At Emirates Hospitals, we understand the importance of monitoring your baby’s health throughout your pregnancy. A fetal growth scan, also known as a fetal wellbeing scan or reassurance scan, is a painless prenatal procedure offered by our expert team that uses ultrasound technology to assess your baby’s development.
Fetal growth scans are typically performed during the third trimester, between 24 and 40 weeks of pregnancy, at Emirates Hospitals. The exact timing may vary depending on your individual circumstances and your doctor’s recommendations.Some common reasons for scheduling a growth scan at Emirates Hospitals include:
At Emirates Hospitals, a fetal growth scan is a straightforward and painless procedure. To ensure clear images, you might be advised to drink plenty of water beforehand. During the scan, a highly trained sonographer will apply gel on your abdomen and gently move a transducer over the area. This transducer emits sound waves that create images of your baby on a screen. The entire scan typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes. While the sonographer may offer some initial observations, your doctor at Emirates Hospitals will thoroughly analyze the scan results and discuss them with you in detail at a later appointment.
A growth scan at Emirates Hospitals offers a wealth of information about your baby’s well-being, including:
While the scan offers valuable insights, it’s important to remember that it’s a snapshot of your baby’s health at that specific time. If there are any concerns identified during the scan, your doctor at Emirates Hospitals will discuss further monitoring or tests as needed.
