Obstetric Growth & Anatomy Ultrasound

Obstetric growth & anatomy ultrasound is a detailed scan usually performed in the second trimester to carefully check your baby’s development. Using high-resolution imaging, we assess the baby’s size, organs, limbs, brain, spine, and facial structures, as well as the placenta, umbilical cord, and amniotic fluid. This exam helps confirm that your baby is growing as expected and that major structures appear normal.

This scan is a key milestone in pregnancy because it can detect many structural abnormalities early and provide important information about your baby’s health. Accurate measurements of head, abdomen, and limbs allow us to estimate fetal weight and growth pattern, while the position of the placenta and amount of fluid help us identify conditions that may require closer monitoring or adjustments in your care plan.

During the appointment, you will lie comfortably while our sonographer moves the probe over your abdomen with a warm gel. The exam typically takes 30–45 minutes, and you can see your baby on the screen in real time. After the scan, our physician reviews the images, explains the findings in clear language, and answers any questions, so you leave feeling informed and reassured about your baby’s progress.
