What is "obstetrical ultrasound"?
Obstetrical ultrasound is a type of ultrasound imaging used during pregnancy to monitor the health and development of the baby and the mother's reproductive organs. It uses sound waves to create images of the baby, the placenta, and the amniotic fluid inside the womb. This test helps in checking the baby's growth, confirming the due date, and identifying any potential issues with the pregnancy. Obstetrical ultrasound is commonly used throughout pregnancy to ensure everything is progressing normally and to evaluate the baby's well-being.
