When Can I Have the Wellbeing Scan?

• The Wellbeing Scan—often also called the Growth Scan—is performed from 24 to 26 weeks of pregnancy and can be conducted up to term.
• This scan is ideally repeated later in pregnancy to monitor ongoing growth and development, especially from 28 weeks onwards when fetal weight is best predicted.

Why Should I Have a Wellbeing Scan?

• We believe every woman should have a Wellbeing Scan to confirm that the baby is growing at a normal rate and that there are no complications.
• This scan provides reassurance about the progress of your pregnancy and helps in planning for any necessary interventions if issues are detected.

What Does the Wellbeing Scan Check For?

Our Wellbeing Scan is a thorough evaluation of fetal growth and maternal health, including:

• Fetal Measurements
• Head Circumference (HC)
• Abdominal Circumference (AC)
• Femur Length (FL)
• These measurements are used to calculate an Estimated Fetal Weight (EFW), which is most accurate from 28 weeks onwards.
• Fetal Movements
• We assess the baby’s movements to ensure they are active and responsive.
• Placental Evaluation
• We examine the position and appearance of the placenta to ensure it is functioning well.
• Colour Doppler Ultrasound is used to assess blood flow to both the placenta and the fetus, ensuring adequate oxygen and nutrient delivery.
• Amniotic Fluid Measurement
• The amount of amniotic fluid is checked to ensure it is within a healthy range, which is essential for fetal development.

What to Expect During Your Wellbeing Scan

1. Initial Consultation & Health History
• You’ll begin with a discussion about your pregnancy history, current health, and any concerns you may have.
• Our obstetrician will explain the scan process, including what measurements will be taken and what the results mean.
2. Ultrasound Examination
• You will lie comfortably on an examination couch, with a water-based gel applied to your abdomen.
• Our skilled sonographer will use advanced ultrasound equipment to capture detailed images of your baby, placenta, and amniotic fluid.
• Key measurements such as the HC, AC, and FL will be taken to assess growth, and these are used to calculate an EFW from 28 weeks onwards.
3. Results & Discussion
• After the scan, you’ll receive clear, prompt feedback on your baby’s growth and overall health.
• Your consultant will explain the findings, discuss any areas that may need further monitoring or investigation, and answer any questions you have.
