Advanced Prenatal Imaging at Gentle Birth Center OBGYN
Ultrasounds and anatomy scans are an essential part of prenatal care—providing valuable insight into your baby’s growth, development, and overall well-being. At Gentle Birth Center OBGYN, we offer high-quality ultrasound imaging and detailed anatomy screenings in a calm, supportive environment, helping you feel informed, reassured, and connected throughout your pregnancy.
What Is a Prenatal Ultrasound?
A prenatal ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your baby in the womb. These scans help confirm pregnancy milestones, monitor growth, and assess maternal and fetal health at various stages of pregnancy.
Ultrasounds may be performed to:
- Confirm pregnancy and estimate due date
- Monitor fetal growth and development
- Assess placenta position and amniotic fluid
- Evaluate fetal heartbeat and movement
- Support medical decision-making during pregnancy
Anatomy Scan (Mid-Pregnancy Ultrasound)
The anatomy scan, typically performed around 18–22 weeks, is a detailed ultrasound that evaluates your baby’s physical development from head to toe.
During an anatomy scan, we assess:
- Brain, spine, and facial structures
- Heart and major blood vessels
- Lungs, kidneys, stomach, and bladder
- Arms, legs, hands, and feet
- Placenta location and umbilical cord
- Amniotic fluid levels and fetal growth
This scan plays a key role in identifying structural concerns early and ensuring appropriate follow-up care if needed.
What to Expect During Your Ultrasound Visit
Our ultrasound appointments are designed to be both informative and comforting:
- Performed by trained, experienced professionals
- Clear explanations of what you’re seeing
- Time to ask questions and discuss findings
- Images that help strengthen your bond with your baby
- We prioritize accuracy, clarity, and a gentle experience for every patient.
When Ultrasounds Are Recommended
Ultrasounds are commonly performed:
- Early in pregnancy for dating and confirmation
- Mid-pregnancy for anatomy screening
- Later in pregnancy to monitor growth or specific concerns
- As needed for high-risk or specialized care
Your provider will recommend the appropriate timing based on your pregnancy and health history.
