Get a Pregnancy Growth Scan at VRX Diagno Lounge, Goregaon West — a third-trimester ultrasound (typically 28–34 weeks) that estimates foetal weight, presentation, amniotic fluid, placental position, and Doppler flow. Same-day radiologist-reviewed report.
The Growth Scan is a focused obstetric ultrasound performed in the third trimester (commonly 28–34 weeks), often repeated near term. It estimates foetal weight (using Hadlock formula), amniotic fluid index, placental position, and presentation, with selective Doppler in high-risk pregnancies. It identifies growth restriction, macrosomia (large baby), oligohydramnios, polyhydramnios, and abnormal placentation.
Foetal weight below 10th centile — needs Doppler and follow-up
Foetal weight above 90th centile — common with maternal diabetes
Reduced amniotic fluid (AFI < 5 cm) — important late-pregnancy finding
Excess fluid (AFI > 25 cm) — investigate cause
Vertex, breech, transverse — guides delivery planning
Critical to identify before labour
Standard 28–34 week scan
Fundal-height discrepancy on examination
Macrosomia and polyhydramnios surveillance
IUGR risk — periodic growth scan
Urgent assessment
Frequent surveillance
Discordant growth check
Beyond 40 weeks — placental function
| Parameter | What It Measures | Reference Range |
|---|---|---|
| Estimated Foetal Weight | Hadlock formula (BPD, HC, AC, FL) | Reported with centile |
| Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) | Volume of fluid | 8–18 cm (normal) |
| Foetal Heart Rate | Cardiac activity | 110–160 bpm |
| Presentation | Vertex, breech, transverse | Vertex (term) |
| Placental Site | Position relative to cervix | Distance from internal OS |
| Foetal Movements | Activity assessment | Active |
Foetal weight in 10th–90th centile, AFI 8–18 cm, vertex presentation, and well-positioned placenta are reassuring. Continue routine yearly screening if you have risk factors.
Findings such as IUGR, macrosomia, oligohydramnios, polyhydramnios, breech presentation, or low-lying placenta need obstetric review and may guide delivery planning. Your physician will correlate with symptoms and history.
Every report is reviewed by an experienced pathologist with clear interpretation and clinical comment.
