What are the scans during pregnancy?

Question

Im in my first trimester and just trying to understand what all scans are coming up through these months. Want to be mentally and money wise prepared. Can someone list them out?

Tanushree Madhavan · Answer

Just a heads up, scans add up cost wise so I planned ahead. I asked my doctor which ones are truly needed vs extra. The NT and anomaly scans were the must dos for us.

Manorama Shetty · Answer

Just follow the schedule your doctor gives, that covers everything.

Ayesha Shinde · Answer

I was nervous before every scan honestly, especially the anomaly one. But each came back fine. Did anyone else get jittery before scans too?

Daakshayani Desai · Answer

My gynac scheduled a dating scan early, then the NT scan around 11-13 weeks, anomaly scan around 18-20 weeks and growth scans later. She explained each one as we went. Best to follow your doctors schedule since it's tailored.

Roughly there's the early dating one, the NT scan, the detailed anomaly scan and growth scans in the last months. Doctor adds more if needed. Just dont skip the anomaly one, it's important.

I noted all my scan dates in an app so I never missed one. It even reminded me a day before each. Made tracking the dating, NT and anomaly scans super easy.
