An ultrasound is a crucial diagnostic tool that allows healthcare providers to view the inside of your body, identify certain conditions, and more.
During pregnancy, an ultrasound views the ovaries and uterus. It also monitors the pregnancy’s health and helps determine whether things are progressing normally.
An ultrasound sends low-power sound waves through a small, handheld device called a transducer. The transducer collects the sound waves that bounce off structures in your body, creating images on a screen.
An abdominal or transvaginal ultrasound may be used during pregnancy. A transvaginal ultrasound is used during the earliest stages of pregnancy to produce the clearest image. The transducer is gently inserted into your vagina.
An abdominal ultrasound involves applying a gel to the abdomen and gently moving the transducer over that body part.
