What to expect at growth scan?

Question

At 36 weeks they will do a growth scan... what is this really for and what happens? What do you “learn” from this and might they change the due date?

Answer

Usually doesn’t change the due date they look for head, belly and femur measurements, make sure the baby is head down, weight, fluid levels and make sure the placenta is looking good. Sorta like the anatomy scan but not as long

Answer

It takes about 45 minutes. They measure EVERYTHING. Aside from measuring they also look for baby to make certain movements and to practice breathing. Similar to an anatomy scan but a bit more in-depth.
