My wife is currently 16 weeks pregnant. Her first trimerster scan (done at 8+ week) report was normal (single live intrauterine pregnancy). She is currently out of town (at her mom's place). By which week is the Anomaly scan (second trimester scan) is to be done? She needs to return and schedule accordingly.
Just in case of serious complication and the out-dated MTP Act of our country... Need to be sure!

Hello.......the anomaly scan is often called a 20-week scan, your wife may have it any time between 18 weeks and 20 weeks plus six days... There will not be any serious complication of it.. It's routine scan done to see if there is any anamoly in fetus. Only gross anamolies can be detected
