Fetal Health and Well-Being
Good antenatal care is the key to your healthy pregnancy. A Company for Women will guide you through the entire spectrum of tests, scans and checks that are at the heart of good antenatal care.
Your baby will not feel anything during the routine ultrasound scans because the sound waves of the ultrasound are in the higher frequency spectrum which is inaudible to the human ear.
The ultimate choice as to whether you want to avail yourself of any of these procedures is yours to make.
We provide:
The First Trimester Scan
also called Pregnancy Viability and Dating Scan is done at 6 – 11 weeks to confirm the pregnancy, exclude ectopic pregnancy, and to estimate the delivery date
Nuchal Translucency Scan
usually done at 11 – 13 weeks is a noninvasive test to assess the risk of having a baby with chromosomal abnormality.
Fetal Anomaly Screening Scan
is done usually at 18 – 22 weeks to exclude a structural fetal abnormality and to confirm the position of the placenta.
Growth Scans
are done in the third trimester to assess the growth and the health of the baby.
All these scans are a wonderful opportunity for you to bond with you baby. We also have the option to do 3d scans if you wish to have them.
In certain cases, more invasive tests such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) at 10-13 weeks, amniocentesis at 16 weeks may be necessary to exclude chromosomal and genetic disorders. You will be guided with detailed information by our doctors if the need for such tests arises.
