What is ultrasound?
An ultrasound, or sonogram, is a routine part of prenatal care in which the sonographer is able to see inside the body. Ultrasounds are tests that use sound waves to create images of the baby and the mother’s reproductive organs. This allows real-time viewing of what is happening inside the body, including viewing fetal heartbeat and movements.
What can I expect before, during, and after the procedure?
There is no special preparation for your ultrasound exam. A specially trained sonographer will ask you a few questions relating to your pregnancy before the exam begins.
Most ultrasounds are fast and easy, with little discomfort.
After you are positioned on the examination table, the sonographer will apply some warm gel on your skin. The transducer will be held firmly against your skin and is moved back and forth over your lower abdomen until the desired images are captured.
Often in early pregnancy, a vaginal ultrasound is performed to obtain clearer images. A protective cover is placed over a special transducer and lubricated with a small amount of gel. The transducer is inserted into the vagina by the examiner, or you may be asked to insert it as you would a tampon. The sonographer will then obtain the desired images.
The pictures and report will then be reviewed by our medical doctor.
After an ultrasound exam, you should be able to resume your normal activities immediately.
Is Ultrasound Safe?
There are no known harmful effects associated with the medical use of ultrasound. According to the FDA, Ultrasound imaging has been used for over 20 years and has an excellent safety record. It is based on non-ionizing radiation, so it does not have the same risks as X-rays or other types of imaging systems that use ionizing radiation. Various authoritative medical sources confirm that standard diagnostic ultrasounds are safe during pregnancy. There are no harmful side effects to you or your baby.
