What Is The Pregnancy Scan Procedure? Lump On The Stomach
Hi, I am 11 weeks & 1 day pregnant. I was wondering how I go about booking my scan (i live in Stoke-on-Trent) and what is the scan procedure? And what stage does a woman start showing ? also I can feel the changes in my stomach; a hard lump the size of a golf ball also another lump ish what moves, what could these be? And at what date can I find out the sex? Also what would the fetus look like at this stage of pregnancy? Thanks. Steph

Hello
Thank you for your query.
At 11 weeks the fetus is only a few centimetres long.
you need to consult a gynecologist and book your scan
the scan procedure is a simple ultrasound that would be done abdominally now since you are already 11 weeks pregnant.
A woman starts showing in the second trimester after 14 - 16 weeks.
You cannot feel lumps or balls right now, as the uterus is still a pelvic organ.
You can easily know the fetal sex as early as 12 weeks onwards.
