Pregnancy Ultrasound

 

About this deal

An ultrasound scan is a diagnostic technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the internal organs. A screening ultrasound is sometimes done during the course of your pregnancy to check normal fetal growth and verify the due date.
When are ultrasounds performed during pregnancy?
Ultrasounds may be done at various times throughout pregnancy for several reasons:

First Trimester
• To establish the due date (this is the most accurate way of determining the due date)
• To determine the number of fetuses and identify placental structures
• To diagnose an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage
• To examine the uterus and other pelvic anatomy
• To detect fetal abnormalities (in some cases)

Midtrimester (also called the 18- to 20-week scan)
• To confirm the due date (a due date set in the first trimester is rarely changed)
• To determine the number of fetuses and examine the placental structures
• To assist in prenatal tests, such as an amniocentesis
• To examine the fetal anatomy for abnormalities
• To check the amount of amniotic fluid
• To examine blood flow patterns
• To observe fetal behavior and activity
• To measure the length of the cervix
• To monitor fetal growth

Third Trimester
• To monitor fetal growth
• To check the amount of amniotic fluid
• To conduct the biophysical profile test
• To determine the position of the fetus
• To assess the placenta

 

Inclusions

Abdominal ultrasound: In an abdominal ultrasound, gel is applied to your abdomen. The ultrasound transducer glides over the gel on the abdomen to create the image.

Additional / Optionals

This is not Transvaginal ultrasound (HR0009). In a transvaginal ultrasound, a smaller ultrasound transducer is inserted into your vagina and rests against the back of the vagina to create an image. A transvaginal ultrasound produces a sharper image than an abdominal ultrasound and is often used in early pregnancy. Transvaginal Ultrasound costs AED450.
