Your obstetrician may refer you for a scan in your third trimester for a variety of reasons:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Growth and well-being of the baby
\n\u2022\u00a0Fluid loss
\n\u2022\u00a0Twins\/multiple pregnancy
\n\u2022\u00a0Diabetic\/Gestational Diabetes
\n\u2022\u00a0History of small or large baby
\n\u2022\u00a0Low lying placenta
\n\u2022\u00a0Pain or decreased fetal movement
\n\u2022\u00a0High blood pressure<\/p>\n

The third trimester ultrasound can give necessary information to your obstetrician by the use of Doppler assessment by assessing fetal biophysical profile and using clinical history and examination. The amount of oxygen the fetus is gaining via placenta can be calculated by fetal biophysical profiling. The tone, baby\u2019s heart rate, amniotic fluid volume, and movement will be assessed through this test. Any placental inefficiency will be detected by scanning the blood flow in the main artery passing through the baby\u2019s brain. Fetal size, amount of amniotic fluid, placental position and blood flow patterns in the cord and ductus venosus (liver vein) can also be estimated.<\/p>\n
