What Is a 26 Weeks+ Pregnancy Scan?
A 26 week+ pregnancy scan is a detailed ultrasound performed after 26 weeks gestation to:
- Assess fetal growth and estimated weight
- Check amniotic fluid levels and placental position
- Monitor fetal movements and wellbeing
- Evaluate fetal position (head-down, breech, or transverse)
- Detect any late-developing structural or developmental concerns
These scans are important for ongoing pregnancy care, helping your obstetrician manage delivery planning and detect any potential complications.
