What Is an Anomaly Scan?
An anomaly scan, also known as a fetal anomaly scan or second-trimester scan, is a vital part of prenatal diagnostics typically performed between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy. This detailed ultrasound assesses the development of the baby and identifies any structural abnormalities. It provides critical insights into the baby’s overall growth, organ development, and placental health, helping doctors plan for a safe delivery and addressing any potential issues early.

- Limbs and Spine: Assessing the baby’s arms, legs, and spinal alignment.
