My doctor mentioned different scans I'll need during pregnancy. What are the various pregnancy scans usually done, and what is their purpose? I want to understand them better.
Please make sure to strictly follow the scan schedule your doctor gives. I had some complications, and timely scans like the Doppler really helped us manage things safely. Your doctor is the best person to decide which scans u need and when.
In our days we didn't have all this, but now these scans like the Anomaly scan are very helpful to see the baby's progress. Eat a light ghar ka khana and drink coconut water before going so u feel comfortable during the test. Take proper rest afterwards.
There are key scans like NT scan around 12 weeks, Anomaly scan at 20 weeks, and growth scans later on. For me, the late growth scans were super important to monitor the baby's weight because of my gestational diabetes. Make sure you don't skip any of them.
My MIL said we didn't have so many scans in their time, but I decided to trust my doctor completely. The main ones are the dating scan, NT scan, and the detailed anomaly scan. They give so much peace of mind seeing the baby healthy.
