EARLY ANOMALY SCAN 14-16WKS LEVEL 1

Description

The early anomaly scan  typically done between 11-14 weeks, checks for:
– Chromosomal abnormalities: Like Down syndrome (using NT measurement)
– Major structural issues: Heart, brain, or limb abnormalities
– Multiple pregnancies: Identifying twins or more
– Fetal viability: Confirming the baby’s heartbeat

It’s a bit earlier than the Level 2 scan, and some hospitals offer it as an option.

Let’s get detailed . The early anomaly scan (11-14 weeks) is like a first check-up for the baby’s development. Here’s what it typically looks at:
– Nuchal Translucency (NT) measurement: Checks fluid at the back of the baby’s neck for chromosomal risks
– Nasal bone check: Helps assess Down syndrome risk
– Heart activity: Basic check of the heartbeat and structure
– Limb and body structure: Looking for major abnormalities
– Multiple pregnancies: Confirming twins or more

Some places combine this with blood tests for more accurate risk assessment.
