Growth and Doppler Scan
at My Little Love Ultrasound Studio

A Growth and Doppler Scan is a vital prenatal procedure that monitors your baby’s development and ensures their well-being during the later stages of pregnancy. At My Little Love Scan Studio, we combine advanced technology with expert care to provide detailed insights into your baby’s health, giving you peace of mind as you prepare to meet your little one.

What Is a Growth and Doppler Scan?

This scan is a combination of two ultrasound procedures:

Growth Scan

Measures the size of your baby, including the head, abdomen, upper arm and thigh bones.
Estimates your baby’s weight.
Monitors the amount of amniotic fluid and observes your baby’s movements to ensure they’re active and healthy.

Doppler Scan

Uses sound waves to measure blood flow in the baby’s umbilical cord
Evaluates whether the baby is receiving adequate oxygen and nutrients from the placenta.

Together, these scans provide a comprehensive view of your baby’s growth and wellbeing.

When Is a Growth and Doppler Scan Performed?

These scans are usually conducted during the third trimester, typically from 24 weeks of pregnancy. The number of scans needed will depend on your clinical needs as assessed by your healthcare provider

Why Is a Growth and Doppler Scan Important?

These scans are essential for ensuring your baby is developing properly and receiving the care they need. They can:

Confirm that your baby is growing at the expected rate.
Detect potential issues with blood flow or oxygen delivery.
Assess the risk of preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication related to high blood pressure.

What to Expect During the Scan

Here’s what you can anticipate during your Growth and Doppler Scan appointment:

Relaxed Setting – You’ll lie on an exam bed while a trained sonographer applies gel to your abdomen for clear imaging.

Comprehensive Assessment – The sonographer will use an ultrasound transducer to measure your baby’s size, movement, and blood flow.

Real-Time Results – You’ll get immediate insights into your baby’s growth and health, and your healthcare provider will discuss any follow-up care or additional testing if needed.

How Many Scans Will I Need?

The number of Growth and Doppler Scans you’ll need depends on your individual pregnancy. Some mothers may require multiple scans to monitor high-risk pregnancies or specific medical concerns, while others may need only one.
