Fetal Presentation Scan (34 – 40 Weeks): Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Fetal Presentation Scan?
It is a late-pregnancy ultrasound to determine which way the baby is facing (head down, breech, or transverse) and to assess their overall wellbeing before birth.
Why is this scan important?
Knowing the baby’s position helps you and your midwife plan for a safe delivery. It is especially useful if there is clinical doubt about the baby’s position during a physical palpation.
What else is checked during this appointment?

In addition to position, we measure the baby’s growth, estimate the fetal weight, check the amniotic fluid levels, and assess placental health and blood flow (Doppler).

What if my baby is breech (bottom down)?
If the baby is breech, we will provide an immediate report. This allows you to discuss options like an ECV (External Cephalic Version) or a planned birth strategy with your NHS consultant.
Can I see the baby’s face at this stage?

While the focus is clinical, we always try to get a glimpse of the baby’s face. However, as the baby gets bigger and moves lower into the pelvis, clear “3D-style” views can be more difficult to capture.

Do I need a full bladder?
No. By this stage of pregnancy, the baby is large enough that a full bladder is not required for a clear view. You can attend this appointment comfortably.
