Yes. Thermal paper prints of images are included with the diagnostic report, offering visual support for the findings. The report provides key observations and medical assessments based on the scan.

The sonologists will tell you about the visible problems immediately during the scan. You will get the report shortly after the procedure.

No, scans are not painful. But you may feel uncomfortable sometimes as the sonologist may apply a little pressure on your abdomen and pelvic area to have a good view of the fetus.

You can eat and drink normally before an anomaly scan. No fasting is required, and there is no need for you to go on an empty stomach.

You may know the baby’s gender in the anomaly scan report since the external genitalia are developed by 20 weeks. However, the identification of the sex also depends on the position of your baby. If the baby does not cooperate, the sonologist may not get a clear picture of the genitalia, making the identification difficult.

An anomaly scan is usually done to check the proper growth and development of the fetus and rule out any abnormalities. This scan does not pose any threat to the baby. So get this scan done during your pregnancy to determine any conditions present in the fetus. This will help respond promptly and reduce the chances of any complications in the future.
