Pregnancy is a journey filled with excitement, care, and anticipation. At Aashakiran IVF Pvt. Ltd., we understand that every parent wants assurance about their baby’s health right from the start. One of the most important scans during pregnancy is the Early Anomaly Scan, also known as the 11–14 week scan or NT (Nuchal Translucency) Scan.
What is an Early Anomaly Scan?
An Early Anomaly Scan is an advanced ultrasound performed between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. It helps doctors check your baby’s development in the early stages and detect any major health concerns or abnormalities.
Why is it Important?
This scan plays a crucial role in:
-
Checking baby’s growth – Confirms the baby’s size, heartbeat, and development.
-
Detecting chromosomal conditions – Screens for conditions such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome.
-
Assessing Nuchal Translucency (NT) – Measures the fluid at the back of the baby’s neck, which can indicate chromosomal or heart problems.
-
Examining early anatomy – Helps identify structural abnormalities in the brain, heart, or other organs.
-
Confirming pregnancy details – Confirms due date, number of babies (single or twins), and position of the fetus.
How is the Scan Done?
-
It is a simple, safe, and painless ultrasound scan.
-
Performed abdominally (through the belly) using advanced ultrasound machines.
-
Sometimes a transvaginal scan may be suggested for clearer imaging.
Benefits of Early Anomaly Scan
-
Detects potential problems at an early stage.
-
Provides peace of mind to parents.
-
Helps doctors plan further diagnostic tests if required.
-
Allows timely medical intervention if any abnormality is found.
Is it Safe?
Yes! The Early Anomaly Scan is completely safe for both mother and baby. It uses ultrasound waves, not radiation, ensuring no harm to the pregnancy.
