What is an Ultrasound?

457162975An ultrasound is a very simple and painless procedure. With an ultrasound, one of our nurses can determine approximately how long you have been pregnant, whether your pregnancy is safely located in your uterus, and if the pregnancy is viable.

In more detail, an ultrasound uses sound to show pictures of your pregnancy to you and the ultrasound nurse. We spread a clear jelly on your stomach, and then use a special ultrasound microphone to “listen” to your pregnancy. Unlike an X-ray, the microphone does not use any radiation, which makes it safe for both you and your developing pregnancy. The ultrasound device bounces sound waves off your uterus, and those sound waves are then turned into a clear picture for you to see.
