I am now one hour and 28 minutes away from my level II ultrasound* and I am getting more and more anxious... Will my baby be OK? Will I be able to - finally - picture her as a healthy baby? Am I going to be able to enjoy my pregnancy, once and for all? Is my anxiety level going to either disappear or at a minimum go down? * The level II ultrasound is also called a targeted ultrasound, because it refers to a 'targeted' examination of the fetus – this is possible because those u/s are much more accurate than standard screening ultrasounds. “Level II ultrasounds are typically conducted by a perinatologist, fetal medicine specialist, or someone else who specializes in high-risk pregnancies and who is trained to look for the markers of chromosomal disorders.” Level II ultrasounds look for structural markers are abnormalities in organ and bone formation.
