Week 20: What Actually Happens In The Morphology Scan?

Welcome to Hello Bump, a podcast about what you’re not expecting when you’re expecting.

In this episode, hosts Jana Pittman and Grace Rouvray celebrate hitting the halfway mark of pregnancy when your baby is mango-sized and weighing around 300g.

This week your little one's growing hair and if you're having a girl, she's already stocked with millions of eggs in her tiny ovaries.

Jana and Grace break down what actually happens in that big 20-week morphology scan and also tackle the more serious stuff, looking at how from 20 weeks, a pregnancy loss is formally recognised differently.

Support for pregnancy loss can be available through Pink Elephants.
