Decoding ultrasound scans: Which are vital and which are just for fun?

One thing that you can be sure of during your 40 weeks of pregnancy is that you will attend numerous doctor appointments and many of these will be for different scans.

Many of these scans are aimed at more than just getting a baby picture.
