Would You Like A Growth Scan for the Third Trimester?
A growth scan also known as a positioning or well-being scan, gives you the peace of mind you need. If there are concerns about the size or growth of your unborn child, especially in cases of suspected growth limitations, or diabetes, a fetal growth scan is recommended. The evaluation includes looking and measuring the unborn baby’s amniotic fluid, a doppler study, and measurements of the baby’s head, belly girth, and the length of their thigh bone.
A pregnancy growth scan, otherwise known as a fetal growth scan, is a prenatal ultrasound examination that assesses the size and development of the unborn baby. This scan is typically performed in the later stages of pregnancy, usually during the third trimester. The objective is to monitor the baby’s growth, assess the amniotic fluid levels, examine the placenta, and check blood flow in the umbilical cord.
It is usually performed between 24 to 38 weeks of pregnancy, though clarity of 2D images may vary.
Growth scans provide valuable information for monitoring the well-being of the baby and may assist in making informed decisions about the pregnancy.
