Scans

You only usually get 2 on NHS so that's great that you've been offered a 3rd.

Yeah it’s normally the 12 week and 20 week on the NHS.

For some trusts, 3 is standard (like mine), others it’s just the 2.
If you’re having more, it’s usually because there’s a need to monitor baby.
They’ll check baby’s growth and presentation at your 36 week scan.

Regular growth scans are only needed if you are high-risk and consultant led. I have a scan every 2-3 weeks because I have a 10cm fibroid, so they need to ensure its not impacting babies growth. Otherwise, standard midwife led is just 12 and 20 weeks. Sometimes at 36 in some trusts :)

Same with me

Yea i have one at 36 weeks too, not everywhere does a third but some hospitals do

I had my third scan last week and a fourth due when I am 36 weeks. Am currently 33 +5. My last scan showed the baby is measuring small, so they told me that if in three weeks nothing changes, I will have to deliver her.

Yes that’s right it’s a growth scan at 36 weeks xx

I have had the same it's totally normal to have 3 scans , 12 wks 20wks and 35 wks some NHS trusts don't do 3 some do 3 only for your first providing your not high risk some only do 2.

Ive had 3 on NHS
1 at my 12 weeks
2 at my 20 weeks & the 3rd was at my 31 weeks due to having a growth scan due to my belly weighing big but baby is absolutely fine.

Mine does 3 as standard so they can check everything is the right way up before birth etc.

At mine we only get 2 initially but at my last midwife appointment got told it’s routine from this year to get an additional one at 32 weeks. More a growth scan to see baby how there growing etc
