Do you get a 26 week scan?

[WhoahThereCrazyHorse]

Someone told me that everyone now gets an extra scan at 26 weeks but I haven't heard it from my midwife - does anyone know if this is the case?

I've not heard this at all.

I didn't and DS is only 3wo...

I've never heard of it either. Maybe it's with private healthcare?

Nope. Unless there is a complication. My friend had regular scanning due to a very high BMi. But if ur fit n healthy it'll be a dating/and or nuchal scan and an anomaly scan at 20 wk normally

My midwife said the extra scan was at 32 weeks. It's a very new thing that's just been brought into play.

Not in my area. I'm 34 weeks and just had another scan this week (consultant led care) to check growth & positioning. My friend had regular scans throughout but her pregnancy was high risk.

No. I'm 34 weeks today and didn't have an extra scan with the nhs at 26 weeks.

Here its 12 and 20. I get an extra at 36 for a low placenta and growth due to BMI.

I had my 20w scan yesterday (am 21w) and the sonographer told me that's the last scan I get unless any problems are detected as the pregnancy continues.

I am 34 weeks pregnant and had an early scan due to spotting and then 12 and 20 week scan. No more scan now unless there is a problem.

I've just come back from my 12 wk scan and they booked me in for a 22 wk scan and 32 wk scan. Maybe it's just Kings or London hospitals. The midwife did say it was a new thing so maybe it will only apply to new pregnancies.

I've had 2 pregnancies in 2 different areas of the country. Just 12 week and 20 week scans for me. I'm currently 32 weeks pg with DD2.

Thechick, must just be King's. I am london too and had one at 13, then 20 (today!) and I need an extra one at 36 due to low placenta but that's not usual.

I'm at Uch London and they have introduced a third scan at 32 weeks for positioning and growth I believe.

Medway NHS Authority has introduced 32wk scans for all pregnancies according to my MW, as she was expressing that they could squeeze it in, as in my health authority is difficult scanning all the women at 12 & 20wks. I believe its a scan to check baby's position & growth.
