A comprehensive anatomical evaluation of your developing baby — typically performed between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy. Combines medical diagnostic precision with the warmth of seeing your baby up close. Performed by ARDMS-certified sonographers.
The anatomy ultrasound — sometimes called the 'mid-pregnancy ultrasound' or 'level 2 ultrasound' — is a detailed evaluation of your baby's development. It's a meaningful milestone in pregnancy: a chance to confirm everything is developing as expected while also experiencing one of the most memorable moments of your pregnancy journey.
