There’s a moment when the pregnancy test turns positive, and your whole world changes. Excitement, nervousness, and a million questions flood in—especially about the tests and scans.

If you're confused about which scan happens when, you’re not alone. Let’s walk through it together, just like a friend would explain.

 

First Scan (6 to 9 Weeks)

Why it matters:

• Confirms you're actually pregnant

• Checks if the pregnancy is in the uterus (and not ectopic)

• Measures the baby and gives you your due date

It’s usually a short scan, but emotionally, it’s a big one. Hearing that tiny heartbeat—sometimes for the first time—is a moment most moms never forget.

At Maternite Hospital, we see it all the time—smiles, tears, relief. That’s what makes this scan so special.

 

NT Scan (11 to 14 Weeks)

This one checks for early signs of chromosomal conditions like Down syndrome. It’s called the Nuchal Translucency scan, but don’t let the name scare you. It’s just another way to make sure your baby is developing well.

It’s painless. No needles. Just a regular ultrasound.

 

Anomaly Scan (18 to 22 Weeks)

This is the big one—where you get a detailed look at your baby’s organs, spine, brain, and limbs.
It’s long and thorough. And honestly, it’s also a moment of joy. You’ll see your baby moving, maybe sucking their thumb, or stretching.

This scan tells your doctor if everything’s on track—or if any extra care might be needed.

Many moms tell us they start bonding deeply with their baby after this scan. That’s why we take our time and explain everything clearly—one more reason why Maternite is known as the best hospital for pregnancy in Jaipur.

 

Growth Scans (Around 28 Weeks and After)

These are done in the last trimester.
Your doctor may want to keep an eye on:

• Your baby’s size
• Position (head-down is ideal)
• Amniotic fluid level
• Placenta health

Not every mom needs these, but if you have gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, or twins—your doctor may suggest a few more.

 

Final Thought: Don’t Just Scan. Understand.

Each scan has a reason. It’s not about “doing more tests.” It’s about knowing your baby, week by week.

And honestly, the doctor you choose makes all the difference. At Maternite, our doctors don’t rush you. They explain every detail and treat you like family. That’s why moms say we have the best maternity doctor in Jaipur.
