I haven’t had a scan since 20 weeks as there hasn’t been any need. Do I get another one nearer the end or is this just it now if there’s no complications?

Within the NHS they don’t offer scans after 20 weeks if there’s no risks identified. It’s just ongoing support and appointments through your midwife x

Thanks! How will they know which way up he is nearer the time? Feeling him?

Check with your hospital. A lot of hospitals do offer a routine scan around 36 weeks, people that don’t get it just think nobody gets one though so will always tell you there’s nothing after 20 weeks x

I thought that was it too, just 2, but recently been sent an appointment for one at 36weeks. Ask your midwife.

Check with your hospital but I get another between 35-37 weeks x

Think of it as a good thing. I’ve had to have an extra 4 so far including an internal scan 🫣 for multiple diff things like my placenta position, growth & baby being breach. It’s so tiring sitting in the hospital waiting about but at the same time I’m happy they’re checking she’s ok. If you’re ever worried just phone triage or book in for a quick private scan for your own peace of mind x
