These scans measure your baby’s size, check their growth pattern, and ensure that the fetal environment remains healthy. With consultant-led care from DrDr Devi Subramanian, growth scans are performed with precision, clinical insight, and a personalised approach designed to support your pregnancy at every stage.
Growth scans are typically carried out between 24 and 40 weeks of pregnancy. Unlike early scans that focus on viability or anatomy, growth scans provide key information about how your baby is developing over time. They assess estimated fetal weight, fluid levels, placental function, and fetal movements—giving a comprehensive picture of your baby’s wellbeing.
During a growth scan, several important measurements are taken
These measurements allow the consultant to track your baby’s growth against standardised charts. A single scan provides a snapshot, while repeated scans help identify trends—whether your baby is growing steadily, growing too quickly, or not growing as expected.
Growth scans provide reassurance for women with both low-risk and high-risk pregnancies. They are especially beneficial for women with
Even in completely healthy pregnancies, parents often choose growth scans to gain peace of mind and see their baby’s progress up close.
One of the key advantages of growth scans conducted by a consultant obstetrician is the depth of expertise behind the interpretation. If any unusual findings arise—such as growth restriction, macrosomia, low fluid levels, or abnormal Doppler readings—Dr Subramanian can immediately provide clinical management, initiate further tests, or increase monitoring frequency.
The scan concludes with a thorough explanation of the findings, including your baby's estimated weight, growth percentile, and any recommendations for follow-up. If additional monitoring is needed, a schedule is created to ensure close surveillance of your baby's health.
Growth scans also contribute significantly to birth planning. For example
This means growth scans directly support safer decision-making around labour and delivery.
Parents value these appointments not only for the medical insight but also for the emotional reassurance. Watching your baby’s movement, heartbeat, and development helps strengthen the connection and provides comfort during the later stages of pregnancy.
Whether you need a single reassurance scan or a full programme of fetal growth monitoring, you can feel confident knowing that your baby’s development is being carefully tracked by an experienced fetal medicine specialist.
