Twenty Week Pregnancy Scans and their Importance

When you get your first signs of pregnancy, you subject yourself to an early pregnancy scan. This is normally conducted after around seven weeks of pregnancy. Your second scan needs to be conducted between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy. These Pregnancy Scans are called the 20 week scans or anatomy survey scans.

This scan is conducted in order to determine if the baby's growth is normal and if the anatomical development is perfect. Here also it is the ultrasound technology that is being used. It is also a non invasive abdominal scan that never causes any pain to the mother or any harm to the baby.

This could be conducted in most clinics and the mother doesn't have to have a full bladder in order to be subjected to this scan. In this scan, the sonographer will examine the different organs of the baby in detail. In case you have any questions you could ask him.
