About a growth scan

A growth scan is an extra ultrasound scan done in later pregnancy. It is done to check a baby is growing and developing as expected.

Coming to the appointment

You should arrive at least 30 minutes before your appointment to allow for parking and registering at reception. The appointment will take about 20 minutes.

It is helpful if you have some urine in your bladder but you do not need a full bladder.

Do not bring children

You are welcome to bring one adult with you but do not bring children to your appointment.

Photographs

Photographs of your baby cost £5. If your scan is done at Raynes Park Health Centre, you will only be able to pay with cash and no change can be given. Recording the scan on mobile phones or other devices is not permitted.
