Growth scan questions

Hi
Has anyone had to have a growth scan during this pandemic, in the UK? I have to go for one today, and it's making me nervous. I have white coat hypertension, which means I get extremely anxious and sometimes terrified when I'm in a medical situation. I was wondering, has anyone already been for a growth scan recently, after their first two? What do they do exactly? And since I had my blood pressure and urine checked almost a week ago, will they want to check it this time? Since the last time I had a scan, they checked it because i hadn't had it checked since my 7 week appointment right at the start of the pandemic, like a lot of people.

I'm the same as you. Hate going to hospital and being fussed with.
I had my growth scan last week and they literally just check baby's measurements and plot them against the chart. Nothing to worry about Smile

Ah thankyou, that makes me feel so much more at ease! I always feel like I'm the only one who feels this way, it makes me feel like they'll think I'm being dramatic or lying 😬 x
