Dr. Neha
1. The first scan is to confirm pregnancy. Typically between 7 and 9 weeks
2. NT scan to ensure the heart and circulation of the baby is normal. This is done at 10 to 13 weeks and is correlated with Double or Triple markers tests
3. Anomaly Scan done at 20 weeks where the sobologist closely monitors growth of baby, placenta and umbilical cord. This scan takes time because the sonologist needs to measure major bones, head circumference, watch circulation and heart, etc.
4. Growth scan at 28 weeks. Again to monitor growth of baby closely.
These are compulsory scans. Apart from this the doctor may recommend a scan at 32 weeks, 36 weeks ( to determine position of baby). Thereafter every 2 weeks till birth ( so 1 or 2 more scans but these are not compulsory and are more dependent on need of the doctor).

It depends on your pregnancy
1. Confirmation of pregnancy scan
2. NT scan; between 9 to 12 weeks
3 . Anomoly scan between 18 to 22 weeks
4 Growth scan around 32 weeks.
These are the scans for normal pregnancy if the doctor thinks you need more scan n monitoring then she will do according to it.
