Extra scans?

Hi - I am 13+2 and had my 12 week scan just I've a week ago. Today had my letter in the post to confirm low risk for Downs/Edwards/Patau, which is great, but along with it came 3 letters with ultrasound scan dates. My 20 week scan is towards end of Jan but these are for April, May and June (the day after my due date). Nobody told me at my 12 week appt (where I also saw the consultant) that I would have extra scans. I am 40 and overweight and it is over 10 years since my last pregnancy. I'm on 150mg aspirin. Just giving the full picture - does anyone know what these extra scans are?

Your weight and age will put you into the high risk category so it's standard to have additional scans in those circumstances. They'll just be growth/monitoring scans

This is my second pregnancy and I’m getting more scans aswell, they seem to be just grow scans and just extra precaution.
I’m also on 150mg off aspirin aswell, lots off ladies are the same so not too worry x

Thank you both - just felt weird nobody had mentioned them.
