An obstetrics ultrasound is a medical imaging technique used during pregnancy to monitor the development and health of the fetus. This non-invasive procedure uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the baby, placenta, and uterus. Obstetrics ultrasounds are commonly performed throughout pregnancy to confirm gestational age, check for multiple pregnancies, assess fetal growth, detect abnormalities, and determine the baby’s position. It is a crucial tool for ensuring the well-being of both the mother and baby during prenatal care.
