FAQ answered - Wellbeing Baby Growth Scan questions
What is a Baby Growth Scan?
Baby Wellbeing or Baby Growth scan is an ultrasound scan measuring baby’s growth and development during the third trimester, usually, although it could be done earlier if there are any concerns or parents-to-be just wish to be reassured that everything is as should be.
It is performed between weeks 24-40 of the pregnancy and it is not usually offered on the NHS, except for when there are particular concerns over the baby measuring too small or too big during the routine 20 Week Anatomy scan.
Baby Wellbeing or Growth scan would be particularly important for women who might have had a history of premature delivery, gestational diabetes, maternal type 1 diabetes or maternal type 2 diabetes, problems with thyroid or a risk of pre-eclampsia.
