Scans can be done at any time but there are a few highly recommended during pregnancy:
• Early pregnancy scan – can exclude ectopic, will date pregnancy, will determine the number of babies, and check the heartbeat (See EP FAQs for more details)
• The Nuchal Scan – checks for chromosomal abnormalities and verifies baby’s early anatomy (See NT FAQs for more details)
• Anomaly scan – checks every part of baby’s anatomy to exclude any abnormalities (See Anomaly FAQs for more details)
• Growth scan – to see if baby is growing normally, placental function, amniotic fluid, and baby’s position (See Growth FAQs for more details)
