Fetal Health Evaluation
A fetal ultrasound (sonogram) is an imaging technique that uses sound waves to produce images of a fetus in the uterus. Fetal ultrasound images can help your health care provider evaluate your baby’s growth and development and monitor your pregnancy. In some cases, fetal ultrasound is used to evaluate possible problems or help confirm a diagnosis.
Why it’s done:
First trimester ultrasound examination is done to evaluate the presence, size, and location of the pregnancy, determine the number of fetuses, and estimate how long you’ve been pregnant (gestational age). Ultrasound can also be used for first-trimester genetic screening, as well as screening for abnormalities of your uterus or cervix.
