Scan of the Week: Waving Hand!

This adorable scan shows a baby at 22 weeks "waving hello" during a Detailed Anomaly Scan - commonly called the "20 Week Scan."

The Detailed Anomaly Scan

This examination is very comprehensive and evaluates numerous fetal structures including:

  • Organs - internal organ development
  • Cardiovascular system - heart and blood vessels
  • Skeletal elements - bones and spine
  • Limbs - arms, legs, hands, and feet
  • Face and brain - detailed assessment

Babies Have Personality!

Even before birth, babies show their unique personalities. During scans you might see them:

  • Waving their hands
  • Sucking their thumbs
  • Yawning or stretching
  • Kicking and rolling
  • Covering their face

The Joy of Movement

Feeling and seeing your baby move is one of the most magical parts of pregnancy. At 22 weeks, movements are becoming stronger and more coordinated.

Capturing These Moments

Our scans provide photos and videos so you can keep these precious moments forever.
