Fetal Anomaly Scan
I just had a fetal anomaly scan last week. This ultrasound examination is a detailed check conducted between 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy to screen for structural abnormalities that a fetus may have. The size and development of your baby's brain, spine, heart, kidneys and limbs are examined.

In my case, I was shown the different features of the face, the chambers of the heart, the blood flow along the umbilical cord. I was also shown the limbs, and though I was able to see the arms and legs, as well as the hands and feet, the image wasn't clear enough to be able to count the fingers and toes.

The main purpose of this scan is to reassure the mother that all is developing well with her baby, anatomically, at least.
