Pregnancy comes with a lot of scans and reports.
One of the most important ones is the Level 2 Ultrasound.
Some people also call it the Anomaly Scan.
Dont worry if the name sounds scary.
It is a routine scan, done for every pregnancy.
It simply gives a detailed look at your baby’s growth and organs.
Let us explain it in simple words.
What is a Level 2 Ultrasound ?
A Level 2 Ultrasound is a detailed scan of the baby.
Normal scans check the baby’s heartbeat and position.
This scan goes deeper.
It looks closely at the baby’s brain, heart, spine, kidneys and other organs.
The doctor checks if all parts are developing properly.
When is this scan done ?
This scan is usually done between 18 to 22 weeks of pregnancy.
This is the best window for a clear picture.
If done too early, some organs are still too small to see properly.
If done too late, the baby’s position can make certain views difficult.
So your doctor will guide you on the right time based on your reports.
What does the anomaly scan check ?
The scan looks at many parts of the baby’s body, such as:
- Brain and skull structure
- Heart chambers and blood flow
- Spine, for any defects
- Kidneys and bladder
- Stomach, limbs and facial features
- Amount of amniotic fluid
- Position of the placenta
Most of the time, everything is normal.
But if the doctor finds something that needs a closer look, you will be told clearly and the next steps will be explained.
What about the Level 2 ultrasound price ?
Many patients in Delhi ask about pregnancy ultrasound price before booking.
The exact cost depends on your case and which scan is advised.
It also depends on whether its a routine anomaly scan or if additional views are needed.
We dont believe in surprise bills.
Just ask us for the current rate list and we will explain everything clearly before the scan.
What should you expect during the scan ?
- The scan takes around 30 to 45 minutes
- You dont need to be fasting for this
- A light meal before the scan is fine
- The radiologist will move the probe gently over your belly
- You can usually see the baby’s movements on the screen
