My gynac keeps writing different scans on the slip and im getting confused which is which. Like level 1, level 2 anomaly scan etc, how many total hote hai in the whole pregnancy? Just want to plan na so i dont miss any.
Oh, this is such a good question! I'm planning my pregnancy now and was also wondering about the ultrasound schedule. Do they really do a scan every trimester? And are all of them mandatory, or only if there are concerns?
Honestly, it depends on your doctor and if there are any issues. Generally, 3-4 are standard, one in each trimester. But sometimes if doc finds something, they ask for more. Each one costs, so it's good to ask your hospital for a package or estimate beforehand only.
Actually, for us, it's a bit different initially with all the monitoring. But generally, once you're pregnant, your gynac will advise a few key scans. The most important ones are for dating and the anomaly scan. Just follow your doctor's instructions, they know what's best for your specific case and baby.
See, usually it's not like 'levels' but main ones are 3-4 scans throughout. One for confirming pregnancy and due date, second the detailed one for baby's organs, and third for growth check. Sometimes if doc wants to recheck something, they might ask for one or two more. Just ask your doc clearly what all is planned for your pregnancy.
Yaar, actually, levels toh nahi bolte, but doctors usually do 3-4 main sonographies. First for viability, then anomaly scan, and then growth scan. Mere gynac ne toh kuch extra bhi kiye the depending on situation, so it varies a bit.
Meri toh abhi delivery hui hai, so I remember clearly! Usually, it's one in first trimester for dating, one big anomaly scan around 18-20 weeks, and then a growth scan in the third trimester. If everything is fine, these three are mostly enough. Sometimes they do a quick one before delivery too, just to be sure.
Hmm, generally doctors do scans to check on the baby, right? Like one early on to confirm, then a big one for detailed checkup, and later for growth. If everything seems fine, they usually stick to 3-4. Just trust your gynac, they only do what's needed for baby's health, and don't hesitate to ask them any questions.
