Fetal Welfare Scan

Sometimes extra reassurance is necessary should there be concerns about the welfare of your baby within the womb.

Common reasons for requesting this type of scan would be if you have had usual pain in the tummy, vaginal bleeding, your baby has been moving less, you may have had a fall or been involved in a traffic accident.

At this type of scan:

• The growth measurements mentioned above are performed, your placenta is examined and the amount of fluid around your baby is checked
• The baby’s movements will be checked
• Blood flow studies in the umbilical artery and other places in your baby’s circulation will be checked
