Has anyone been offered these/done these?

What week/s did you have them and how many?

Been told I'll need it as my BMI was 16.3 at booking appointment but they've not been great about giving me a heads up and keep getting surprise appointments. I've only just had 20 week scan so not expecting a growth scan just yet, but would good to get an idea from other people who've been in my position.

I had BMI of 16.6 so pretty similar - I was under consultant care and had extra growth scans at 28 weeks, 34 weeks and should have been 38 weeks but my DC was born early so never made it to that one.

Same here for my first pregnancy. I had a BMI of 17 at the time. Was consultant-led for a while, extra growth scans but signed off at the end as all was fine. Baby was born healthy at 41+4 weighing 7.7lbs. Hope you have a healthy rest of your pregnancy!

I had a bmi of 15 with my first pregnancy- naturally low then hypermesis on top. I had my first growth scan at 28 weeks then 30, 32, 34 and 39 weeks. My baby measured above the 90th centile initially so they booked even more scans, she was born a healthy 7lb 2oz- perfectly sized.

My first growth scan was also 28 weeks in my last pregnancy and I've been told it will be 28 weeks this time
