What is a high-risk pregnancy scan?
A high-risk pregnancy scan is an ultrasound examination performed to closely monitor the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby during a high-risk pregnancy. While the scan itself is similar to a routine pregnancy ultrasound, mothers with high-risk pregnancies often require more frequent scans and additional assessments to monitor certain factors including but not limited to: Baby's growth Blood flow Amniotic fluid levels Placental health >
How Often Are Scans Needed in a High-Risk Pregnancy?
There is no fixed number of scans required during a high-risk pregnancy. The number and frequency of scans will be recommended by your doctor or fetal medicine specialist based on your specific condition and the needs of your pregnancy. In a low-risk pregnancy, most mothers typically undergo around 5–6 ultrasound scans throughout pregnancy. However, mothers with high-risk pregnancies often require additional scans and closer monitoring to assess the baby's growth and development.
