Growth scan and reduced movements
Show your support
Hey I’ve been in with reduced movements twice and I’ve had a scan the following day both times, which has mainly been to check the placenta and cord, blood flow etc. I think it’s just precaution and an extra safety step now because scans provide more info than the monitoring xx
Thanks so much girls, I had a growth scan this week (unrelated to reduced movements) so the doctor said he was happy to book in a scan for 2 weeks time to monitor instead of next week, so I took that as a positive!
I think it differs from hospitals too but definitely sounds like nothing to worry about and like they are looking after you and baby x
It’s so hard not to panic isn’t it, I was convinced the doctor wasn’t telling me something but my husband was like, that’s not how hospitals work 🤦🏽♀️😂
Where I am if you have two reduced movements within 21 days they send you for a scan :) I’ve had this twice and both times everything has been fine. Just think of it as another in-depth scan to see baby 🩷🩵
Thank you! I’m just such an overthinker now we’re in the last few weeks! So ready for baby to be here now!
I'm pretty sure if you have two or more episodes of reduced movements they send you for a growth scan. That's the way it works in my trust anyway. I'm sure it's absolutely nothing to worry about. Normally a growth scan is done by a consultant so it's just to keep a closer eye on things.
