What is a "prenatal ultrasound"?
A prenatal ultrasound is a medical imaging technique used during pregnancy to create pictures of the baby inside the womb. This test uses sound waves to produce real-time images of the baby, the placenta, and the amniotic sac. It helps monitor the baby's growth, check the baby's heartbeat, and identify any potential issues with the baby's development. Prenatal ultrasounds are commonly used to evaluate the baby’s health, determine the due date, and ensure that the pregnancy is progressing normally.
