A routine ultrasound assessment for dating offered to women at the first antenatal visit provides more precise estimates of gestational age and reduces the need to adjust the estimate of the date of delivery in mid-gestation. Women who had an ultrasound at the first visit reported more positive feelings about their pregnancy, compared with women in the control group at that time.
