A physical abnormality means that part of the baby’s body looks different from what is expected. Examples of physical abnormalities are spina bifida (an open spine), an open skull, hydrocephalus, heart defects, a hole in the diaphragm, a hole in the abdomen, structural abnormalities of the kidneys, and structural abnormalities of the bones. The 13-week scan can be performed from twelve weeks and three days up to and including fourteen weeks and three days of pregnancy. The 20-week scan can be performed from week 18 up to and including 21 weeks and zero days of pregnancy. In the Netherlands, you can only opt to have the 13-week scan if you are participating in the scientific IMITAS study.
