The scanning services are available at several clinics in and nearby Reading but we at Baby Scan Clinic Milton Keynes thrive to deliver world-class premium quality services to the patient. Having a child for the first time is a great experience but there may be a bunch of questions in the mind of the mother and the family. The staff at the clinic are trained extensively so that they can answer any query and the patients can also go through the blogs of the clinic on the official website. The pregnant mum is advised to take prenatal vitamins and folic acid supplements to support the diet. The absence of folic acid leads to birth defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly. This leads to paralysis of the legs and
incomplete development of the spinal cord and brain. The safety and the well-being of the baby and the mother are put on the priority list. The scans are of five different types done at different stages of the pregnancy. The Nuchal Translucency scan is done to find out if there is an extra pair of the chromosome at position twenty-one. This birth defect affects facial features, intellectual and developmental abilities are also affected. Birth defects such as spina bifida or heart problems are easily detected by this scan done at twenty weeks of pregnancy. The child with Down Syndrome can be helped with therapies but cannot be cured. The clinic uses the latest private technology available to provide the patients with world-class service at 4D Baby Scan Clinic Milton Keynes.
The pregnancy scans done are of the following types:
· The first scan is done when the pregnancy is of six weeks. At this stage the yolk sac and the gestational sac are present. The fetus derives the nutrition from the yolk sac at an early stage. If the scan is done at an early stage the gestational sac is seen empty. The location and the number of pregnancies can be ascertained from this scan.
· The second scan is done when the pregnancy is of sixteen weeks and the gender of the baby can also be determined by this scan. The arms, legs, and feet can be seen developing at this stage as minute features.
· The next scan is done at twenty-four weeks. The location of the baby and the placenta can be determined from this scan at Ultrasound Baby Scanning Services Milton Keynes
· The next scan is done at twenty-six weeks when the systems are fully developed. The urinary and the blood circulatory systems are functioning at this stage.The growth and development of the baby can be determined from this scan.
