Pregnancy Ultrasound

Pregnancy Ultrasound

One of the most memorable times of your entire pregnancy may be when you have your first pregnancy ultrasound.

Pregnancy ultrasound transmits high frequency sound waves throughout the pregnant woman's abdomen in order to see the developing baby inside.

A transducer is a device that is attached to special equipment that is gently glided over the abdomen to take pictures of the baby, and echoes are recorded and transformed onto a screen. Most pregnancy ultrasounds take photographic images of the developing baby as well (and give the mom-to-be a keepsake to take home with her).

Pregnancy ultrasound is a valuable diagnostic tool that can help your OB/GYN determine if your baby is developing properly, foresee any problems or abnormalities, and help to confirm your estimated date of delivery. The pregnancy ultrasound shows images of not only the baby, but the amniotic sac and placenta, as well as your ovaries.
