Obstetric Ultrasound
An obstetric ultrasound is a safe, painless procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create live images of a baby inside the mother's womb. This vital scan helps your doctor monitor the fetal heartbeat, size, and overall development to ensure the pregnancy is progressing normally. It is used to confirm the due date, check the baby's position, and examine the placenta and amniotic fluid. This non-invasive test provides reassuring images of your baby and critical information for a healthy pregnancy.
