Growth Scans (14-24 weeks)
Growth scans however will assess not only fetal size but also other aspects of fetal wellbeing such as the amniotic fluid volume.
We routinely assess:
• Head Circumference (HC)
• Femur Length (FL)
• Amniotic Fluid
• Placental location
• Viability (heartbeat)
• Some major abnormalities may also be seen
• Gender (sex of baby) is optional
Most Growth scans are carried out transabdominally (through the tummy) with an abdominal probe and a full bladder is helpful.
As well as being scanned by one of our expert sonographers, all our patients will have access to Dr Bryan Beattie, Consultant in Fetal Medicine, for further advice should any problems arise.
We will also give you some black and white photographs of your scan.
