What are Fetal Wellbeing Scans?

Fetal wellbeing scans, also known as prenatal ultrasounds, use high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of your developing baby inside the womb. These scans allow doctors to assess various aspects of fetal health, including:

Growth and development

Monitoring the baby's size, weight, and key milestones in development.

Amniotic fluid level

Ensuring adequate fluid surrounds the baby for optimal growth and development.

Fetal position

Determining the baby's position in the uterus, especially crucial towards the end of pregnancy.

Multiple pregnancies

Monitoring the health and development of twins, triplets, or other multiples.

Potential abnormalities

While uncommon, scans can sometimes detect potential birth defects or structural concerns.

Types of Fetal Wellbeing Scans Offered at Parvathi Hospital:

Early pregnancy scans (6-12 weeks): Confirming pregnancy viability, checking for a fetal heartbeat, and dating the pregnancy.
Nuchal translucency scan (11-14 weeks): Combined with a blood test, this scan helps assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome.
Anatomy scans (18-22 weeks): Detailed evaluation of the baby's organs, limbs, and overall development.
Growth scans (later trimesters): Monitoring fetal growth, amniotic fluid levels, and placental health.
Doppler scans: Assessing blood flow through the umbilical cord and baby's blood vessels to identify potential growth concerns.

Benefits of Fetal Wellbeing Scans:

Early detection of potential issues: Early identification of concerns allows for further evaluation and timely intervention if needed.
Peace of mind: Regular scans offer reassurance about your baby's development and well-being.
Informed decision-making: Scans can provide valuable information to guide prenatal care decisions.

Ultrasound scans are considered a safe and non-invasive procedure for both mother and baby.

03. What should I expect during a fetal wellbeing scan?

You will likely be asked to lie down with your abdomen exposed. A gel is applied to your abdomen, and a transducer is used to create ultrasound images on a screen. The sonographer will explain the scan and answer any questions you may have.
