32/36 weeks scan UK

Could you book a private scan? I got regular growth scans from 28 weeks because of my age rather than the IVF.

This doesn’t sound right! I’m having growth scans for IVF and I had at 32 and I have next week for 36. It may differ based on location? But I definitely have x

If it was a normally conception they wouldn’t offer additional scans unless they felt it was needed so tha would make it difference if it was an IVF pregnancy.

I did have regular scans as they thought my baby was big, I was suspected to have diabetes, I had a haematoma and my baby was breach at one point but had nothing to do with it being an IVF pregnancy.

I’m getting the extra scans not because of IVF, but because of IVF + fibroids that they want to monitor. So if IVF is the only factor, then you’re low risk and don’t need them. However, they may offer additional ones if there’s anything before then that they want to monitor, eg low lying placenta or as Amanda says, big/small baby or diabetes

If you want the assurance and can afford it, private scans are great as it’s less medical and you can ask to see particular things, have it in 4D, have more people attend if you wanted.

I had extra scans, but mine was due to having miscarriages and then IC. They said if it was just down to ivf I wouldn't have them because my pregnancy was originally low risk.
