Anomaly Scan (20 Weeks)

An anomaly scan at home in Dubai is a critical step in monitoring your baby's development during pregnancy. This detailed mid-pregnancy ultrasound, conducted around the 20-week mark, provides expectant parents with invaluable insights into the baby's physical growth, including assessments of vital organs and overall wellbeing, all in the comfort of your home, hotel, or other settings.

What Is an Anomaly Scan?

An anomaly scan, also known as a morphology scan, is a specialized ultrasound performed during the second trimester of pregnancy. Its primary purpose is to obtain a detailed view of the fetus, allowing healthcare providers to check the baby's physical development. The scan evaluates the anatomy of the heart, brain, spine, limbs, and facial features, providing comprehensive information about your baby's health.

This particular scan is crucial as it can identify any abnormalities early and assess key factors such as placental position and amniotic fluid levels. By offering this service at home in Dubai, ZainCare ensures that you don't have to navigate crowded clinics and hospitals, making your experience smoother and more comfortable.

Who Should Consider an Anomaly Scan?

Expecting parents typically receive an anomaly scan between 18-22 weeks of gestation. This scan is especially recommended for:

• First-time parents looking to monitor their baby's development closely.
• Parents with prior complications in previous pregnancies or known health issues.
• Those keen on understanding their baby's growth and ensuring everything is progressing normally.

If you have any concerns about your pregnancy or if your healthcare provider has suggested a more detailed examination, consider scheduling an anomaly scan with ZainCare.

What Is Included in the Anomaly Scan?

During the anomaly scan, a DHA-licensed nurse will perform a thorough investigation of your baby's anatomy and development. Here is what you can expect to be measured or evaluated during the procedure:

• Detailed fetal anatomy survey: This includes comprehensive checks of the heart, brain, spine, face, and limbs.
• Placental position evaluation: Which assesses how your placenta is positioned and its implications for your pregnancy.
• Amniotic fluid volume measurement: This determines whether there is sufficient fluid surrounding your baby.
• Detailed growth measurements: To track your baby's growth progress and ensure it aligns with standard expectations.

All procedures utilize sterile, single-use equipment to ensure your safety and comfort.
