The "good" month for a pregnancy scan depends on the type of scan being performed.
Based on the provided reference, there isn't one single "good" month, but rather specific timeframes (expressed in weeks of gestation) that are optimal for certain scans:
-
Early Pregnancy Scan (Dating/Booking Scan): This scan is typically offered between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, the month that is "good" for this scan would depend on when the pregnancy began. As a general guideline, this could fall in the second or third month of pregnancy, depending on when conception occurred.
-
Mid-Pregnancy Scan (Fetal Anomaly Scan): This scan is usually performed between 18 and 21 weeks of pregnancy. Again, the specific month depends on the pregnancy's start date, but it generally falls in the fourth or fifth month.
Therefore, there's no single "best" month overall; it depends on which scan is being discussed. The "good" time is determined by the gestational age (weeks) and the specific purpose of the scan.
