Also known as the third trimester scan or the well-being scan.
The growth scan is an extra ultrasound requested by your doctor for specific reasons.
A growth scan is performed to monitor your baby's development. This scan is usually requested by your GP or specialist.
- If you're considered high-risk for preterm birth
- If you have diabetes
- If you have had a previous baby with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
- If you have twins or triplets
We'll also check the weight of your baby, look for low-lying placenta, check any structural abnormalities and clarify anything outstanding from the Morphology.
