Times Future of Maternity Summit: A Unique Opportunity for Couples to Ask Pregnancy Scan Questions Directly to Experts

For couples whose pregnancy has been recently confirmed, the Times Future of Maternity Summit and Expo (TFM 2026) offers a valuable opportunity. Scheduled for 28 March 2026 in Delhi-NCR, this event will allow couples to directly interact with experts and get their questions answered regarding pregnancy scans and fetal development.

Key Highlights:

• Access detailed information on pregnancy scans
• Interact directly with gynecologists and fertility specialists
• Organized by Times Internet in collaboration with Pregatips

During pregnancy, doctors recommend different ultrasound tests at various stages. These scans provide crucial insights into fetal growth, position, nutrition, and overall development, as well as detect any genetic abnormalities. Consequently, these scans are considered essential.

However, many couples often have questions such as: Which scan provides what information? When should each scan be performed? To address these concerns, couples can join the Times Future of Maternity Summit and Expo (TFM 2026) on 28 March, where they can discuss their doubts directly with gynecologists and fertility experts.

Before attending the summit, understanding the different pregnancy scans can help couples prepare their questions for the experts.

Five Key Pregnancy Scans

1. Dating Scan
   Performed between the 6th and 10th weeks of pregnancy, the dating scan helps determine the gestational age, estimated delivery date, and crucially, the baby’s heartbeat. It also confirms whether there is a single baby or twins.

Questions to ask experts: Has the heartbeat been detected? Is there a single baby or multiples? What are the options if the heartbeat is not detected?

2. NT-NB Scan (Nuchal Translucency & Nasal Bone)
   This Level 1 sonography is usually done between 11–14 weeks. It assesses the risk of genetic and chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome and Edwards syndrome.

Questions to ask experts: If a potential genetic condition is detected, what steps or further tests should be considered?

3. Anomaly Scan
   Typically performed between 18–22 weeks, also called Level 2 scan, it provides a detailed view of the baby’s organs, including the brain, heart, spine, kidneys, and limbs. It checks for congenital abnormalities and ensures proper blood supply to the baby.

Questions to ask experts: What are the risks of skipping this scan? Does it provide complete information on the development of all organs?

4. Growth Scan
   Conducted between 28–32 weeks, this scan monitors fetal growth, weight, amniotic fluid levels, and fetal position, ensuring that the baby is developing properly.
5. Color Doppler Scan
   Recommended in certain high-risk pregnancies, this scan examines blood flow to the fetus, helping assess the baby’s health and development.

Questions to ask experts: What measures can be taken if amniotic fluid is low? Can dietary adjustments help improve amniotic fluid levels?
