Ultrasound scans are a way of assessing the wellbeing of the baby. Although most babies are normal, all women - whatever their age - have a small chance of delivering a baby with a physical and/or mental handicap. Ultrasound scans can help pick up some of these problems antenatally. Some physical abnormalities (such as Spina Bifida) may be picked up by scan at 22 weeks. In addition ultrasound may sometimes show features in a baby, which do not necessarily cause problems themselves, but may be linked to an underlying cause (such as Down’s syndrome).

Fetal well-being scan 24-41 weeks (Third trimester)

This scan aims to assess how well the baby is growing. We can also evaluate placental location and amniotic fluid volume.

  • Measurement of the fetal head, abdomen and thigh bone are undertaken to monitor your baby's growth and estimate the fetal weight.
  • Evaluation of the amniotic fluid volume.
  • Assessment of baby's movement.
  • Placental location and appearance.
  • Use of colour Doppler to assess blood flow from the placenta to the baby.
  • Use of colour Doppler to assess fetal blood flow (when indicated)
