Just found out im expecting, around 7 weeks i think. Wanted to understand the whole timeline of when which scan happens through the pregnancy. First time so I have no idea, pls guide me.
Along with the regular 12-week and 20-week scans, I had extra growth scans in my third trimester because of my gestational diabetes. Your doctor will plan the exact dates based on your health reports.
I felt like I was living at the diagnostic center! You'll have the dating scan early on, the NT scan at 12 weeks, and the big anomaly scan at 20 weeks. Just go whenever they tell you, it's a great excuse to lie down!
Get ready to see your baby in black and white multiple times! The major ones are around 12 weeks and 20 weeks. Just think of it as a movie date where your baby is the star of the show.
Scans can be very anxiety-inducing if you've had a loss before. Generally, there's an early viability scan around 7-8 weeks, NT scan at 12 weeks, and anomaly scan at 19-20 weeks. Stay strong and take it one scan at a time.
Standard scans are at 8 weeks, 12 weeks (NT), and 20 weeks (Anomaly). Since I had thyroid issues, I also had a late growth scan to monitor the baby's weight. Regular follow-ups with your doctor will keep everything on track.
The hospital staff gave me a complete calendar of scans at my very first booking. Typically, you have the viability, NT, and anomaly scans, followed by a growth scan. Ask your clinic's coordinator for your specific timeline.
