SI. 2nd & 3rd Trimester Scanning

Window to the Womb provide 15 week+ pregnancy scans including well-being, gender, 4D & growth. (You will see the details of each scan package later in the course).

The client can book their appointment online or over the phone and will be asked a series of questions to ensure they are attending the scan appropriate for the gestation and reasons for attending the scan.

It important to note:

• Gender confirmation must not be provided prior to 15 weeks. If you, the sonographer have any concerns regarding the gestation the client is to be rebooked for the correct gestation.

Regardless of the scan package booked every scan completed post 15 weeks must start with a 2D well-being check of the baby.

The well-being checks should take no longer than 3 minutes subject to baby’s position and should be completed before any gender confirmation or 4D imaging takes place.

It is the responsibility of the scan assistant and sonographer to ensure that the customer is provided with a completed well-being form signed with the sonographer registration information and a copy is stored securely in the clinic.

The following modules detail best practice when conducting well-being checks in the 2nd & 3rd trimester and the measurements taken when a client books a growth & presentation scan.
