Just got pregnant B ultrasound report picture

It is very important for every pregnant mother to understand those exciting B-ultrasound pictures so that they can understand the current condition of their baby. Therefore, many new mothers ask questions in these areas. Although they have read a lot of relevant content, many people still feel doubtful. So, how do you read the ultrasound report in the early stage of pregnancy and how do you read the ultrasound photos during pregnancy? Next, let me tell you in detail.

How to read ultrasound report in early pregnancy

B-ultrasound examination is the key content of prenatal examination. The most common scenario is that the pregnant mother takes the B-ultrasound report to the doctor and asks impatiently: "Doctor, please show me the results of this report."

Fetal biparietal diameter: the largest part of the head from left to right. Occipital-frontal diameter: the distance from the bridge of the baby's nose to the occipital protuberance. Baby's head circumference: the length around the head. Fetal femur length: the length of the thigh root. Fetal abdominal circumference: the length of the abdomen. B-ultrasound examination in early pregnancy: B-ultrasound examination is also an important part of diagnosing pregnancy, which can indicate whether the pregnancy is intrauterine or ectopic, the gestational sac, the size of the fetal bud and fetal heart rate, the development of the baby, whether there is a fetal heartbeat and yolk sac, etc. B-ultrasound examination in the second trimester of pregnancy: 3D color ultrasound examination in the second trimester of pregnancy is very important. It can take clear photos and videos of the baby. 3D color ultrasound can check for deformities of the face, central nervous system, digestive tract, urogenital system, etc.

B-ultrasound examination in the late pregnancy: 1. Placental position: to confirm whether it is placenta previa; placental maturity, 2. AFI of the pregnant woman's amniotic fluid: to decide whether to terminate the pregnancy; 3. Fetal biparietal diameter, head circumference, and femoral diameter: to estimate the size of the fetus, whether natural birth can be chosen, and then decide on the method of delivery by natural birth or cesarean section; 4. Fetal position: to confirm whether there are abnormalities such as the umbilical cord around the neck.

B-ultrasound can observe whether the pregnancy position is normal (rule out ectopic pregnancy). After 13 weeks of pregnancy, B-ultrasound can clearly show the internal organs and limbs of the fetus. Estimate your baby's development status based on the data obtained from precise measurements. It can also determine the fetal position and placental location, evaluate placental function, and choose the mode of delivery.

How to read the pregnancy ultrasound photos

Gestational sac: The gestational sac is only seen in the early stages of pregnancy. Its size is 2 cm in diameter at 1.5 months of pregnancy and about 5 cm at 2.5 months, which is normal. It is normal for the gestational sac to be located at the fundus, front wall, back wall, top, or center of the uterus; it is normal for the shape to be circular, oval, and clear; if the gestational sac is irregular in shape, unclear, and located at the bottom, and the pregnant woman also has abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, she may have a miscarriage.

Fetal head position: The outline is normal, damage and deformation are abnormal, and there is no movement of the brain center line and no hydrocephalus. BPD means the biparietal diameter of the fetal head, which should be 9.3 cm or more when the pregnancy reaches full term. According to general regularity, after the fifth month of pregnancy, it is basically consistent with the pregnancy phase. In other words, the BPD is about 7.0 cm at the 28th week of pregnancy (7th month), about 8.0 cm at the 32nd week of pregnancy (8th month), and so on. After the eighth month of pregnancy, an average increase of about 0.2 cm per week is normal.

Fetal heartbeat: if present and strong, everything is normal; if absent and weak, there is an abnormality. The normal fetal heart rate is between 120-160 beats per minute. Fetal movement: if there is strong movement, it is normal; if there is no movement or it is weak, it may be that the fetus is sleeping, or it may be abnormal and needs to be analyzed comprehensively in combination with other items. Femoral head length: refers to the length of the fetus's thigh bone. Its standard value is about 2-3 cm different from the BPD value of the corresponding month of pregnancy. For example, if the BPD is 9.3 cm, the femoral head length should be 7.3 cm; if the BPD is 8.9 cm, the femoral head length should be 6.9 cm, etc. Spine: If the fetal spine is intact, it is normal; if it is damaged, it is abnormal, and the spine may be deformed. Fetal umbilical cord: Under normal circumstances, the fetal umbilical cord should float in the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman. If the fetal umbilical cord image is seen on the fetal neck, it may be that the fetal umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck.
