What is an ultrasound?

An ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of your baby and your internal organs. The team at Southern OBGYN performs ultrasounds to check your health and your baby’s development throughout pregnancy. This safe, painless procedure helps your doctor monitor your pregnancy progress and identify any concerns early.

When might I need an ultrasound during pregnancy?

The team may order an ultrasound for several important reasons during your pregnancy. They use ultrasound imaging to:

• Confirm the presence of a living embryo or fetus
• Estimate your baby’s age and due date
• Check your baby’s position in the uterus
• Determine if you’re carrying multiple babies
• Monitor your baby’s growth and development
• Examine your baby’s organs and anatomy
  

The team typically performs ultrasounds at specific times during pregnancy, but may recommend additional scans if medical concerns arise.

What types of ultrasound technology are available?

Southern OBGYN uses advanced ultrasound equipment to provide clear images for both medical evaluation and family bonding.

Standard ultrasound

Traditional ultrasound technology creates detailed images that help the team evaluate your baby’s health and development. You may also be able to see your baby’s movements during the scan, which can be a special experience for expectant parents.

What can ultrasounds detect?

The team uses ultrasound technology to study several important aspects of your health:

• Your baby’s growth, position, and movements
• Development of organs and anatomy
• Concerns related to your uterus and ovaries
• Fetal responses and overall well-being

These imaging studies help the team make accurate assessments while also giving you a glimpse of your baby.

What can I expect during an ultrasound?

During your ultrasound appointment, a trained technician applies gel to your abdomen and uses a handheld device called a transducer to capture images. The procedure is painless and typically takes 15–30 minutes. You can usually see the images on a monitor during the scan, and the team often provides pictures for you to take home.

The team reviews all ultrasound results and discusses any findings with you during your appointment or at your next visit.
