ME➡️During pregnancy🤰, several ultrasound scans and tests are performed to monitor the baby’s development and check for any potential complications.
➡️Here’s a general timeline of the scans:
1. ➡️Early Pregnancy Scan (6–9 Weeks)
• ✅Also called a viability scan or dating scan
• ✅Confirms pregnancy, checks for a heartbeat, and estimates due date
• ✅Can identify multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.)
2. ➡️NT Scan (Nuchal Translucency Scan) + First Trimester Screening (11–14 Weeks)
• ✅Measures fluid at the back of the baby’s neck to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome
• ✅Often combined with a blood test (Double Marker Test)
3. ➡️Anomaly Scan (20 Weeks)
• ✅Also called a mid-pregnancy scan or level 2 ultrasound
• ✅Checks baby’s organs, limbs, spine, brain, and heart
• ✅Identifies structural abnormalities
• ✅Determines placenta position and amniotic fluid levels
4. ➡️Growth Scan (28–32 Weeks)
• ✅Monitors the baby’s growth, weight, and movements
• ✅Checks placenta function and amniotic fluid levels
• ✅Recommended if the mother has diabetes, high blood pressure, or other complications
5. ➡️Doppler Scan (32–36 Weeks)
• ✅Assesses blood flow in the umbilical cord and baby’s organs
• ✅Helps detect fetal distress or growth issues
Additional scans may be recommended in case of complications like bleeding, reduced fetal movements, or high-risk pregnancies.
