20 Week scan
Hi ladies
We have our 20 week scan tomorrow and was just wondering if you could let me know all the things they checked for at yours?
Want to make sure they don't miss anything! (esp after they missed debris in the amniotic fluid which was picked up at a private scan....but that's another story)
Thanks, NN 20+4 xxx

They will check everything out at your scan tomorrow - all the organs to make sure everything is in the right place and functioning properly. They will take measurements like they have before, to make sure the growth is on track. Check the spine, limbs, hands, feet, facial features. Basically a big check of everything! Then if there is no reason for concern they should send you on your way, without calling you back for any more scans. Some places take a urine sample (mine didn't bother :evil: ) so personally I would ask for this if they don't so you are checked for proteins or sugars in your urine. Same thing with your bloods (again, they didn't bother at mine!!)

Sim - how are you and Brody doing? Hope you are both keeping well ) I am seeing my MW on Wednesday too so will take a sample there. Don't think I'm due any more bloods until either 24 or 28 weeks...can't remember which. We also have a growth scan at just over 26 weeks as we're consultant led. It's sad but you have to keep on top of the Drs and nurses sometimes! :roll:

1.Check that your baby is developing normally.
2.Have a look at where the placenta is lying in your uterus
3.Check there is only one baby (!!)
4.Check the sex
5.Check the spine
6.Check the face and head
7.Check the babys heart and kidneys
8.Check the babys stomach, hands and feet
9.Check the Ambilical cord and amniotic fluid
The following measurements should be taken and written on your chart:
head circumference (HC)
head diameter (biparietal diameter or BPD)
abdominal circumference (AC)
femur or thigh bone (FL)
(P.s. no point comparing measurements with others, we did this is Due in Aug and everyones measurements differed a little!! So you get worried for nothing!!)
Good luck xxx
