An Ultrasound Scan in India sends the sound waves through the woman’s uterus or womb. These sound waves bounce off woman’s baby as the echo and these echoes are then changed into an image on the screen, which demonstrates the position of the baby and movements.

Do you know which things creates biggest echo? If not, then its hard tissues such as Bone of the infant. True, bone reflects on the whole sound waves and thus creates the biggest echoes. Hard tissues have white colour in the image while soft tissues appear as to grey. Amniotic like fluids surround the growing baby- these fluids appear black on the screen. Why black? This is because the sound waves go through with these fluids without any echo. The sonographer, who is performing this scan, makes aware the woman at the different shades in order to interpret the representation on the screen.

The first Ultrasound Scan in India is overwhelming because by this scan, a woman sees the first glimpse of her own baby. If you want to print out the image of your first pregnancy ultrasound then you can say this to your sonographer. This thing you need to ask with the centre or hospital at the beginning of the scan, the centre will likely charge this service apart from the ultrasound test cost or maybe this service won’t cost anything (depend on the centre). It feels very nice to have the first image of the baby and therefore some of the private centres have allowed the couple to download the picture of the scan to their phone.

The first-trimester of the Ultrasound Scan in India tests out the infant’s heart beat and also shows the basic anatomy of baby’s head area, abdominal wall and also the limbs.

Depending on the woman’s stage of pregnancy, the ultrasound test can:

• Evaluate baby’s heartbeat
• It can detect the woman is pregnant with a single baby or twins or more
• The ultrasound scan also tests out whether the woman is with an ectopic pregnancy or not (during an ectopic pregnancy, the embryo gets implanted outside the uterus, generally in the fallopian tube)
• If a female is facing with an unwanted bleeding then via this scan, the specialists can get the reason
• Closely will tell the date of pregnancy by evaluating the baby
• Diagnose if any abnormality is there with the baby (such as spina bifida)
• Inspect the reason behind abnormal blood screening test (if any)
• Scrutinize the baby to catch the sight of his organs (normal or not)
• Ultrasound Scan in India also assists some diagnostic tests such as CVS (Chorionic Villus Sampling) or Amniocentesis by demonstrating the spot of the baby and placenta.
• Through several scans, a couple gets to know the rate of growth of their baby
• Measure the amount of mother’s amniotic fluid
