Obstetrics Ultrasound: Monitoring Maternal and Fetal Health

Obstetrics Ultrasound is a critical diagnostic tool used during pregnancy to monitor the health and development of both the mother and the fetus. It provides invaluable insights into pregnancy progression, fetal growth, and overall well-being.

Understanding Obstetrics Ultrasound

Obstetrics Ultrasound involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to create images of the uterus, placenta, and developing fetus. It is non-invasive and safe for both mother and baby, offering real-time visualization and measurements.

When is Obstetrics Ultrasound Performed?

Obstetrics Ultrasound is performed at various stages of pregnancy, including:

Types of Obstetrics Ultrasound

The Obstetrics Ultrasound Process

Preparation: Patients may need to drink water before the procedure for a full bladder, which enhances imaging clarity.

Procedure: A gel is applied to the abdomen or probe before insertion. The transducer or probe is moved over the abdomen or inserted into the vagina to capture images. The sonographer interprets the images in real-time.

Diagnostic Insights: Obstetrics Ultrasound provides valuable information about fetal development, placental position, amniotic fluid levels, and potential complications such as ectopic pregnancy or placenta previa.
