I am 22 weeks pregnant and my doctor reccomended that I have an anomoly screen. I have had 4 babies and 3 previous c-sections and a history of placenta previa and I know they want to do another sono to check my placenta to see if it is over the scar tissue or starting to come through the scar tissue and I am a little scared. Has anyone else had one of these done? What is the difference between this and a regular sono? I know it is done in the form of a sono and I tried to google it to get a better idea and can't find anything on it. Also does anyone know the accuracy rate of this test? Thank-you in advance for all of your answers.

there is no difference its the same type of scan they just need to check if your placenta is blocking anything which i had in my first pregnancy
i guess because you have already had 3 c-sections that they need to keep an eye on it because 3 sections is meant to be the limit maybe your a high risk
you really need to ask your doctor these things if your not sure

Its just a normal scan but checking for anything that will have the potential to disrupt your delivery or pregnancy. Take it easy, relax and have the scan. Its obviously in your and your baby's best interest to have it done.
Its not like an amnio or anything, just a regular scan but more in depth.
Good luck and congrats on baby no5!
