Ultrasound

Convenient On-Site Labs and Pregnancy Ultrasound

The providers at Green OB/GYN Associates offer obstetric care in a warm and nurturing environment that empowers women and families. Our services include comprehensive prenatal care with convenient on-site labs and ultrasound.

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of your growing fetus. Obstetric ultrasound is primarily used to:

• Date the pregnancy (gestational age)
• Confirm fetal viability
• Determine the location of the fetus (intrauterine vs. ectopic)
• Check the location of the placenta in relation to the cervix
• Check for the number of fetuses (multiple pregnancies)
• Check for major physical abnormalities
• Assess fetal growth (for evidence of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
• Check for fetal movement and heartbeat
• Determine the sex of the baby

Routine ultrasound testing is most commonly performed at about the 20^th week and 34^th week of pregnancy. Some doctors may use ultrasound more frequently than others. Ultrasound is also used if a problem is suspected.

With our sophisticated equipment and experienced sonographers and physicians, Green OB/GYN Associates offer high-quality ultrasound screening.
