Pregnancy Ultrasound

5000+ scans done & counting

A pregnancy ultrasound, also known as a prenatal ultrasound, is an imaging technique that uses sound waves to produce images of a baby in the womb, as well as the mother's uterus and ovaries. This test can help doctors to monitor the baby's growth and development and check for any abnormalities.An ultrasound during pregnancy is an important tool that gives healthcare providers a visual of the baby in the mother's uterus. It allows the doctor to verify the gestational age of the baby, monitor the baby's heart rate, examine the mother's reproductive organs, and check the placenta and amniotic fluid levels.

There are different types of pregnancy ultrasounds depending on the stage of pregnancy and the purpose of the test. These include the early pregnancy ultrasound, the dating ultrasound, the nuchal translucency scan, the anatomy scan, and the growth scan or biophysical profile.

Specific Instructions:
  • Preparation: For some ultrasounds, particularly early in pregnancy, you may need to have a full bladder before the scan. A full bladder pushes the uterus up, providing a clearer image. Your doctor will inform you if this is necessary.
  • Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment. You will need to expose your abdomen, so a two-piece outfit may be more convenient.
  • Allergies: If you have any known allergies, especially to latex or certain gels, inform the ultrasound technician before the procedure.
  • Medications: Continue your regular medications unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions
