When can I get the level two ultrasound?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a female, and I am a primigravida (17 weeks and 6 days). According to my LMP, I am 17 weeks and 6 days pregnant, but according to my NT scan (done in the 12- to 13-week gestation period), it shows a pregnancy of 18 weeks and 3 days to date. Now I have to go for a level two ultrasound, and my doctor gave me the date for next month.

Will it be fine by this time to go for an ultrasound or be late according to my gestation period?

As I heard, it should be done between 18 and 20 weeks.

Kindly advise.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The number of weeks will be counted according to your scan date. So, according to this, your TIFFA (targeted imaging for fetal anomalies) scan will be dated. The TIFFA or anomaly scan, which you have mentioned, can be done from 18 to 24 weeks and will give clear results.

So relax and do not worry. You can go for the scan as per your gynecologist. However, if you have a doubt, then get back to me.

I hope it helps.

Take care.
