Around the halfway point of your pregnancy, usually between 18 and 22 weeks, comes a scan that takes a much closer look at your baby’s development. This is called the anomaly scan (sometimes called the Level 2 scan), and it’s one of the most detailed checks during your pregnancy.
This scan isn’t just about growth or size, it carefully examines your baby’s organs, limbs, spine, face, heart, and brain. We also check the placenta, amniotic fluid, and how your baby is positioned. It’s our way of making sure everything is progressing as it should.
At Dr. Sidapara’s Sankalp Hospital, we approach this scan not as a routine, but as a responsibility, to notice what matters and to help you understand what we see.
During the scan, we do a head-to-toe review of your baby’s body and surroundings, including:
This scan is detailed, but it’s also done gently and calmly. It usually takes a little longer than earlier scans, around 30 to 45 minutes and we make sure you’re comfortable the whole time.
We treat this appointment with care, not just precision.
You’re not just coming in for a scan, you’re checking in with your baby at a major milestone. That’s something we take seriously.
We explain things as we go. We check thoroughly. And if something needs a closer look, we let you know what it means, without panic, without confusion.
You can bring your partner or a support person. Many parents find this scan incredibly reassuring, even emotional, seeing the fine details of their baby on screen for the first time.
You’ll leave with more than a report. You’ll leave with clarity.
Many babies show up perfectly healthy and that’s the best outcome of all. But if anything needs attention, finding it now gives you time and support to plan the next steps.
By now, you’ve likely started to feel your baby move. This scan puts those flutters into focus, helping you see just how much your little one has grown.
Book your mid-trimester scan with us at Dr Sidapara Sankalp Hospital. We’ll make it a moment of clarity, care, and connection, for you, and for the baby you’re growing every day.
