In our times we didn't have so many tests, but nowadays doctors suggest scans in almost every trimester. Make sure you go for the 3rd and 5th month scans without fail. Keep eating fresh fruits and green veggies for strength meanwhile.
Hey, don't stress too much about the timing! Your doc will tell you, but generally, you'll have scans in the 2nd month, then 3rd month, 5th month, and one near your delivery. Just enjoy seeing your little one on the screen!
You will have scans around 2 months, 3 months, 5 months, and then in the 9th month. Better to plan your budget in advance because private hospital scan charges and blood tests can really add up quickly.
My mother-in-law said we don't need so many scans, but I trusted my doctor completely. We did the dating scan at 8 weeks, NT scan at 12 weeks, and the big anomaly scan in the 5th month. It is always better to follow the medical advice.
I am still planning my pregnancy, but my sister had her first scan at around 7 or 8 weeks just to hear the heartbeat. It must be such a beautiful feeling! Hope you get a clear schedule from your doctor soon.
Actually, your doctor will give you the exact schedule based on how your pregnancy is progressing. Usually, there is an early dating scan, then the NT scan around 3 months, and an anomaly scan around 5 months. Please consult your gynac to know what's right for you.
