What Is A Fetal Well-Being Scan?
A Fetal Well-Being (Growth) Scan is performed from 24 to 40 weeks to assess:
- Head circumference & abdominal growth
- Estimated fetal weight (EFW)
- Umbilical artery Doppler blood flow
- Amniotic fluid volume (AFI)
- Placental position & grading
A Fetal Well-Being Scan is a comprehensive diagnostic ultrasound performed during the late second and third trimesters. It goes beyond simple anatomical visualization to measure key biometrical indicators—including head circumference, abdominal circumference, and femur length—enabling our clinical doctor an accurate Estimated Fetal Weight (EFW).
The examination also incorporates Color Doppler technology to evaluate blood circulation through the umbilical cord, confirming that oxygen and nutrients are being delivered efficiently to your baby. Placental location, maturity, and amniotic fluid levels are thoroughly examined and plotted on standardized growth charts.
This advanced diagnostic scan measures baby's physical growth, evaluates placental efficacy, and verifies healthy umbilical blood flow during the late stages of pregnancy.

FAQ
Fetal Well-Being scans are most accurate when performed between 24 and 40 weeks gestation.
Umbilical Doppler uses color ultrasound to measure resistance and velocity of blood flow through the cord, ensuring optimal nutrient and oxygen delivery.
Yes, all measurements are plotted on standardized clinical growth curves included in your formal report.
No, a full bladder is not required after 24 weeks gestation, as amniotic fluid naturally provides clear ultrasound views.
