First Trimester Scans: Dating and NT Scans
The first trimester establishes the foundation of your pregnancy journey. The initial dating scan is usually performed around week 6 to 8 to confirm viability and gestational age. Following this, the Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan, combined with a dual marker blood test, is scheduled strictly between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. Under the expert supervision of Dr. Mano Rahi, OBS & Gynaecologist at Muskaan Hospital & Maternity Centre, this vital screening evaluates chromosomal health and early structural development. Expectant mothers from Budh Vihar, Rohini, and nearby North West Delhi areas trust our advanced diagnostic suite for precision and compassionate care.
Second Trimester: The Targeted Anomaly Scan
Between 18 and 22 weeks, the most crucial scan of your pregnancy takes place: the Targeted Imaging for Fetal Anomalies (TIFFA) or anomaly scan. This detailed ultrasound thoroughly examines the baby's brain, spine, heart, facial structures, limbs, and abdominal organs. It also checks placental placement and amniotic fluid levels. Dr. Mano Rahi and our dedicated antenatal care team carefully review these findings to ensure your baby is developing healthily, offering timely interventions or specialized pediatric guidance from Dr. Randhir Singh if any specialized care is anticipated.
Third Trimester: Growth and Doppler Scans
As you approach the final stretch, third-trimester growth scans (typically scheduled around 28 to 32 weeks and again closer to term at 36 weeks) monitor your baby's weight gain, fluid index, and overall wellbeing. Color Doppler studies are frequently incorporated to assess blood flow through the umbilical cord, ensuring the baby receives adequate oxygen and nutrition. Muskaan Hospital provides comprehensive pregnancy packages, seamlessly integrating routine ultrasounds, pathology, and expert maternity care under one roof.
