for ultrasounds between 6-10 weeks
Many expectant mothers undergo ultrasound scans starting from around 6 weeks for various reasons. During this time, 6-10 weeks you can utilize the "Ramzi Theory" based on the positioning of the placenta (not the side the baby or yolk sac is on).

During a scan, there is an indicator on the probe that determines the orientation on the screen. Depending on the probe's position, the right side of the screen represents the patient's right to left or head to toe.

It's important to note that many people attempt to use the Ramzi Theory without understanding the basics of how ultrasound works or the concept of left and right, top or bottom.
Now, here's something to consider – left and right are reversed in an ultrasound image, which can be confusing for the average person. So, to help you navigate, here's a simple clarification of left and right in an ultrasound image:
