Routine Pregnancy Ultrasound

As part of our comprehensive prenatal care services, Khandelwal Clinic offers routine ultrasound scans designed to confirm pregnancy milestones, evaluate fetal growth, and detect any potential complications. Let’s take a closer look at the different types of ultrasound scans offered during pregnancy.

Early Confirmation Scan: 6-10 Weeks

This initial ultrasound confirms the presence of a viable embryo and estimates the gestational age. It also checks for multiple pregnancies and evaluates the location of the placenta.

Nuchal Translucency Scan: 11-14 Weeks

Also referred to as the NT scan, this ultrasound examines the thickness of the fluid-filled area at the back of the neck called the nuchal fold. A thicker nuchal fold could indicate an increased chance of chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome.

Anomaly Scan: 18-22 Weeks

This detailed ultrasound focuses on checking the baby’s organs, limbs, and facial features for structural anomalies. It also determines the sex of the baby, if desired.

Growth Monitoring Scans: 28 and 36 Weeks

These ultrasounds measure the baby’s size and estimate its weight, head circumference, and abdominal circumference. They help determine whether the baby is growing appropriately and identify any potential growth restrictions.
