Detailed anatomy scan (19 – 24 weeks)

This is not a detailed scan as the baby is too big at this stage to exclude major
abnormalities. However, this scan gives ongoing information about the growth
and development of your baby. Various measurements are made to assess the
growth.

The amniotic fluid is checked as well as the position of the placenta
(afterbirth).

As well as measuring you baby, it is also possible to assess the
wellbeing of your baby by watching its movement on scan.

If you would like to know the sex of the baby, this can be done at this stage, however it is
still only 95% accurate!
