While a level 2 ultrasound may be used for all mothers-to-be, it is extremely beneficial for a pregnancy deemed high risk. This full anatomy scan of your fetus is taken to ensure that your baby is growing normally.
It includes:
If a previous prenatal testing has indicated fetal anomalies, there is a family history of chromosomal abnormalities, or if you have had spotting during pregnancy, it may be recommended for you to have a level 2 ultrasound.
Usually conducted during 18 to 22 weeks of the pregnancy, it helps expectant parents determine the type of prenatal care that may be required. It also helps prepare for the future of the pregnancy.
