My doc told me to book an anatomy scan around 20 weeks but didnt explain much. What exactly do they check in this one? first time mom here so everything is new na. pls help me understand.
It's a very detailed scan around 20 weeks to check baby's organs. Just make sure you eat a light, healthy meal before going so baby is active and they can get good pictures.
It's a very important scan around the 5th month. It might cost a bit more than regular scans, so plan your budget for this month accordingly, but don't skip it as it's crucial.
It's basically the Level 2 ultrasound done around week 18-22 to check the baby's physical growth and internal organs. Your doctor is the best person to explain the detailed report, so do discuss it with them.
Don't worry, it is a routine scan also called Level 2 scan. They check everything from baby's brain to toes to ensure development is normal. It takes a bit longer than normal scans, so be patient.
My saas was worried about why so many scans are needed, but I explained this anatomy scan is very important to see baby's growth. It gave us so much peace of mind seeing the baby on screen.
It is a beautiful scan where you get to see all of baby's tiny features. Just pray, stay positive, and go with a calm mind, God will bless your baby with good health.
