Growth scan at week 32

At pregnancy week 32, you will go for your third ultrasound scan called the growth scan. This scan helps to:

1. Monitor your baby's growth, and whether the amount of amniotic fluid is sufficient. This will indicate your baby's wellbeing
2. Determine your baby's position as well as the location of the placenta
3. Measure the amount of amniotic fluid and your baby's projected growth and current estimated weight based on a measurement from its abdominal girth
