Fetal Growth Assessment

Every pregnancy is unique. Some babies grow quickly, others take their time. What matters is that they’re developing in a healthy, steady way. A fetal growth assessment helps us check that everything is on track, not just with size, but with your baby’s wellbeing, the placenta, and amniotic fluid levels.

If you’ve had a previous small or large baby, high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, or just a feeling that something isn’t quite right, this scan gives us deeper insight, without assumptions.

What We Look At During This Scan

This scan is typically done in the second or third trimester, depending on your situation. It focuses on several key areas:

  • Baby’s weight and size estimates based on head, abdomen, and limb measurements
  • Growth patterns over time (especially important if you’ve had previous scans)
  • Placenta health and position
  • Amniotic fluid levels — too little or too much can affect growth
  • Blood flow patterns using Doppler, if needed

This isn’t just about numbers. It’s about understanding the full picture of how your baby is developing and what support might be needed.

Our Approach

We know that any mention of “growth concerns” can trigger worry. That’s why we handle these appointments gently, without panic, pressure, or unnecessary interventions. We take our time to explain what we see in words that make sense. You’ll never leave with just a report, you’ll leave with understanding.

We also offer growth tracking over multiple visits if needed, so we can watch how things change and support you in real-time.

When Is Growth Assessment Recommended?

You may be advised to have this scan if:

  • Your baby is measuring smaller or larger than expected
  • You’ve had a previous low birth weight or preterm delivery
  • There are concerns about the placenta or amniotic fluid
  • You have medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure
  • Your fundal height (uterus size) doesn’t match your weeks of pregnancy

Or simply, if you want reassurance that things are moving in the right direction.

Why Early Growth Assessment Matters

Sometimes, problems with growth begin long before they’re noticeable from the outside. An early scan helps us detect these subtle changes,  like reduced blood flow, placental inefficiency, or fluid imbalance, at a stage where we have more time and more options to intervene gently.

Early assessments also help us set a reliable baseline, so future scans are easier to compare and interpret. Whether it’s your first scan or a follow-up, the goal is always the same: to protect both you and your baby by staying one step ahead.
