Anomaly Scan at the London Pregnancy Clinic
Our private anomaly scan perfectly complements your NHS scan, with a more extensive checklist. Usually performed at 20-25 weeks of pregnancy.
Most extensive checklist of fetal anomalies
By 20 weeks of pregnancy, you are roughly halfway through your journey. This is an ideal time to re-examine the anatomical development of your baby using our anomaly scan in London. More specifically, we recommend the London Pregnancy Clinic scan to be performed at 22 weeks, when the major structures of the baby’s brain are completely developed.
The mid pregnancy scan involves a thorough examination of the fetal anatomy including a top-to-toe examination of the baby and its environment in the womb. Whilst checking your baby, we have the most comprehensive list of organs and structures that we examine, paying special attention to the fetal brain and heart defects. Read more about fetal anomalies and rare diseases and when they can be screened for using ultrasound.
