Anomaly Scan
21 weeks - 23 weeks
At the beginning measurements will be made of the baby's head, brain, abdomen and legs. These will be plotted on a chart. We then continue a very thorough scan to check your baby's heart, brain, spine, bowel and limbs, to detect any abnormalities. This can never completely guarantee that the baby will be normal, but it gives very strong reassurance. We also check the placenta, amniotic fluid and the umbilical cord. If you wish, you can find out the sex of your baby from this scan.
Time needed for the scan: About 30 minutes.

Notes
1. Consultant or Sonographer?
If you are having a normal pregnancy, then in most cases a scan by one of our experienced sonographers is advisable. All our sonographers are fully qualified and accredited, so you are in safe hands. If however, you are experiencing complications with your pregnancy or need a second opinion, a scan with one of our consultants is recommended.
2. You do not need a referral from your GP or Obstetrician.
