Obestric Sonography
Obestric Sonography
Introduction
Obstetric Sonography, also known as prenatal ultrasound, is a safe and essential tool used during pregnancy to monitor the health and development of the baby. It uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the baby in the womb, allowing doctors to see the baby’s growth and detect any potential issues early on.
Why Is Obstetric Sonography Important?
Confirms Pregnancy: The first ultrasound usually confirms the pregnancy and determines the baby’s location in the womb.
Estimates Due Date: Early ultrasounds help estimate the due date by measuring the size of the embryo or fetus.
Monitors Baby’s Growth: Regular ultrasounds monitor the baby’s growth and development, ensuring that the baby is growing at a healthy rate.
Checks for Multiple Pregnancies: Ultrasound can detect if a mother is carrying more than one baby, such as twins or triplets.
Assesses Baby’s Health: Sonography checks for any congenital abnormalities or conditions that could affect the baby’s health.
