Patient's question:
How to read a prenatal ultrasound report? What does a prenatal ultrasound report need to show to be considered normal? Will it be written on the ultrasound report?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy, in the early weeks of gestation, the ultrasound report reflects the size of the gestational sac. By the seventh to eighth week, the fetal pole and fetal heartbeat can be clearly observed. As the months progress, the fetus has taken shape, and the ultrasound report will show the biparietal diameter, femur, and humerus of the fetus. The size of the head circumference and abdominal circumference will also be indicated. During prenatal check-ups, if there are any abnormalities in the fetus, the ultrasound will provide a hint about the fetal condition. It is recommended to have regular prenatal check-ups to regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
