what are the reasons for growth sccans?

Some places do it as routine. My hospital scans everyone at 32 weeks to check growth. But some places only do it if there's a reason to believe baby will be big/small. It's much more accurate later on in pregnancy as 20 week scan might not show if baby will end up bigger or smaller than average x

I wish they did those round here, my friend recently had her baby full term and she was only 4lb 6oz, but nobody can explain why, so I think everywhere should do them just to make sure all is ok.
But ignoring all that, enjoy seeing your LO again tomorrow!

I have them as diabetic when pregnant x so they have to check on growth all way through from 28-36 weeks x

I am having a growth scan because my bmi is just over 35, so need to check baby isn't growing too big! Love the fact I get 2 extra scans though xx

im soo jealous i want an extra one xxx

I think they are starting to introduce them as routine everywhere but some places are just a bit slower! Well that's what my midwife and the sonographer said!
It makes sense to do them really as anything could happen between week 20 and week 40! xx

oh i see thankyou. I would like another but here in oxford they dont do them unless your on a research study or the baby is little. My bmi is 30 (they checked it when i was 4 months and i had put on weight) and i am measuring bigger so i may get one. They couldnt tell me what i was having aswell at 20 weekone.
