"In a typical pregnancy, you'll usually have two main ultrasound scans: one between 10 and 14 weeks, called the dating scan, and another between 18 and 22 weeks, known as the anomaly or anatomy scan. Some women may also have additional scans, such as a nuchal translucency scan (NT scan) around 11-14 weeks, or scans to monitor fetal growth later in the pregnancy.

Dating Scan (10-14 weeks): This scan reiterates the pregnancy, determines the gestational age, and examines if there are any complications. It is also used to identify the baby's heartbeat and to ascertain if there are many fetuses.

Anomaly/Anatomy Scan (18-22 weeks): This scan captures a closer shot of the baby's body and is able to locate any structurally incorrect parts or potential birth defects. It can also be employed to establish the baby's gender (if the baby is in a good position to be seen).

Nuchal Translucency Scan (11-14 weeks): This scan calculates the thickness of the baby's neck fluid-filled space and is usually accompanied by a blood test to test for certain genetic conditions such as Down's syndrome.

Growth Scans (Third trimester): These scans can help in tracking the baby's growth and development, particularly under circumstances where the pregnancy encounters some problems.
