Would you like to check just how well your baby is growing?

Also known as a wellbeing or positioning scan, a private Growth Scan from Ultrasound Plus will providing you with the reassurance you need.

The foetal growth scan is particularly useful when there is any concern about the growth/size of your baby, especially for women when have had complications, growth restriction or diabetes. Your baby’s head, abdomen, thigh bone will be assessed, alongside the amount of amniotic fluid, doppler study and weight of baby at current gestation.

As this scan is available up to 36 weeks gestation, depending on the baby’s size, the 2D images you receive with this scan may not always be as clear. Therefore, if you’re most interested in the images, we recommend booking this appointment sooner rather than later.

All of our scans are performed by professional sonographers who also work at the NHS, so you can be sure you will be in good hands. We advise that anything found during your private growth scan is reported to your GP/Healthcare provider.

What is the purpose of a growth scan?

During your third trimester, you may be wondering just how big your baby is getting. A growth scan, offered between 24 to 36 weeks gestation assesses the baby’s head, abdomen and femur. It will then estimate the baby’s foetal weight, and measure how much amniotic fluid surrounds the baby. Your placental position will also be identified and a doppler study is available upon request. We can also let you know your baby’s gender during your scan if you would like this.

“We have now had 3 scans at the Brentwood branch, and the staff are lovely! This has been our favourite private clinic.. the sonographer Teresa is lovely, she explains everything in so much detail and doesn’t rush through the scan! No doubt we will be back again before our baby comes.”
