At Grosvenor Gardens Healthcare, located in Belgravia and Dulwich, London, we provide comprehensive fetal growth scans to monitor the development of your baby. These scans are an essential part of antenatal care, particularly in the second and third trimesters, ensuring that your baby is growing healthily and identifying any potential concerns early.
Understanding Fetal Growth Scans
Fetal growth scans are typically performed from 26 weeks onwards to assess the size and health of the foetus. These scans measure the baby’s head, abdomen, and femur length, as well as estimate foetal weight and evaluate the amount of amniotic fluid, placental position, and blood flow through various vessels.
