The 20 week anomaly scan is the important one, don't miss it.

I had my app reminding me of each scan window which was so helpful. Roughly there are 3 to 4 main ones across the pregnancy. Your gynac will tell you the dates at each visit.

Just a heads up, scans add to the cost so I planned for them in advance. The anomaly scan around 20 weeks was the priciest for me. Ask your hospital for the schedule so you can budget for each one.

Generally there's an early dating scan around 6 to 9 weeks, the NT scan around 11 to 13 weeks, the anomaly scan around 18 to 20 weeks, and a growth scan in the third trimester. My doctor scheduled all of mine. The exact timing can shift a bit based on your case.
