What is a Foetal Well-being Ultrasound?
The Foetal well-being scan or also called as growth scan or positioning scan is usually taken when the mother is between 23 and 40 weeks of pregnancy. It is used to check how well the baby is growing and the position of the uterus(womb). It measures the size of the head, the abdomen, and legs to evaluate the weight of the baby. During the scan doctors observe or measure the baby’s head, abdomen, thigh bone, assess the amount of amniotic fluid around the baby, observe the baby’s activity, measure the blood flow into the umbilical cord and record the position of the placenta. All the measurements are plotted on a chart against the normal range and to assess the foetal growth. The Foetal well-being Ultrasound can detect a baby’s well-being by measuring his biophysical profile like: stretches and flexes, moves his/her arms and legs frequently, opens and closes his/her hand and breathing movements.
Why is a Foetal Well-being Ultrasound done?
A Foetal Well-being Ultrasound is done to monitor the health and development of the foetus during pregnancy. This type of ultrasound provides critical information about the baby’s growth, development, and overall well-being. Here are the main reasons why it’s conducted:
- Check foetal Growth: It measures the size of the foetus to ensure it’s growing at a normal rate.
- Assess Amniotic Fluid Levels: The ultrasound helps check whether there is a normal amount of amniotic fluid, which is important for the baby’s development.
- Detecting Congenital Anomalies: It can identify any physical abnormalities or birth defects, like issues with the heart, brain, spine, or other organs.
- Placental Health: The ultrasound checks the position and health of the placenta, ensuring it is functioning properly and providing enough oxygen and nutrients to the foetus.
- Foetal Movements and Heart Rate: The scan helps assess the baby’s movements, breathing, and heart rate to determine if everything is functioning normally.
- Check Foetal Position: The position of the baby (whether head-down, breech, etc.) is noted, which is important for planning delivery.
- Monitor Multiple Pregnancies: In the case of twins or triplets, it helps track the development of each baby individually.
- Detecting Signs of Distress: If there are any concerns about the baby’s health, such as lack of movement or poor growth, the ultrasound can help identify potential issues.
