery within 10 to 14 days.
