Level 2 ultrasound

I have one scheduled for April 14th. Never had to have one with my last pregnancy. Is there a difference between this and the regular 20 week scan? What do they do differently? Just curious. Tia!

I had a level 2 for the first time last week. Honestly, I did not find there to be much difference other than I had to go to another facility for it. The Dr says it is more detailed though and better equipment. I have to go back in a few weeks because my little girl was not cooperating so they couldn't get all of the images that they needed. I think they will do some 3D/4D too, but probably more of the face and stuff, which she would not show!!

My doctor always does a level 2 for the anatomy scan. I only know bc I had to ask bc of other issues and needed a level 2. And because she wasn't cooperating now She gets an echocardiogram this week and another level 2 in 2 more weeks.

The only thing that seemed different to me was the picture quality. It was much higher resolution.

Picture quality was way better and it allows them to see bone and tissue in more detail. No difference for you though. This is one from my level 2 that was done 2 weeks ago. Look how much more you can see actual bones and such.
