Ultrasound - Level 2

A Level 2 Ultrasound, also known as a detailed anomaly scan or anatomy scan, is typically performed during the second trimester of pregnancy, around 18 to 22 weeks. This scan provides a more in-depth look at the baby's anatomy, allowing the doctor to check for any potential abnormalities or congenital conditions.

Key Points of a Level 2 Ultrasound:

• Detailed Examination: It examines the baby's organs, including the brain, heart, kidneys, and spine, to detect any anomalies.
• Measurement: The doctor measures the baby's growth to ensure development is on track.
• Placenta and Amniotic Fluid: It assesses the position of the placenta and the amount of amniotic fluid.
• Gender Determination: In some cases, it can reveal the baby's gender (if desired).

Why It's Important:

A Level 2 Ultrasound helps in early detection of any conditions that might require medical attention or further testing. It also provides reassurance to parents about their baby's health and development at a critical stage of pregnancy.
