Ultrasound & Fetal Monitoring
About the procedure
Ultrasound uses 2D sound waves to visualize the fetus, monitor fetal development, and In early pregnancy Ultrasound is essential to confirm pregnancy either single or multiple pregnancy, and determine gestational age. The 1st level 1 ultrasound is called nuchal translucency ( NT ) scan for all pregnant women to reassure the first trimester of pregnancy. It helps determine a fetus' risk of congenital conditions like Down syndrome. It's highly accurate when combined with other scans. The 2nd trimester is the most important ultrasound to detect anomalies called level 2 ultrasound, to reassure all fetal organ development and further assess amniotic fluid, and monitor placental location. In advance, the gestational age of pregnancy needs to do fetal Doppler with growth scan and fetal well-being and if required need to do 4D ultrasound. The procedure is safe, non-invasive, and provides vital information for prenatal care planning, ensuring both maternal and fetal safety throughout gestation.
