| MORPHOLOGY SCAN |
As foetuses reach 18 to 20 weeks and 6 days, morphology scan is done to check its anatomical structure. Assessment starts from the head. If lobes are equally in position, and if each structure is symmetrical. Thickness of the neck is considered and if nasal bone shows any deviation that may lead to a cleft lip and/or cleft palate. The vital organs such as the lungs, heart, kidneys, stomach and the rest of the important blood vessels that connect them are checked also. The fingers and the toes are counted if complete and if the length of the fetus is in accordance to the calculated age in weeks.
Ours was truly amazing to witness. So much so for the diagnosis that everything is normal plus the condition of the cord and the placenta were also good. The happiness I felt in seeing that everything falls into place as we observe all of these is priceless. I would like to thank God and still uplift to Him all that is yet to happen.
