Specialist in Growth Scan

A Growth Scan is an essential ultrasound examination performed between 28 to 40 weeks of pregnancy to monitor the development and growth of your baby. This scan provides important information about the baby’s growth rate, amniotic fluid levels, and the condition of the placenta. At Rushika Scans & Diagnostics, we offer detailed and accurate Growth Scans using advanced ultrasound technology, ensuring that your baby’s development is progressing healthily and as expected. Our expert team, led by Dr. B. madhavi Poola, is committed to providing comprehensive care and peace of mind during the final stages of pregnancy.

What Does a Growth Scan Include?

• Fetal Growth Assessment: This scan checks the baby’s size, weight, and measurements, comparing them to average growth charts to ensure that your baby is growing at a healthy rate.
• Amniotic Fluid Check: The scan measures the amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby, ensuring there is a healthy balance of fluid, which is crucial for fetal development.

• Placenta Position: The scan assesses the position of the placenta, checking for potential issues like placenta previa, where the placenta covers the cervix, which could complicate delivery.
• Fetal Well-being: The scan helps detect any signs of fetal distress or other complications, such as restricted growth, which may require closer monitoring.
• Assessing Fetal Organs: A detailed examination of key organs like the heart, kidneys, and brain is carried out to check for any abnormalities or issues.
• Blood Flow to the Baby: The scan assesses the blood flow to the baby, helping detect any potential issues related to the baby’s nourishment or oxygen supply.

When Should You Book Your Growth Scan?

• 28 to 40 weeks of pregnancy: A Growth Scan is typically performed during this period to closely monitor the baby’s growth and overall health, ensuring that there are no issues in the final stages of pregnancy.
• Additional Scans: In some cases, your doctor may recommend additional Growth Scans if there are concerns about fetal growth or placental function.
