Fetomaternal Doppler
What is Doppler ultrasound and how is it done?
Doppler ultrasound in pregnancy is a non-invasive examination providing crucial insights into your baby's development and well-being. By assessing the speed of blood flow in the fetus and uterine blood vessels, we draw conclusions about the oxygen and nutrient supply to the baby. Maintaining balanced blood flow is essential for ensuring your baby's healthy growth and development.
How does Fetomaternal Doppler work?
During this examination, particular ultrasound waves are used to measure the blood flow velocity in the baby’s blood vessels and the uterus (maternal placenta). We can infer the oxygen and nutrient supply to the baby based on the determined blood flow values. Balanced blood circulation is essential for your child’s healthy growth and development.
When is Fetomaternal Doppler necessary?
- A history of pregnancy complications or disorders
- Fetal growth restriction
- Hypertension or preeclampsia (pregnancy-induced hypertension)
- Multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.)
- History of pre-eclampsia in a previous pregnancy.
- History of delayed fetal development in a previous pregnancy.
- Suspected heart abnormality
What are the benefits of this examination?
This examination is not only gentle and painless but also highly informative. Through regular use of fetomaternal Doppler, potential issues can be detected early, and appropriate measures can be taken to protect your baby’s health and your well-being.
