Pregnancy is a journey where regular monitoring plays a crucial role in ensuring the health of both mother and baby. Obstetric & antenatal scans are ultrasound examinations performed at different stages of pregnancy to monitor fetal development, detect abnormalities early, and assess the overall progress of the pregnancy.
These pregnancy ultrasound scans help doctors evaluate the baby’s growth, check organ development, monitor placental function, and assess blood flow between the mother and the baby. Each scan is recommended at a specific stage of pregnancy to provide important medical insights and reassurance for expecting parents.
At Fetal View Sonography Centre, all essential antenatal scans are performed using advanced ultrasound technology and interpreted by an experienced fetal medicine specialist. The focus is on accurate diagnosis, detailed evaluation, and clear communication so that parents understand every stage of their baby’s development.
Every pregnancy progresses differently, which is why timely antenatal scans are important. These scans allow doctors to monitor the baby’s development and identify potential concerns early so appropriate care can be planned.
Each scan provides specific information about the baby’s health and development. The timing and type of scan help doctors evaluate growth, detect structural abnormalities, and ensure the pregnancy is progressing normally.
Modern ultrasound technology allows detailed visualization of fetal structures and movements. This helps in early detection of certain conditions while ensuring accurate monitoring throughout pregnancy.
"Pregnancy scans play an important role in understanding your baby’s development and ensuring everything is progressing well. Accurate imaging, expert interpretation, and clear guidance help expectant parents feel confident throughout their pregnancy journey."
During pregnancy, several ultrasound scans are recommended to assess different aspects of the baby’s development. Each scan focuses on a specific stage of fetal growth and provides important medical insights.
The viability scan is usually performed in early pregnancy to confirm that the pregnancy is located inside the uterus and to detect the baby’s heartbeat. It also helps determine gestational age and estimate the expected due date.
The NT scan is performed between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. It measures the fluid at the back of the baby’s neck and is used as part of screening for chromosomal abnormalities and certain structural conditions.
The anomaly scan, also called the Level II scan, is a detailed ultrasound performed around 18–22 weeks of pregnancy. It examines the baby’s organs including the brain, heart, spine, kidneys, and limbs to check for structural abnormalities.
A growth scan is performed in the later stages of pregnancy to monitor how the baby is growing. It evaluates fetal weight, amniotic fluid levels, and the position of the placenta.
The Doppler scan measures blood flow between the placenta and the baby. This scan helps assess fetal well-being and is often recommended when monitoring certain pregnancy conditions.
3D and 4D ultrasound scans provide detailed images of the baby’s face and movements, helping doctors evaluate certain structural features.
Antenatal scans are performed at different stages of pregnancy to monitor development and ensure the baby’s well-being.
Confirms pregnancy inside the uterus, detects the heartbeat, and establishes gestational age.
Screens for chromosomal abnormalities and evaluates early fetal development.
Examines the baby’s organs and structures to identify potential birth defects.
Monitor fetal growth, placental health, and blood flow to ensure the baby continues to develop normally.
Pregnancy scans are not just medical tests—they provide reassurance and understanding for expecting parents. Each scan offers valuable insights about the baby’s development while allowing parents to stay informed about their pregnancy.
The first scans confirm the pregnancy and establish important early information such as heartbeat and gestational age.
Mid-pregnancy scans carefully examine the baby’s organs and structures to detect any abnormalities.
Later scans monitor fetal growth, amniotic fluid levels, and blood flow to ensure continued healthy development.
All scans are performed under the supervision of Dr. Pranita Mahashabde, a fetal medicine specialist with advanced expertise in prenatal diagnosis, ensuring accurate evaluation and compassionate care for every pregnancy.
Fetal View Sonography Centre is a dedicated fetal medicine clinic focused on detailed prenatal diagnosis rather than only routine ultrasound scans.
