Gynac wrote anomaly scan on my next appointment slip and now im a little tense about what they check. Im around 19 weeks. Is it the detailed one where they see everything? thoda nervous, pls explain.
Yeh scan 5th month mein hota hai jismein doctor bache ke saare ang achhe se dekhte hain—jaise hath, pair, dil sab theek se ban raha hai na. Bahut zaroori hota hai taaki bache ki sehat ka pata chale. Bilkul miss mat karna ise.
It is a very important scan done in the second trimester, but keep in mind it can be a bit expensive, around 2000-4000 rupees depending on the lab. Try to plan your budget for this month accordingly so there are no surprises at the billing counter.
My saas was saying in their time there were no such detailed scans, but my doctor insisted it's a must to check the baby's growth. It basically checks all organs of the baby around the 5th month. It is really worth doing for peace of mind.
I am not a doctor, but when I had my anomaly scan around 20 weeks, it took about 30-40 minutes. The radiologist checked every detail of the baby's brain, heart, and spine on the screen. It was such a relief to see my baby moving!
It's the level-2 scan done around 18-20 weeks to check the baby's detailed anatomy. I got it done at my hospital's advanced diagnostic wing, and they explained everything so clearly. Just ask your hospital coordinator to book the slot in advance since it takes time.
