Any more scans??

Question

I'm 21 weeks pregnant now , last weeks is had my 20 week scan everything was fine. But will i have any more scans in the UK??

Answer

It depends really. Generally no- you only have a 12 week and 20 week.
Unless your midwife feels the need to refer you for any growth scans OR if you have gestational diabetes.

Answer

Unless baby is measuring small or they have any concerns no.

Answer

Think it depends on your hospital.  I was booked in for a scan at 36 weeks although didn’t make it that far as my daughter arrived early

Answer

I had scans at 5, 7, 12, 20 weeks. And booked for 28 and 32 weeks as well.
The 5 and 7 week was because they suspected an entropic pregnancy.
The 12, 20 and 28 week ones are the normal schedule at my hospital.
The 32 week is to make sure my placenta, which is low right now, has moved to a correct place for a vaginal birth, if it hasn't I'll probably need a c-section.
So I think it depends on your hospital, maybe they have different guidelines for different types of mothers, I'm thinking first child and risk factors like weight, medical conditions  and age?

Answer

I had my first scan 14weeks 21weeks and my 3rd scan at 36weeks

Answer

Not unless your a high risk or increased surveillance. I was last time because my bmi was 0.3 below what it needed to be and I am this time as bmi is 0.7 under. If they have any issues with growth like too big or too small then you will.

Answer

With my daughter I had 3 scans one at 12, 20 and 36 weeks. Maybe it depends what area you're in but with my son I was having them every month because of being high risk with gestational diabetes

Answer

Only if there are concerns. I had a few extra after 20 weeks to check the position of my placenta to make sure a vaginal birth was safe and the other was to check babies growth. 
If you do want additional scans there’s loads of places that do them privately.

Answer

Not unless something unusual happens

Answer

If everything goes smoothly that should be you done
