Ultrasound of pregnancy

Ultrasound for pregnant women helps to monitor the development of the future child from the state of the embryo and up to birth, in time to conduct additional research and prevent possible problems of carrying. This is a mandatory method of pregnancy control. Ultrasound is considered today the most informative and safe research. If you are looking for a clinic and a doctor for pregnancy ultrasound in Kiev, we are happy to help you. Doctors Dobrobut will diagnose pregnancy at any term, help to determine the week of development and assess whether all is well at the moment.

Timing of screening

Ultrasound examinations should be done at least twice during pregnancy. If necessary, the doctor prescribes additional ultrasound examinations, including one just before delivery.

Confirmation of pregnancy is also done using ultrasound. If you took a test and it was positive, it may not be enough. Make an appointment at the Dobrobut Women's Clinic for an ultrasound. 

Pregnancy screening helps in the control terms to determine the correct development of the baby by certain signs that are characteristic of each stage. That is why it is important to come to the ultrasound exactly in the week that your doctor has determined for screening.

Screening is carried out according to the following schedule

• 12 weeks - the first screening
• 18-21 weeks - the second screening
• 32-34 weeks - the third screening

If necessary, an expert ultrasound of the fetus can be appointed in the clinic Dobrobut, which helps to clarify the details of development and in time to take the necessary measures if suspicions of pathology are confirmed. It is often necessary after 18 weeks, when it is more likely to manifest a defect or syndrome. 

The first screening is needed not only to confirm pregnancy, but also to exclude pathology at an early stage. Ultrasound diagnosis in the first weeks of pregnancy allows you to identify an ectopic pregnancy and in time to perform an operation that will save the woman from severe consequences. Also, the doctor will see if there is no threat of miscarriage. If such a problem is detected, the woman will be able to get the necessary treatment in time to save the pregnancy.

The second screening is important to detect possible placenta previa, as well as to monitor the child's development. Ultrasound during pregnancy at this stage helps the doctor determine whether the size and weight of the fetus meet the standard according to the terms of development, whether the internal organs are developing correctly, what is the condition of the amniotic fluid and the placenta. These data make it possible to plan further pregnancy management.

The third screening helps to plan the birth. At this stage, a decision can be made to perform a cesarean section if natural birth according to ultrasound data and other indicators in the opinion of the doctor carry risks for the baby or the mother.

Unscheduled ultrasound during pregnancy

Unscheduled Ultrasound during pregnancy can be assigned at the request of a woman, or by indication. The procedure is safe for the future baby, even if it is carried out more than three times during pregnancy. Therefore, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations and come to each examination to monitor the pregnancy. Often this is necessary to monitor the baby's position. For a natural birth, it is important that the baby lies head down. Usually, the baby turns into the correct position in the third trimester. If this does not happen, the doctor may recommend a cesarean section.

Control of the state of the placenta and amniotic fluid can be carried out by indication several times during pregnancy. This is especially important if an infection is suspected.
