Ultrasound is a transvaginal ultrasound where we look there is a uterine gestational sac with a heartbeat and in utero. This confirms that you are pregnant and the following tests are going to do in that quarter will be the screening of the first quarter in which we see the potential or risk you have of having a baby with Down syndrome, in which we make a ultrasound to measure nuchal translucency baby along with an analytical determines some hormones. All this forms a formula that will indicate the level of risk you are to have problems. If the index is low then the pregnancy is not at risk but if the rate is high is when should we do an amniocentesis which is a small prick in the belly to remove amniotic fluid and check the baby's chromosomes to rule out Down syndrome and other chromosomal problems. Once we already know you're pregnant, which is in place and that the risk of Down's very little we have proof of anatomy baby is ultrasound 20 weeks, morphological, in which we will determine that all the anatomy Baby is correct and that there has been any malformations.

The following is an ultrasound of baby growth control around week 30-34, in which we see that babies who are outside the range in certain percentiles are either very large or very small, between 2 ranges between 90th percentile and the 10th percentile is the normal growth of babies. 50% would stripe means to determine good growth lane where the baby will be in future weeks.

 

What tests are performed late in pregnancy?

Now we have had a birth control in which there has not been any problem or we could tackle the problems that have been causing. We still have to determine if you're carrying a bacterium called group B strep that could contaminate the baby and cause problems once born, and the next thing you do is set the fetal well-being by means of straps which comes a monitoring baby's heartbeat, fetal movement baby and contractions you may have. These straps we do toward the end, when you're already accomplished, determine if the baby is fine and we can continue to expect or whether to make a prior intervention.
