Level II Obstetric Scan

A level II ultrasound is a special scan that gives you a very specific glimpse of your growing baby. These days, it’s pretty much routine for women in their second trimester to be scheduled for a level II ultrasound, commonly called the 20-week anatomy scan. That’s because practitioners have found that this special pregnancy ultrasound is a great way to see how a baby is developing and offer reassurance that everything is going exactly the way it should be. Most anatomy scans are performed in the second trimester of pregnancy, typically at 20 weeks but they can be done anytime between 18 weeks and 22 weeks.
