They check out all the little bits of your baby including spine, heart, valves, kidneys functioning, lips , gender if they can and if you want to know. It called the annomaly / morphology scan.
They really like to them betwwen 19 & 20 weeks as they need to look at a particular part of the heart during that gestation stage and this window offers them the best view, before the baby grows to much bigger, I think by memory ( I have had 3 ) they can only see the part of the heart during this stage before the valve closes / opens ....
Hope it goes well for you

you have probably booked by now but I had mine at 18w 3 days by my LMP and 18w 6d by conception date (scan actually showed that bubs was measuring to the 18w 6d)
She got all she needed, checked EVERYTHING, she had a checklist that she had to complete.
