Frequently Asked Questions
How many scans are needed during pregnancy?
Most pregnancies involve a few key scans — typically a dating scan, an anomaly scan, and growth scans later if needed. The number depends on your pregnancy; your doctor advises which scans are recommended and when.
When is the anomaly scan done?
The anomaly (mid-pregnancy) scan is usually carried out around 18—20 weeks. It checks the baby's development and anatomy in detail. Your doctor explains the findings and any follow-up needed.
What does a growth scan check?
A growth scan measures the baby's size and estimates weight, checks the amniotic fluid, and can assess blood flow. It is used to monitor the baby's wellbeing, particularly in later pregnancy or when closer monitoring is needed.
Are pregnancy ultrasounds safe?
Ultrasound has been used in pregnancy for decades and is considered safe when done for medical reasons by trained professionals. It uses sound waves, not radiation. Scans are recommended only when they are useful for your care.
What should I expect during a pregnancy scan?
A scan is usually quick and painless. A probe is moved over your abdomen (or, early on, a small internal probe may be used) to produce images of the baby. Your doctor explains what the scan shows.
