The TIFFA (Targeted Imaging for Fetal Anomalies) scan performed between weeks 18 and 22 is a detailed ultrasound that meticulously examines the baby's anatomical development, including the heart, brain, spine, kidneys, and limbs.
Immediate medical attention is required if you experience vaginal bleeding, sudden leakage of fluid, severe abdominal pain, persistent severe headaches with blurred vision, sudden swelling of face/hands, or reduced fetal movements in the third trimester.
