Pregnancy ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the baby in the womb. It allows you to see the baby's facial features and possibly other parts of the body, such as fingers and toes, and determine the baby's gender in real-time. There are 2D ultrasounds and 4D ultrasounds, which provide high-resolution, life-like images in real time.
The 4D model is popular today, and pregnancy ultrasounds are not harmful to the mother or the unborn baby in any way.

All types of pregnancy ultrasounds, including 2D, 3D, and 4D, can detect disabilities and abnormalities. The effectiveness also depends on the doctor performing the ultrasound. If it is an obstetrician, the examination will be conducted carefully.
The main difference lies in the visual images. The 4D ultrasound provides real-time viewing with the most realistic animation, allowing clearer visualization of abnormalities such as cleft lip or tumors. Another difference is the price of the examination.
1. You can determine the sex of the baby and know the gestational age, which is helpful for mothers who can't remember the date of their last menstruation or have irregular menstruation.
2. Detect if there are multiple pregnancies.
3. Assess fetal weight and growth.
4. Check for ectopic pregnancy.
5. In case of abnormalities such as vaginal bleeding, ultrasound can determine whether the child is still alive.
6. Diagnose and evaluate the health and birth defects of infants, including the diagnosis of congenital heart defects.
7. Check if the amount of amniotic fluid is too little or too much, as these conditions can be dangerous for both mother and fetus.
8. Determine the location of the placenta. If the placenta is very low, it may require a cesarean delivery.
9. In cases with a history of premature birth, the length of the cervix can be assessed.
