Well-being & Growth Scan: 24-40 Weeks

A Well-being & Growth Scan, also known as a growth or fetal well-being scan, is typically performed in the later stages of pregnancy, between 24 and 40 weeks. This scan provides valuable insights into your baby’s growth, position, and overall health. Here are the main benefits of the Well-being & Growth Scan:

• Growth Assessment: The scan tracks your baby’s growth and size to ensure proper development and identify any potential issues.
• Complication Detection: It helps identify conditions like intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) or macrosomia (excessive growth), enabling early intervention if needed.
• Baby’s Position: The scan reveals your baby’s position in the uterus, which is crucial as your due date approaches and may influence delivery plans.
• Placental Health: The scan evaluates the placenta’s function, ensuring it’s providing sufficient nutrients and oxygen to the baby.
• Amniotic Fluid Levels: The scan checks the levels of amniotic fluid around the baby, as abnormal fluid levels could indicate potential complications.
• Fetal Health: Beyond growth, the scan monitors fetal movement, heart rate, and breathing to assess the baby’s overall health.
• Multiple Gestations: For parents expecting twins or multiples, the scan tracks the growth and development of each baby individually.
• Reassurance: This scan provides peace of mind for parents, offering confirmation of the baby’s health and development during the final stages of pregnancy.
• Delivery Planning: The results help healthcare providers plan a safe and appropriate delivery, particularly if there are concerns about the baby’s growth or position.
• Accurate Due Date Confirmation: Late-stage scans offer a more accurate due date, especially for those with uncertain conception dates or irregular cycles.
• Memories and Keepsakes: Many parents appreciate having additional ultrasound images to remember the later stages of their pregnancy.
• Communication with Healthcare Providers: The scan’s results enable healthcare providers to make informed decisions regarding necessary interventions, if required.

It’s essential for Well-being & Growth Scans to be performed by trained professionals who can accurately interpret the results and offer guidance based on the findings. These scans are crucial for ensuring the health and well-being of both mother and baby as pregnancy progresses towards delivery.
