Internal Growth Scan in Pregnancy

Internal Growth Scan in Pregnancy

An internal growth scan in pregnancy is a normal ultrasound checkup that the gynaecologist performs on the mothers between 28 to 30 weeks. It helps the doctor assess the whole situation and thus predict the health and growth of the baby. It checks if the baby is growing healthy and if it is prone to any inborn illnesses.

How is an Internal Growth Scan Performed?

• Using the image displayed on the screen, the doctor will assess the baby's breathing, movement, and other vital signs.
  
• In order to evaluate whether the baby is developing normally within the womb, the doctor also takes measurements of the baby's head (HC) and belly (AC).
  
• It is possible to tell whether the baby is breech, cephalic, or transverse.
  
• By measuring the fluid, the amniotic fluid index can be determined. The scan must be performed more frequently if the baby is bigger or smaller than expected because abnormally high amounts of amniotic fluid.
  
• It is possible to gauge the maturity or position of the placenta.
  

Why is it Important and What Does it Show?

By keeping track of the baby's weight and other physical characteristics, calculating the amount of amniotic fluid present, examining the placenta's position and maturity, the umbilical cord's position, and the baby's health and circulation, a growth scan can be used to determine whether the baby is healthy.

Additionally, a previous caesarean scar can be shown. Multiple pregnancy monitoring is another use for it.

The growth scan report is a crucial tool for expecting parents to use to learn how their unborn child is progressing within the womb and to feel more at ease.
