Estimated Fetal Weight | ||
Doing an ultrasound to estimate fetal weight near term is a very common practice, one still employed by many OBs, especially with large mothers. However, research clearly shows that this is a very questionable practice. The accuracy rate is very low, many women are pressured into interventions that do more harm than good, and even the mere PREDICTION of macrosomia (large baby) alters the way physicians perceive and treat labor. A number of studies have questioned the use of ultrasound for estimated fetal birth weight. Given its inaccuracy and resulting interventions, this does NOT seem to be a justifiable use of the technology unless co-existing conditions like diabetes are present (even then, some research questions its use). However, it does remain common despite the research against it. | ||

How many scans should I have? | ||
| As a practical matter, ultrasound scanning has proven to be so popular with patients and also their obstetricians, that almost everyone receiving regular prenatal care ends up with at least one scan anyway. The total number of scans will vary depending on whether a previous scan has detected certain abnormalities that require follow-up assessment. There is no hard and fast rule for the number of scans you should have during pregnancy. | ||
