My wife is 12 weeks pregnant. I was not able to take her outside for USG due to Covid 19. Can I delay her USG till lockdown is over, or should do her 1st USG immediately? Please help.

NT scan if possible get it done if not possible get early anamoly scan at 16-17 wks and Qudraple marker test.
In this lockdown this can be done. But how the baby is inside only ultrasound can say

At 12 week u have to do a level 1 scan which is the 1st anomaly scan. It tells us if the baby is forming normally or not. It cannot be done after dis. So if possible plz get the scan done. As 2 nd anomaly scan is done at 20 wks.
Next Steps
Level 1 NT NB scan
