As soon as a woman finds out that she is pregnant, anxiety for the health and life of the unborn child's child accompanies her day and night, right up to the moment of the first ultrasound, when the doctor says that " Of course, not always an ultrasound examination alone is enough to accurately diagnose, but if any suspicions of a problem are identified, then additional examinations are carried out. Usually during pregnancy it is possible to identify most of the baby's diseases, but an ultrasound scan of a newborn at 1 month makes it possible to see what is not noticed in the fetus and will start treatment.

During the course of pregnancy, three ultrasounds are usually prescribed, each has its own specific period, but if there are deviations, the number of studies increases.

The first ultrasound of the fetus is scheduled for the period 11-14 weeks. At this time, it is already possible to assess the anatomy of the fetus, the possible presence of Down's disease, which can be assumed by measuring the thickness of the collar zone and determining the level of hormones in the blood. It is now that the accuracy of the term is determined and if the analysis is taken sooner or later, then it can show that the child has Down syndrome, although in fact it does not.. Therefore, doctors are so attentive to establishing the duration of pregnancy..

With the primary ultrasound, the baby's heart rate is calculated, his arms, legs, head volume are measured, individual organs are examined for abnormalities. More details can be found only on the 23rd week..

Multiple pregnancies are also detected at an early stage, and you can see if the children are associated with a common placenta. Depending on this, experts decide what kind of childbirth is coming and how to behave now for a woman during pregnancy and during childbirth..

The ultrasound procedure itself takes about 10 minutes. A woman is instructed to come for examination with a full bladder.. If a woman is plump, then the sensor cannot always see the fetus through a layer of adipose tissue, then a transvaginal ultrasound is performed, that is, the sensor is placed in the vagina.

Then a full bladder makes no sense.

The pregnant woman must save all the results of ultrasound, which will make it possible to assess the dynamics of the development and growth of the child, the course of its bearing, to detect complications.

It is important to choose the right doctor for an ultrasound scan, since only a good specialist will be able to consider all the features of fetal development at such an early date.
