Fetal Anomaly Scan

A Fetal Anomaly Scan, typically conducted between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy, is an ultrasound examination designed to check the developing fetus for any physical abnormalities or conditions. This scan helps assess the baby's growth, organ development, and overall health. During the procedure, trained medical professionals evaluate various structures, such as the heart, brain, and spine, ensuring everything is progressing normally. It also provides an opportunity to confirm the baby’s gender, if desired. The scan can offer reassurance to expectant parents and, if necessary, inform them about any further investigations or support needed.
