Patient's question:
I want to get a color Doppler scan tomorrow to check if it's to see the baby's growth and development. Or is it because I didn't have one during my first pregnancy and I'm going for a B on the 8th of November? The doctor said the umbilical cord is (twisted around the neck twice), so I'm considering getting a color Doppler scan. But I don't know what the purpose of a color Doppler scan is.Doctor's answer:
When was your last menstrual period? An ultrasound examination is used to check the size of the fetus, the condition of the amniotic fluid, the umbilical cord, and the placenta. If the doctor recommends irregular follow-up checks, it is still recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination in a timely manner. In the late stages of pregnancy, it is generally necessary to have a fetal heart monitoring test and a follow-up ultrasound to check the amniotic fluid, placenta, and umbilical cord. Usually, you should pay attention to monitoring the data of fetal movement. As long as the fetal movement is normal, there is generally no problem.
