Obstetrical Ultrasound

One of the most memorable part of a family’s pregnancy is seeing images of their developing baby, or in some cases, babies! Seeing ultrasound pictures of a baby moving and hearing the baby’s heartbeat in the uterus is not only entertaining, but ultrasound serves a useful clinical purpose in monitoring the growth and wellbeing of a fetus. Obstetrical ultrasound provides pictures of an embryo or fetus within a woman’s uterus, as well as the mother’s uterus and ovaries. Ultrasounds are performed at strategic times during a pregnancy in order to:

  • Establish the presence of a living embryo/fetus
  • Determine if there are multiple pregnancies
  • Estimate the age of the pregnancy
  • Diagnose congenital abnormalities of the fetus
  • Evaluate the position of the fetus
  • Evaluate the position of the placenta
  • Determine the amount of amniotic fluid around the baby
  • Check for opening or shortening of the cervix
  • Assess fetal growth
  • Assess fetal well-being
