Ultrasound Information
<-- (Click link for document)
There are typically 3 ultrasounds done in the office during your pregnancy.
The first is done during the 1st trimester. This ultrasound we verify that you are pregnant, how far along you are, and we make sure the baby has a viable heartbeat.
The second is usually done between 20 and 24 weeks. At this ultrasound, we are looking to make sure the baby is forming at a normal pace. We check the development of the major organs (i.e. the heart, lungs, stomach, kidneys) and also the placenta, spinal cord, umbilical cord and amniotic fluid. At this time, it is normally possible to tell the gender of your baby. If the ultrasound technician can tell the gender of the baby while she is performing this ultrasound, she will let you know. However, it is imperative to note that though the gender is a very important detail in your pregnancy, making sure that your baby is healthy and developing correctly is our goal of this ultrasound.
The third ultrasound is done between 34-36 weeks to monitor the growth of the baby.
There may be additional ultrasounds performed during your pregnancy depending on fetal size and development. These are decided upon and ordered by your doctor.
Please click the link above for instructions for your ultrasound.
**Note** : Ultrasounds are a very exciting part of pregnancy. It is here where you get a visual of your developing child. However, it is medical procedure that must be ordered by your doctor. If you want an elective ultrasound, there are 3D ultrasound companies that specialize in that aspect. Please ask the office assistants if you are interested in these companies.
