Anomaly Scan in Pregnancy
There are three trimesters in pregnancy and each trimester holds its importance in the birth cycle of a child. It is essential to get various scans and health check-ups performed during the nine month period to ensure that the baby’s growth is normal and on track. An anomaly test or scan is conducted in the second trimester of pregnancy predominantly to track the growth progress of the foetus.
During the scan, the sonographer (the person who performs the test) checks the overall growth of the baby’s organs and the formation of the body structure to ensure that the growth is normal. Let us understand more about anomaly scan and also answer FAQs in detail.
What is an Anomaly Scan (Ultrasound level 2)?
An anomaly scan, also known as the ultrasound level II, is a mid-pregnancy scan that takes a closer look at your baby and the uterus (womb). In this scan, the sonographer can see whether the baby is developing normally and will also check the position of your placenta, the umbilical cord, and amniotic fluid around the baby. This scan is also known as morphology scan or 20-week scan. It is important to note that the purpose of this scan is to check your baby’s health and not to determine the gender of the baby.
Why Should you go for an Anomaly Scan?
As mentioned above, an anomaly scan is performed to determine the growth and health of your child. It is not mandatory to get this scan done, but it is highly recommended to monitor your child’s growth. Getting an anomaly scan procedure done is also an opportunity for the parents to see their child in the womb and have some beautiful memories to carry home.
When is an Anomaly Scan done?
An anomaly screening is done in the second trimester of pregnancy. This is when you are around 20 weeks into pregnancy. It can be done anytime between 18th and 23rd week of pregnancy. This 18 - 23 weeks pregnant ultrasound test helps ensure that the child’s growth is normal and all critical organs are developing correctly.
How to Prepare for an Anomaly Scan?
Getting an anomaly test during pregnancy is a normal process, and this does not require any special preparation. Here are a few tips that can make the scan quick, comfortable and efficient:
It is advised to relax before the scan. Reach the diagnostic centre early and get comfortable.
For this scan, it is best to have a full bladder when you come for the test, as the scan cannot be performed on an empty bladder. You might have to wait a bit longer if your bladder is not full enough.
Like most other routine pregnancy scans, even anomaly scan requires you to expose the tummy from belly button to the pubic bone and hence it is advised to wear clothing which can be easily adjusted. Also, high heels will have to be removed before the test, so it is best to avoid such footwear.
You might be required to remove any jewellery that is on your body during the scan.
Carry all your previous tests reports and medical records so that they are readily available if needed.
How is an Anomaly Scan Done?
The anomaly scan or the ultrasound scan uses sound waves to produce images inside the body. The sonographer will apply a water-based gel on the part which needs to be scanned and will use a transducer to collect the sound waves that bounce back. These waves will be used by the computer to create an image of your child. Usually, there is no radiation exposure in this process as the examination does not use ionising radiation. The scan does not hurt.
The anomaly scan takes about 20 minutes to complete, and the sonographer will usually allow you to have a look at the scan and point out to different parts of the child’s body as well as the heart-beat. The sonographer will not disclose the gender of your baby as India’s laws on pre-natal diagnostic techniques prohibit hospitals from doing so.
What can this Scan Detect?
The primary purpose of the scan is to ensure that the baby is growing well without abnormalities. The anomaly sonographer looks for the following things during the scan:
The sonographer will check if the baby’s heart is developing and functioning correctly. All the arteries and veins which carry blood to and fro from the heart shall be examined.
The baby’s face is checked for cleft lip. However, spotting a cleft lip is difficult and might not always be picked up during the scan.
The sonographer checks if your foetus has two kidneys and whether the bladder is getting filled or not. In case the bladder is empty at the beginning of the test, it should be easy to observe it getting filled during the scan.
The shape of your baby’s head is also checked, and brain problems, if any, are identified.
The sonographer also checks whether the baby’s spine is developing properly and whether the skin on the back covers it up properly.
The sonographer will also check your baby’s arms, legs, feet and hands to ensure that they are growing properly.
The abdominal wall will be checked to ensure that it covers all the organs in the front. The sonographer will also have a look at the baby's stomach.
The sonographer will check whether there is sufficient amniotic fluid around the baby to provide protection
The position of the placenta is also checked during the scan. In case the placenta is placed low in your uterus, your doctor will inform you of the same. This situation is known as placenta praevia, and another ultrasound is recommended in the third trimester to see whether the placenta has moved away from the cervix. A low lying placenta even in the third trimester might cause excessive bleeding during delivery, but a low lying placenta during 18-20 weeks of pregnancy is not a cause for concern.
The sonographer will also measure your baby’s body parts during the scan and compare this with the standard growth during that stage of pregnancy.
The sonographer will usually take anomaly scan measurements of the following:
Head circumference
Abdominal circumference
Thigh bone
What does an Anomaly Scan Reveal about the Baby?
The scan will show a black and white image of your baby. The scan performed is usually a 2D scan, and you can see only one side of your baby, but if you go for a 3D or a 4D scan, you can see a right image of your baby’s body and from different angles.
The scan will show a general situation of your child’s body. The sonographer will look into the growth of the baby and identify abnormalities (if any). The scan will help you determine if you have one or more babies and the sonographer will also take measurements of your baby’s body parts to ensure normal growth.
Can the Anomaly Scan Harm the Mother or the Baby?
Unlike X-rays, the ultrasound anomaly scan does not use ionizing radiation and hence is not harmful to the mother or the baby. Also, the sonographer takes precautions to ensure that the mother is comfortable during the scan.
The application of gel and usage of the transducer could make the scanning process a little uncomfortable, but it is not harmful or painful to get the scan done.
What is the Purpose of an Anomaly Scan?
The principal purpose of anomaly scan is to allow the sonographer to monitor the growth of the baby and determine the health of vital organs of the body and the structure of different body parts. The scan is used to identify and assess any significant abnormalities that the child may have in any of the body parts. Getting a mid-pregnancy ultrasound scan is recommended to monitor the well-being of the child.
The focus is usually on organs such as the brain, heart, kidneys, spinal cord and placenta placement in the womb.
What do the Anomaly Scan Results mean?
Anomaly scan results indicate the progress of the child in the womb and help in determining the growth graph of the child. The results will either show that the child is developing normally and as per the usual pace or it will throw up abnormalities if any. In case of defects, your doctor will discuss the corrective action that can be taken to solve any deviations of the child from regular growth graph.
Which Abnormalities are Detected in an Anomaly Scan?
There is a list of observations that the sonographer makes while doing the scan and covers the baby from tip to toe. The foetal abnormalities detected might be normal ones that can be treated after your child is born. If they are severe, they will require immediate action.
Here are some of the abnormalities that can be detected in anomaly scan:
Cleft lip
Spina bifida (defect of the spinal cord)
Heart problems
Kidney problems
Anencephaly, or missing the top of the head
Problems in the limbs (for example – too short limbs)
While the scan is done with the purpose of finding abnormalities, it is not easy to spot one in the baby. For example, if there is a problem with the abdominal wall, kidneys, limbs or spinal cord, there are good chances that the scan will detect them. But the likelihood of spotting defects in the heart, assessing if there is a hole in the muscle which separates the chest and abdomen, or detecting excess fluid build-up in the brain is comparatively less.
In case an abnormality is spotted, the sonographer might refer the report to another person to confirm the observation made and then discuss the plan of action to be followed.
Is an Anomaly Scan Accurate?
A mid-pregnancy ultrasound scan is very important as it will help determine the growth of the child and aid in early detection of abnormalities that the child might be developing. The anomaly scans are usually accurate and present a clear picture. However, it is not always necessary that scan is 100% accurate and shows correct results at all times.
This is because it is difficult to determine abnormalities in the baby, especially in the vital organs, and an anomaly scan may or may not show up the same. A sonographer may also need to scan the abdomen multiple times to get a clear picture of the baby. Usually, the parents are also asked to give consent of their understanding that results of the scan being performed might not be 100% accurate.
What if the Scan indicates a Problem?
Once again, it is essential to understand that an anomaly scan report is not always 100% accurate and the observations might not always be correct. Also, note that the chances of identifying a severe problem at this stage are rare. However, in case a problem is spotted, you will be given advice on how to deal with it and the steps you must take. In case any problem is identified, you can expect the following next steps:
There might be situations where the sonographer has not been able to see everything since your baby was not in a good position while the scan was being performed. Also, the scan might not be consistent if you are overweight as body fat can interfere with the sonography. In such situations, you might have to get the scan redone at the 23rd week
In case the sonographer finds or thinks that there is a problem, you will be informed immediately and it is recommended that you see a foetal medicine specialist within 72 hours of the scan result.
You might be asked to get a foetal echo scan done in case there is a suspicion of your baby having a heart problem. This scan will take a detailed look at your baby’s heart
Your doctor will recommend the suitable solution for the detected problem. This will depend on the severity of the problem and whether or not it requires intervention at this stage. The solution usually involves surgery to the child after birth. In case of severe problems, certain surgeries might also be performed while the child is in the womb.
Seeing your baby taking shape inside your womb is a unique experience for parents. In most cases, you are allowed to take your partner along with you to witness this moment. The diagnostic centres performing these scans usually offer pictures and video copies of the scan for you to carry back as memories.
Getting an anomaly scan is always advised as it plays a very important role in ensuring that the child’s growth is normal.

40 Weeks Pregnant and No Signs of Labour - Should You Worry?
The moment when a woman comes to know that she is pregnant, she cannot wait to hold her tiny baby in her arms. You eagerly wait for your baby to arrive and bear with all the complications that you come across during pregnancy. If you are 40 weeks pregnant, you must be all set to welcome your baby into this world. However, if at 40 weeks, there are no signs of labour then no doubt you will worry. But should you actually worry? Find out more on pregnancy at week 40 and what to do if there are no signs of labour.
40 Weeks Pregnant and No signs of Labour - Is it Normal?
As you enter the 40th week of pregnancy, you know that any day now your baby will be delivered. Hence, it is only normal to get restless but there is no need to panic. The good news is that you are not the only one sailing this boat. It has been observed that only 10 percent of babies are born on their due date and 90 percent babies are either born before or after their due date. Majority of babies take birth between 37 and 41 weeks of pregnancy. However, twins or multiple babies are usually born before 37 weeks. Also, the due date given by the doctor is just an estimated date, and it may vary as your pregnancy progresses, depending on the growth and development of your baby. In most cases, the baby may get born before 42 weeks of pregnancy. However, some babies are also born after 42 weeks, though the chances are extremely rare. Therefore, it is very normal to be in your 40th week of pregnancy and still not showing any signs of labour.
What You Can Do About It
If you have reached the 40 weeks mark of your pregnancy and the signs of labour are nowhere to be seen, then do not stress as it will only postpone labour. Instead, try this:
1. Relax
Yes, you have waited long enough and these 2 weeks must be making you restless but there is no need to panic or worry. The best you can do is relax and be patient. Try spending time with your friends or family members. Talk to them and enjoy some family time. Thinking about labour will only leave you stressed which does no good. So, take a warm bath, spend time with family and take ample rest.
2. Meditate
Meditation is a great way to calm and relax your mind and body. Meditation can help you a lot in managing stress. Sit in an open space or in natural surroundings and meditate. This will not only make you feel happy and relaxed, but it will help your baby feel relaxed too.
3. Rest and Sleep
The best way to get over your tension and worries is by sleeping and resting. A good 8 hours of sleep will relax and rejuvenate you and you will feel a lot more energised. When your baby arrives, your sleeping and resting schedule may go for a toss, so it is best to take rest now as much as possible.
4. Indulge in Your Hobbies
Pursue your hobbies while you can because once the baby arrives, you will have no time for that. It will shift your focus from the negative feelings that you might be having during this time. Therefore, it may be a good time to indulge in your favourite hobby, which is reading, painting, listening to music or any such activity that you enjoy doing.
These were some ways that help you relax, however, there are certain tricks that can help induce labour; know what these tricks are:
5. Climb Stairs
It may sound a bit strange, but climbing stairs may actually help in inducing labour soon. Climb stairs a few times; this may put pressure on your pelvis, and soon you may need to go for labour.
6. Try Acupressure
As per this technique, various pressure points in the body are pressed to help one heal. Not many know but acupressure helps promote labour, too. There are six major acupressure points on the body that help in inducing labour. If pressed correctly, the signs of labour start within 1 to 4 days of acupressure massage.
7. Have Sex
Yes, it is true! Indulge in sex with your partner and soon your baby will be ready for arrival. The orgasm that you experience helps trigger the contractions and the prostaglandins present in semen also induce labour during the later stages of pregnancy.
8. Try Nipple Stimulation
Although it is a bit uncomfortable, nipple stimulation is a great way to induce labour. If you find it painful or uncomfortable, you can use a breast pump to do the stimulating action for you. This helps in releasing oxytocin, a hormone that is responsible for bringing contractions and hence you may soon go into labour.
40 Weeks and No Signs of Labour - Does it Indicate a C-section?
If you have not gone into labour until 40 weeks of pregnancy, then it bound to make you worry. Some women also think that they may have to undergo a c-section. But a C-section is not only related to delayed labour, but it could be because of various other pregnancy complications. For example, your doctor may suggest for a c-section, in case of a high-risk pregnancy, if your baby’s weight is more, etc. But yes, your doctor may suggest for a caesarean delivery if you are more than 41 weeks pregnant with no apparent signs of labour like no contractions, no dilation of the cervix, etc.
Your ETD or expected date of delivery is just an estimation, and no one can exactly tell when the baby will be delivered. So, there is no need to worry. All you can do it wait and if you have any concerns or worry regarding labour, talk to your doctor about the same.

मेरी नन्ही सी जान के आने की आहट और उसके आने के बाद तक का सुहाना सफर
मेरी नन्ही सी जान के आने की आहट जिस दिन हुई मेरी ज़िन्दगी का यक़ीनन सबसे खूबसूरत दिन था वो, जब हमारे सपनों को एक जीवन मिलने कि खुशखबरी मिली थी। और फिर बस पल-पल इंतज़ार में कटने लगा कि कब तुम आओ मेरी गोद में, तुम्हे छूकर महसूस कर सकूं और ये सपना एक शक्ल, एक आकार ले ले। और फिर कभी मुश्किल तो कभी हँसते हुए वो दिन बीतने लगे। तुम्हे अपने भीतर महसूस करना, मेरे लिए ख़ुशी के साथ अनूठा अनुभव भी था कि मैं एक जीवन को दुनिया में ला सकती हूँ ।शायद माँ बनने वाली हर स्त्री इस अनुभव से गुजरती होगी और इन्ही भावनाओं को महसूस भी करती होगी।
तुम्हारे इंतज़ार की घड़ियाँ भी यूँ धीरे-धीरे गुजर रही थीं मानो हमारे सब्र का इम्तिहान ले रही हों पर फिर भी इस इंतज़ार का भी अपना ही मज़ा था। और फिर वो सुनहरा दिन भी आया जब तुम हमारी छोटी सी दुनिया को गुलज़ार करने आईं....हमारी नन्ही सी परी...वो सारे पल आज भी यादों की पोटली में से बाहर निकल आते हैं यूँ जैसे कि कल की ही तो बात हो। तुम आईं और जब पहली बार तुमको मैंने अपने हाथों में लिया, तुमको छुआ, तुम्हारा वो पहला मख़मली,मुलायम स्पर्श, वो मासूमियत से तुम्हारा बड़ी-बड़ी आँखों से टुकुर-टुकुर इधर-उधर ताकना जैसे कि तुमने भी हमारी तरह ही बहुत इंतज़ार किया था हमारी ही तरह इस दुनिया में आने का, हमसे मिलने का और अब सब कुछ जल्दी-जल्दी देख लेना चाहती हो। आज भी सब कुछ तरोताज़ा है जहन में पर सच में बेहद मुश्किल है उन भावनाओं को यूँ शब्दों में पिरोना। सपना जब शक्ल लेकर आपके सामने आ जाये,साकार हो जाये वो ख़ुशी दी तुमने मुझे।तुम मेरी बाँहों में थीं और ये यकीन करना मुश्किल था कि तुमको मैंने रचा है।जाने कब मेरी ऑंखें ख़ुशी से भर आईं।
और फिर शुरू हुई एक नयी खुशियों भरी कहानी जिसमें तुम्हारे रोने पर मुझे भी रोना आ जाता और तुम्हारे हँसने पर मैं भी खिलखिला पड़ती थी| तुम पर ही मेरी ज़िन्दगी केंद्रित हो गई थी। और माँ बन जाने के एहसास ने और कई एहसासों से तो नवाज़ा ही मुझे पर एक ज़िम्मेदारी भी आ गई मुझमे कि प्रकृति ने माँ की एक ऐसी भूमिका सौंपी थी मुझे, जिसमें ज़िम्मेदारियाँ भरपूर थीं और जिसमें कोई भी माँ खुद को हारते या फेल होते हुए नहीं देख सकती। और यही सब मेरे साथ भी शुरू हुआ खुशियों के साथ ज़िम्मेदारियाँ भी पूरी करनी थीं मुझे। एक फ्रॉक भी लेना हो तो सोचती कही से मेरी नन्ही सी जान को चुभेगी तो नहीं। तुम्हारे आने के पहले तो बाजार में बच्चों की हर मिलने वाली चीज़ सुन्दर ही लगती थी।सोचती थी तुम्हारे लिए क्या न ले लूँ। पर तुम्हारे आते ही सारा नजरिया ही बदल गया मेरा। मेरी बच्ची को किसी चीज़ से खरोंच भी न लगे, ये चीज़ ले रही हूँ तो सबसे सौम्य-मुलायम और नुकसानदायक तो बिलकुल न हो।
चीज़ों के लेबल तक पढ़ने लगी कि बच्चों के लिए ये चीज़ सुरक्षित है या नहीं? तुम्हारे खिलौने, कपड़े, खाना-पीना सब कुछ बहुत ही सावधानी से करती। तुम्हारी एक छींक भी जैसे ज़िन्दगी में तूफ़ान ला देती कि क्या गलती हुई जो मेरी बच्ची को ऐसे हो गया।पर माँ तो ऐसी ही होती है न ।तुम्हारे साथ न जाने कब दिन महीनों में बदलने लगे थे मैं भी तुम्हारे साथ ही माँ के रूप में बढ़ रही थी। तुम्हारा पलटना शुरू हुआ और मेरा डर बढ़ा बेड पर ही नहीं बेड के चारों तरफ के फ्लोर पर भी तकिये और कुशन की संख्या बढ़ने लगी फिर भी तुम कभी-कभी गिर ही जातीं और तुम्हारे रोने पर मेरा भी रोना छूट जाता।
और तुम जब घुटनो पर चली तो तुम्हारी पहुँच का दायरा भी बढ़ा जो भी कुछ सामने आता तुम्हारे, मुँह में तुम उसे उठाकर डालती थीं फिर तो ड्रेसिंग टेबल हो या फिर और कोई जगहें सब सामान से ख़ाली होने लगीं कि तुम सुरक्षित रहो कहीं कुछ खुद को ही किसी चीज़ से नुकसान न पहुंचा दो। और तुम्हारे साथ ही अपना ध्यान भी मैं पहले से ज्यादा रखने लगी कि मुझे मजबूत होना ही चाहिए तुम्हारी देखभाल जो करनी थी और उसमे कोई कमी तो नहीं कर सकती थी सो मैं भी खुद को भी स्वस्थ और फिट रखने के जतन पहले से ज्यादा करने लगी थी।
कभी इंटरनेट पर खोजती, कभी तुम्हारी दादी-नानी से नुस्खे पूछती फिरती थी जिससे तुमको कोई इन्फेक्शन न हो,तुम बीमार न पड़ो।ये कोशिशें कामयाब भी हुई काफी हद तक तुमसे प्यार जो था और ये सब तो करना ही था आखिर अपनी जान से कौन नहीं प्यार करता।
शायद हर माँ बच्चे के आने पर ऐसी ही बन जाती होगी सुपरमॉम टाइप्स और बच्चे के लिए क्या सही क्या गलत इसी उधेड़बुन में रात दिन रहती है। और हाँ ये भी सोचती है कि जब बेबी बड़ा होगा तो थोड़ा आराम मिलेगा,ज़िम्मेदारियाँ कम होंगी। पर कहाँ जी? ज़िम्मेदारियाँ तो समय के साथ बढ़ती ही जातीं हैं और इनके साथ ही माँ-बच्चे का प्यार-दुलार भी बढ़ता जाता है शायद इसलिए ही तो माँ और बच्चे का रिश्ता दुनिया का सबसे करीबी,प्यारा और खूबसूरत रिश्ता माना जाता है।

Kids please don’t hate us and please understand parents are not enemies!!!
Ekansh was angry at me. He gave me a bad look and walked
towards the bedroom. I followed him back. He sat on the bed and started crying
and mumbling, I used my sharp ears and heard what he said. Ekansh was saying,
“God, I don’t want this family. I want another family. These people hate me.
Please God, find another family for me.” When I heard this my eyes were filled
with tears and why not? Being just six years old you suddenly want another
family? I went inside the room and asked, “Why do you want another family?” By
suddenly seeing me in the room he got scared but then asked me to go out of the
room, but I refused and insisted on him. He said he is angry because I
complained to his dad about him and his dad beat him up. Oh, so that was the
reason. I understood. I wanted to explain to him everything but that time he
wasn’t in the mood so I let go of that moment. My heart was continuously
shouting from inside that, my baby, we are not your enemies, we are your
well-wishers. It was Sunday, after crying a lot yesterday night my cutie
pie just woke up. He almost had forgotten what happened yesterday. I was happy
to see that. Ekansh was just lying on the bed and he saw a wrapped gift next to
him. He cheered up loudly and opened the gift. It was his favorite car, his dad
gifted him. He went out of the room and hugged his daddy with a lot of love. I
asked him about his yesterday’s tantrums but he said to leave that topic now as
he got a gift. Later, by mid of the day, I thought of talking to Ekansh. I
walked towards him; he was playing with a car. I said, Ekansh, I need to speak
with you.” I started explaining to him that we are parents are not enemies. We indeed shout or we beat our children’s but it doesn’t
happen without a reason. No, not. As a parent, we have a lot of expectations
from our kids the same way they expect tons of things. Kids expect we should
buy new toys, games, clothes, shoes, accessories, stationary’s. We should take
them to movies, for a picnic, to their friends, and parties. And as a parent, we
try our best to provide them almost everything on behalf of what? On behalf of
good behavior, good discipline, good results in exams, healthy food habits,
hygiene, responsibility. Yes, as a parent we look at all such factors in our
kid but are it for our good? If the kid will do well in exams he will have a
bright future, if he will maintain good and hygiene then it will make him
healthy for the future, if he will behave well then the society will accept
him, he will be a good human being. So where are the parents benefit? Every parent has their way, culture and society to raise the
kid with but kids don’t understand all this and very easily they give a tag of
the enemy to their parents. Kids feel that a parent should never say no to them
and just do what the kid wants. But will be harmful to the kid too. Tomorrow if
parents will stop interfering in the kid’s life then it’s a high possibility of
that kid to take the wrong decision. Of course not purposely but being
nonexperience he or she can go on the wrong path or it may lead to some bad
experiences like if a kid is already on the healthier side but keep eating all
fatty foods if a parent won’t stop that kid will not stop watching TV or
mobile, and so on. Parents do a lot of scarifies in their life and give the best
to the kid. It’s not necessary that all parents earn very well or they have
tons of money, a lot of parents compromise to fulfill the kid's dreams. Parents
also feel that they should have a relaxed life but they do everything best,
like if a kid is not well then even parents have sleepless nights, they have
rounds to the doctors, they search the best school even the fees goes high,
they make their kids join a lot of hobby classes even they have to rush after
office, they spend a lot of money on birthday parties, schoolings, and fun
activities, etc. Just that kid doesn’t realize all this. It’s very easy to be a kid but it’s very difficult to be a
parent. So it’s a request to all the kids please don’t hate us and please
understand parents are not enemies!!!

A. It’s fine it should come out into the poop of your child within 24 to 48 hours a lot of mishaps happened with kids these days but these things since they are not edible they do not get digested which is why they come out into the motion
