Growth scans

I will most likely ask them this when I go but I’m due 3 more growth scans as my little girl snuck below the 10th percentile but this baby is already a lot bigger, if he’s growing okay will they still continue with the growth scans?

You can always decline growth scans - you don't need to have them. 🙂 I think once growth scans are part of your pathway, they will continue to be offered even if all looks good. x

@Claudia Ah I never knew that! Thankyou :) x

@Georgia I’m having them (2 more planned) even though on last 2 she’s on 79th Centile. Personally I wouldn’t decline, it’s a good way of monitoring your baby and get to see them again and check all good with the placenta x

@Charlotte Definitely! Baby boy is already double her weight so I was wondering if they’d still offer me them, Thankyou x

Yes they will still continue, you can decline however an extra scans is always a good thing! It's a great way to monitor your baby. I'm having extra scans because my first was a small baby, and I'm actually grateful I'm able to have these extra ones! X

@R 🪬 Thankyou!! Xx

Yes they will still continue. As growth restriction can start suddenly at any time. My baby is growing as expected this time after a previous low birth weight baby. However with my daughter she stopped growing at some point after 20 weeks (will never know when as had no further scans after 20 weeks with her) so this time they will continue until the end pretty much.

@Rebecca Yes that’s what happened with my daughter, stopped growing at 36-38 then induced the following week🥲 Thankyou x
