An Anomaly Scan, typically performed between 18–22 weeks of pregnancy, is a detailed ultrasound that carefully examines the baby’s organs, spine, brain, face, limbs, heart, and overall growth to detect any structural abnormalities. This mid-pregnancy scan provides a comprehensive assessment of the baby’s development, placental position, amniotic fluid levels, and umbilical cord structure. With the addition of 3D and 4D imaging, parents can see enhanced, realistic views of the baby’s features and movements, offering both medical value and an emotional bonding experience. The scan uses advanced, safe ultrasound technology to check for conditions that may require monitoring or medical support after birth. It is a non-invasive and comfortable procedure that usually takes 20–30 minutes, depending on the baby's position and cooperation. No special preparation is required, although a moderately full bladder may sometimes help improve imaging quality. The Anomaly Scan is an essential part of prenatal care, providing reassurance and crucial early insights into the baby’s health.
