Pregnancy Ultrasound & Scans in Delhi

Dating, NT, anomaly, growth and Doppler scans performed by the treating consultant.

What pregnancy ultrasound & scans involves

Each pregnancy scan answers specific questions at a specific gestation. The dating scan confirms viability and due date; the NT scan assesses chromosomal risk; the anomaly scan examines fetal structure in detail; growth scans track size and placental function.

Dr. Tiwari performs these scans herself, which means findings are explained during the scan rather than delivered days later in a report you cannot interpret.

Who this is for

  • Confirming an early pregnancy and its due date
  • First-trimester screening between 11 and 13 weeks
  • Detailed anomaly assessment at 18–20 weeks
  • Growth, liquor and Doppler assessment in the third trimester

Not everything on this list means you need this treatment. The workup comes first, and the recommendation follows from what it shows — not from what was booked before you arrived.

Step by step

  1. Dating scan

    7–9 weeks: viability, heartbeat, number of fetuses and accurate dating.

  2. NT scan

    11–13 weeks: nuchal translucency with dual marker for chromosomal risk.

  3. Anomaly scan

    18–20 weeks: a systematic structural survey of the fetus.

  4. Growth and Doppler

    From 28 weeks: estimated weight, amniotic fluid and umbilical artery flow.

Your results, in writing

Whatever the outcome of pregnancy ultrasound & scans, you leave each stage with the findings written down — what was done, what was found, what it means, and what the options are from here. Reports are issued the same day wherever the laboratory allows it.

Case study: A placenta praevia found before it bled

29, New Friends Colony · second pregnancy · previous caesarean

What she came in with

A routine anomaly scan at 19 weeks in an otherwise unremarkable pregnancy. She had had one previous caesarean section.

What the workup showed

The placenta was anterior and covering the internal os. With a previous caesarean this raises the question of placenta accreta spectrum — placental tissue invading the old scar — which is the single most dangerous obstetric complication of a scarred uterus.

What we did

Serial scans at 28 and 32 weeks confirmed persistent praevia, with colour Doppler and a dedicated accreta assessment showing loss of the clear zone and bridging vessels. Delivery was planned at 36 weeks in a hospital setting with blood products cross-matched and a multidisciplinary team briefed.

Outcome

An elective caesarean at 36 weeks with the team assembled and blood available. Accreta was confirmed and managed in a controlled setting rather than as an emergency haemorrhage.

The point of this case

The difference between a planned accreta delivery and an unplanned one is measured in litres of blood. A 19-week scan bought seventeen weeks of preparation.

Illustrative case. This is a composite of presentations commonly seen in this practice, written for explanation — it is not the record of an identifiable patient, and no individual's details are used. Outcomes vary, and nothing here is a prediction of what will happen in your case.

What is different about having this done here

Scans performed by your own consultant, not a separate sonologist

Findings explained while you are in the room

PNDT-compliant — sex determination is illegal and is never done

Reports issued the same day

Treated by the consultant, not by a rotating team

Dr. Tiwari performs the scans, the procedure and the follow-up herself, and looks after any pregnancy that results. Over a long treatment course that continuity is the difference between being known and being processed.

Questions about pregnancy ultrasound & scans

Are ultrasounds safe in pregnancy?

Yes. Diagnostic obstetric ultrasound has been used for decades with no demonstrated harm.

Can you tell me the baby's sex?

No. Prenatal sex determination is a criminal offence in India under the PC-PNDT Act, and we comply with it absolutely.
