Scans

Asking because of what was said at my 20 week scan today and it’s just made me think now. Do we not get any other scans now?🤔 The way the woman said it to me was almost like unless something is wrong, baby is too small for example, then there won’t be any others. Is this right?

Yes that’s right x

Yep unfortunately, unless it’s needed you only get 2 free scans on the NHS, which is why alot of people get private scans after the 20 weeks one xx

Unfortunately true

Yes that’s correct. I’ve got another one scheduled for 32 weeks because my cords missing an artery so they need to check babies growth but otherwise that’d be it. Mad really. From this point they estimate growth from measuring belly which is not particularly accurate x

Yes that's correct. I have a 32/36/40 week ones to check for growth as I have a risk of FGR.

That’s crazy to me! I would have thought you would have got at least one more between now and when baby is due!🤯

Yes that’s correct but you will have more regular midwife appointment from 28 weeks and they will check babies heartbeat and measure bump growth every time. Any concerns and they’ll book you in for another. X

I thimk it depends what borough you are in because the borough I’m in we get our 12, 20 and 36 week scans so we get the 3 and any others if high risk as well.

Yep, unless they find a problem. If your belly measurements don’t track the growth chart they will also send you in for a growth scan. (Or, sometimes, if they think baby is breach when they should have turned). But otherwise 20 weeks is it.
