If you are having singleton pregnancy then u will have to get two more Obs scans one at 28 weeks to monitor fetal growth and the last scan at term to see fetal weight ,presentation ,amniotic fluid and placental position provided it is a normal pregnancy without any complications.
In a normal pregnancy .
In a normal pregnancy u have to get at least four scans
1.At 6 to 8weeks to confirm pregnancy
2.At 11 to 14weeks -NT scan
3. At 18 to 20weeks - anamoly scan
4.At term one more Obs scan for fetal weight,placental position,AFI
Few obstetricians prefer to do one more scan at 28 weeks to monitor fetal growth.
Next Steps
Get next Obs scan done at 28weeks .Continue the oral iron and calcium tablets .
