Ultrasound 

Ultrasounds evaluate for fetal structural abnormalities which may be linked to genetic disorders or may resolve on their own before delivery. This will be reviewed with you by your provider. Occasionally, the ultrasound may need to be repeated for better visualization of fetal anatomy. At later dates in pregnancy, we occasionally need to obtain additional ultrasounds but most healthy pregnancies do not require this."
