What happens during an anatomy scan?

Any Questions? A Podcast About Conception, Pregnancy and Realistic Motherhood

Show Notes

Before I jump into the anatomy scan experience (also known as the detailed ultrasound, mid-pregnancy ultrasound or anomaly scan), I share some listener feedback and rant way too long about boundaries in friendship and offering support to those who are struggling.

(If the rant isn't for you, feel free to skip to about the 22 minute mark to get to the anatomy scan stuff. Sorry!)

Once I (finally) get onto the scan, I talk about my experience doing the scan twice, what you need to know beforehand, tips to prep and what to ask your care providers.
