Is an anomaly scan harmful to the mother or the child?

An anomaly scan is a fairly safe procedure and is not known to pose a risk to the mother and the fetus. But deciding whether to have the scan or not is a decision that is left to the family’ choice. Most doctors recommend a scan as a precautionary measure that will later help in making well-informed decisions.

Are anomaly scans foolproof?

Anomaly scans are not a hundred percent foolproof. The scan taken at 20 weeks may sometimes not reveal an underlying issue. But it may throw light on the issue when it is redone after a few weeks. Besides, there is always a narrow chance of babies being born with a congenital issue that has gone undetected.

When will further tests be necessary?

If the anomaly scan reveals even the slightest possibility of abnormal development, the radiologist will recommend another scan or a series of other tests. These tests will help in assessing the seriousness of the problem and deciding the further course of action. Doctors often seek a second opinion or refer the patient to a specialist who will assess the scan result.

Can the person be accompanied by a family member or friend?

Certainly! It is always reassuring to have someone accompany the mother-to-be, especially if it is her first anomaly scan.

When is the best time of the day for an anomaly scan?

You can have an anomaly scan as per your scheduled appointment time. But the best time is to get it done before 2 pm. Fasting is not required. The anomaly scan centre assistants may sometimes ask the patient to come with a full bladder.
