Pregnancy Ultrasound (USG Anti Scan) in Raipur: Price and Guide

Quick answer: A pregnancy ultrasound, listed at Ruprela as the USG Anti Scan, helps your obstetrician check that the pregnancy is progressing well, including the baby's heartbeat, growth, position, placenta and fluid. It currently costs ₹2,000 in Raipur. Carry your doctor's referral, a photo ID and earlier reports. Sex determination is illegal and never done.

Why are ultrasound scans done during pregnancy?

Ultrasound uses sound waves, not radiation, to create live images of the baby and the womb. Your obstetrician decides how many scans you need and when, based on your health and the stage of pregnancy. Depending on timing, a pregnancy ultrasound can help to:

• Confirm that the pregnancy is inside the womb.
• Check the baby's heartbeat.
• Find out whether there is one baby or more.
• Estimate how many weeks pregnant you are and the expected date of delivery.
• Check the baby's growth and position as the pregnancy advances.
• Look at the position of the placenta and the amount of amniotic fluid.

These details help your doctor plan your care, decide on follow-up visits and prepare for a safe delivery. At Ruprela, sonography is performed personally by radiologists.

What is the difference between the Anti Scan, Anomaly Scan and 3D / 4D USG?

Ruprela lists three pregnancy ultrasounds. Here are the current prices:

• USG Anti Scan: a pregnancy ultrasound to check the pregnancy's progress, as advised by your doctor at different stages.
• USG Anomaly Scan: a detailed look at the baby's organs and development, commonly done in the second trimester at a time your obstetrician decides.
• 3D / 4D USG: three-dimensional and moving images, which add to but do not replace the scans your doctor advises.

Your referral slip will mention which scan your doctor wants. If you are unsure, show it to our staff when you call.

What should I carry for a pregnancy ultrasound?

• Doctor's referral slip: required for pregnancy scans.
• Photo ID: such as an Aadhaar card, for the legal form filled for every pregnancy scan.
• Previous scan reports and blood test reports: so findings can be compared.
• Date of your last menstrual period: if you know it.
• Comfortable two-piece clothing: so the lower abdomen can be reached easily.

How should I prepare for the scan?

Preparation depends on how far along you are. In early pregnancy, you may be asked to come with a comfortably full bladder, as this can give a clearer view of the womb. Later in pregnancy, a full bladder is usually not needed. Our team will tell you exactly what to do when you book. You can eat normally unless told otherwise. USG reports are usually ready the same day.

Important: Prenatal sex determination is illegal under the PC-PNDT Act and is never done at Ruprela. Please do not ask for it. As required by law, a form (Form F) is filled for every pregnancy scan, so carry your doctor's referral slip and a photo ID.
