Monitoring fetal growth is particularly important in pregnancies where the baby may be smaller or larger than expected or where placental function may be compromised.
Growth scans assess fetal size, estimated weight, amniotic fluid and overall growth pattern. Doppler ultrasound evaluates blood flow through selected fetal and placental vessels and can provide information about placental function and fetal wellbeing.
Fetal growth restriction occurs when a baby does not achieve expected growth during pregnancy. Regular ultrasound measurements and Doppler studies can help identify growth concerns and guide the timing and frequency of follow-up.
Selected high-risk pregnancies may require serial growth scans and Doppler assessment to monitor fetal wellbeing and help guide decisions regarding continued pregnancy or delivery.
