Ultrasound in Pregnancy in Raebareli
An ultrasound scan is a safe and painless test that uses sound waves to create an image of your baby inside the womb. At Mithila Women's Hospital in Raebareli, we offer routine and specialized obstetric ultrasounds under the clinical direction of Dr. Shilpi Singh to check the health and development of your baby at different stages of pregnancy.
Why are ultrasounds important during pregnancy?
Ultrasound scans are vital for monitoring fetal growth, confirming the pregnancy's location (ruling out ectopic pregnancy), determining gestational age, and assessing viability. They help identify conditions like twins, check the position of the placenta, and look for physical development milestones. Typically, women receive a dating scan in the first trimester, an anomaly scan around 18-20 weeks, and growth/color Doppler scans later in pregnancy if needed.
When should you get a pregnancy ultrasound?
Your obstetrician will schedule scans at key points during your pregnancy. Common times include early pregnancy (6 to 10 weeks) for viability and dating, the second trimester (18 to 22 weeks) for detailed anatomy, and the third trimester for tracking growth and fluid levels. You may need additional scans if you have a high-risk pregnancy, experience pain or spotting, or notice a change in baby movements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are pregnancy ultrasounds safe?
Yes, diagnostic ultrasounds use sound waves, not radiation, and have been used safely in pregnancy for decades with no known risks to mother or baby.
How many scans will I need?
Most healthy pregnancies require 2 to 3 routine scans, but high-risk pregnancies or specific medical conditions may benefit from more frequent monitoring.
Do I need a full bladder for the scan?
For early pregnancy scans (before 12 weeks), a full bladder is often helpful to push the uterus up for a clearer image. For later scans, this is usually not required.
