How many scans??

Iv got another booked for 36 weeks. Had a 36 one with my first baby too. Maybe depends on the trust xx

That’s it for most trusts, unless you need extra for medical reasons / growth scans

Nope I was told that's it too! I'm booking a private for 28 I think to see baby and 3d scan again x

Yeah you only get 2 scans on the NHS, your early pregnancy scan (dating/booking scan) then your detailed scan (also known as fetal anomaly scan) but I have an anterior placenta so I am to get a scan at 32 weeks and 34/36 weeks to monitor this. If you choose to do a gender scan, that gets done privately but they measure your baby’s head circumference, you can listen to baby’s heartbeat & get printed scan images. X

I’ve never heard of extra scans for an anterior placenta? I had one last pregnancy and this pregnancy and no one was bothered.
Is yours low down?

Goodness me. It's not much, is it? Thank you all. Wasn't sure if I was meant to call to book or if it was intentional. Think I will be having a private one closer to my due date. I'm less anxious now that I feel baby moving every 1-2hours but still want to make sure everything's going well x

yeah mines really low down and below required measurement x

No more scans unless needed. For example high risk, low placenta etc. x

I was told I get the 12 week scan & 20 week scan through the NHS then unless you have a high risk pregnancy or pay for a private scan then that’s all! After my 20 week scan I had that ‘oh is that it’ sort of feeling😂x

its because everything is formed and developed at the 20 week stage normally so there’s no real need for more scans unless of course of complications x

I have 4 more nhs scans but am high risk as type 1 diabetic. So I am not really sure what's normal.
Also have a 4d scan booked a week before Xmas for my partner to get a Teddy bless his heart he is super excited x

That's it for most people unless there's anything they need to recheck or any concerns later on

yh.. it sort of feels like a cliffhanger. "Are you sure we're done here?" 🤔

@Chelsea webster understandable.. but how are we meant to know if there's complications without doing a scan to check?

thats what the 20 week scan is for then you’ll know after if something isn’t right x
