I believe everyone is familiar with ultrasound examination, which is a commonly used medical examination method that can detect many diseases. Female friends will undergo ultrasound examinations more than once during pregnancy, and doctors can use ultrasound to detect any abnormalities in the fetus. So, what should I ask the doctor for an ultrasound during pregnancy?
Many women during pregnancy do not know what to ask the doctor for an ultrasound examination, but it actually depends on the time of pregnancy. If you are getting an ultrasound in the early stages of pregnancy, you should ask the doctor if the gestational sac is in the uterine cavity, because at this time, the main purpose of getting an ultrasound is to rule out ectopic pregnancy, and you also need to ask the doctor if the pregnancy is single or multiple.
During mid pregnancy, women undergo ultrasound examination to clarify the growth and development of the fetus in the uterine cavity, and this ultrasound examination is also for screening abnormalities. So pregnant women should inquire about the growth of the fetus, such as whether the fetal length, head circumference are normal, and whether there are any abnormalities. If there is a malformation, most cases require termination of pregnancy.
During late pregnancy, ultrasound is performed to check the amniotic fluid and placental function in the uterine cavity. So you should ask the doctor if there are any abnormalities in the amniotic fluid and if the placenta has calcification. Pregnant women also need to inquire whether the fetal head diameter can pass through the pelvis, which is related to whether the pregnant woman can give birth naturally.
