Introduction
Obstetric Ultrasound and Routine Ultrasound are cornerstone imaging tools in prenatal care, crucial for monitoring the health and development of your baby throughout pregnancy. These ultrasounds offer vital insights into the growth and well-being of your unborn child and ensure that your pregnancy is progressing as expected.
Key Functions
Obstetric ultrasound is specifically designed for monitoring pregnancy and ensuring the health and development of the fetus. Here’s why it's essential:
- Obstetric ultrasounds provide detailed images of the baby’s growth, including measurements of the head, abdomen, and limbs. These measurements are compared with standard growth charts to ensure that your baby is developing normally.
- Regular ultrasounds check the position and condition of the placenta, which is vital for the baby’s nourishment. They also monitor the amniotic fluid, which protects the baby and allows for movement and growth.
- Routine ultrasounds can identify any abnormalities in the uterus or cervix that may pose risks to the pregnancy, such as uterine fibroids or cervical insufficiency.
Monitoring Fetal Growth and Development:
Assessing Placental Health and Amniotic Fluid Levels:
Evaluating Uterine and Cervical Health:
Procedure
- The ultrasound procedure is entirely non-invasive and painless. A transducer is gently moved over the abdomen, emitting sound waves that create images of your baby on a monitor. This allows real-time visualization of the baby’s movements, heartbeat, and development.
Non-Invasive and Safe:
- Typically, a full bladder is required for better imaging during the first trimester. The entire process is comfortable and safe for both the mother and the baby.
