Andie, I had a few scans in Palmy with Andrew. I think it has a lot to do with your MW. A scan at broadway radiology is about $140.]]> Fri, 21 Jul 2006 15:15:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60369&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60369 <![CDATA[scans in later pregnancy : I had a growth scan at 36 weeks...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60307&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60307 Author: Maya

I had a growth scan at 36 weeks with Maya coz my midwife wasn't 100% sure how she was presenting (posterior) and because she felt big for dates apparantly.

This time round I am the scan queen lol - had scans at 5, 6, 9, 12 and 14 weeks, and then fortnightly from 17 weeks so my little bubs are very exposed.]]> Fri, 21 Jul 2006 12:51:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60307&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60307 <![CDATA[scans in later pregnancy : I had a 20-week scan and that&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60302&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60302 Author: Andie

I had a 20-week scan and that's all we get here in Palmy, unless there's reason to be cautions as far as I know.  I'd be curious to find out how much it costs to elect for another scan.

they can feel - midwives are absolutely amazing at being able to tell a back from a front from a hand and a foot - and once baby heads south their head gets engaged and the midwife can usually tell how deep it is into your pelvis and which way round it is too. - Its really interesting to feel another preggy ladies tummy and get to do the types of things a midwife does - i have had the opportunity a couple of times and you do sorta get an idea... but with my own tummy - i was never really any wiser!

In the end they feel whether the back is outwards or to the side and can guess where baby is.... either way theres not much use taking a scan usually unless they are in some really weird position like breech, or lying transverse - cos other than that, baby is gonna come out - it just might take a little bit of time turning on the way out (OUCH!).]]> Fri, 21 Jul 2006 11:34:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60298&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60298 <![CDATA[scans in later pregnancy : I only had a scan in late pregnancy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60271&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60271 Author: nikkitheknitter

I only had a scan in late pregnancy to check Han's growth as her fundal height was measuring small.
Not a nice circumstance to have a scan in... I was quite worried. Turns out she was measuring ~9lbs... that made me even more worried. ]]> Fri, 21 Jul 2006 08:58:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60271&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60271 <![CDATA[scans in later pregnancy : Do they always do a scan just...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60270&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60270 Author: mrs frantic

Do they always do a scan just before labour to check position etc - if they dont how do they know that everything is lines up the right way in there?

yep - with Paris i only got the 20 week scan.   if you request the 12 week nuchal fold scan then you can get it, or early scans to confirm dates or if there seem to be probs etc.

Scans later in preg you only usually get to check position and size if there are any doubts as to baby's growth, or whether it will fit thru your pelvis or if there are med probs... otherwise - if you have an exceedingly normal pregnancy like i did with Paris - you only get 1.

I had a 2nd with Ayja at 33 weeks cos my fundal height was going backwards... measured 28 weeks at that stage... only to find she too was just an averge little monkey.]]> Thu, 20 Jul 2006 21:09:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60245&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60245 <![CDATA[scans in later pregnancy : There&#039;s another reason for...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60238&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60238 Author: busymum

There's another reason for later scans and that is if they suspect the baby is not growing, or not growing enough. With my second child, my fundal height got to 2cm under average so I was sent in for a growth scan: all normal. Then she flipped so I was sent for two more scans to see if she was breech (she kept flipping the right way for the scans on Friday and back to breech for Tuesday appointments lol).

I had one more scan when I went into labour to confirm that she was posterior and as for the growth scans... well she was full term and 8lb, 4oz !! haha ]]> Thu, 20 Jul 2006 20:02:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60238&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60238 <![CDATA[scans in later pregnancy : I&#039;ve had: (in three pregnancies) KIYA:...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60183&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60183 Author: daikini

I've had: (in three pregnancies)

KIYA: one scan at 26-28ish weeks - anatomy and dating scan in one, to see how far along I was, as I'd only found out I was pregnant about 6 weeks before

JOSIAH: three scans at 7, 11 and 12 weeks - excessive bleeding
one scan at 20 weeks - anatomy

XAVIER: one scan at 16 weeks - supposed to be 20 week anatomy scan, but got there to find out dates were wrong
one scan at 20 weeks - anatomy

I don't expect to have any other scans this time (with Xavier) unless something happens, like him deciding to go breech.]]> Thu, 20 Jul 2006 14:15:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60183&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60183 <![CDATA[scans in later pregnancy : I had a scan at 7 weeks to see...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60141&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60141 Author: stevie_88

I had a scan at 7 weeks to see if I was pregnant- UMM YEP PRETTY SURE I WAS! Then at 16 weeks since I had bleeding, then at 18 weeks to see what the sex was then again at hmm... can't remember hahaha- something like 23-25 weeks or something like that anyways.
They did stick me on the machine last week to check his head circumference- since its been noted that it's rather large- GREAT... But they didn't take any still pictures to give to me, they took a few still pictures just to measure his head and that was it- they just got out the doppler again to check his heart rate.
I want another scan though and pictures I can keep- I would die to get one of them 3d scans but I don't know of anywhere close that do it since I'm about 3 hours north and south of a large hospital. And this little fellas being born in a country hospital- which has 1 birth every 8-14 days. So they like it when the mums want to stay longer- I'd just stay since they give you the best meals I've ever had in an hospital haha. Roast pork and CRACKLING!! YUM!

I had loads of scans with Andrew from 32 weeks onwards because he was stretched out and measuring off the scales. My LMC has mentioned having at least one more for this pregnancy to see how big he is and check position (Andrew got his shoulder stuck) to determine if they'll need to induce before he gets too overdue.
Way back in the day with #1 (Sean) I only had the 20 week scan. ]]> Thu, 20 Jul 2006 11:27:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60136&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60136 <![CDATA[scans in later pregnancy : There are only 2 scans that are...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60135&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60135 Author: caraMel

There are only 2 scans that are standard to have. The 12 week and the 20 week.

I had millions of scans from 36-39 weeks. I think one every 2 days. I was sick with pre-eclampsia so that may have been why I did. Usually you don't have one unless something is not right eg postition of baby eg breach. Your MW should let you know if you need one.]]> Thu, 20 Jul 2006 11:18:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60130&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60130 <![CDATA[scans in later pregnancy : Oooohhhhh, Please PLEASE please...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3207&PID=60128&title=scans-in-later-pregnancy#60128 Author: herewego...

Just wondering - I have heard people talk about growth scans here and I am 30 weeks and my midwife hasnt mentioned about me having any more scans (the last one I had was at 20 weeks)...does everyone have growth scans in later pregnancy or only some people or how does it work?
