All women in the UK are offered a scan in the mid-trimester (20 weeks) called a fetal anomaly scan by the NHS. The purpose of this scan is to perform a detailed assessment of your baby's development and growth and ensure that your baby is developing as expected. 

​​

Some women may wish to have earlier assessment of their baby's development performed, particularly if they have a previous complicated pregnancy or concerns in their current pregnancy. 

​

At The Pregnancy Experts our consultant obstetrician will perform a comprehensive, detailed assessment of your baby's physical development between 16 - 20 weeks. As a fetal medicine consultant he is highly trained in fetal anatomy assessment. 

​

Additionally, he will conduct an assessment of your baby's growth - this includes measurement of your baby's head, brain structures, abdomen and leg length. These measurements will indicate whether your baby is growing as expected. 

​

The position of your placenta, the fluid volumes around baby and the umbilical cord will also be checked routinely. 

​

The sex of your baby can also be determined at this scan, if you wish to find out. 

​

Following the scan our consultant will provide a detailed explanation of the findings and produce a detailed report for your pregnancy records.
