The structural ultrasound is a comprehensive examination, from head to toe, of the fetus’s anatomy, and it serves to ensure that everything is structurally sound with the baby.
Our maternal-fetal specialist doctors perform this test and will use the most suitable ultrasound technology to identify and rule out possible anomalies or conditions that require special attention. We will also reevaluate the risk for preeclampsia and preterm delivery during the study.
The structural ultrasound is particularly significant between weeks 18 and 22 of pregnancy. It is a window through which doctors can obtain clear and detailed images of the fetus to assess its development.
Some basic measures help us get better baby photos, such as going to the bathroom to urinate to empty the bladder before the study, and not eating immediately before the consultation.
No, ultrasound is completely safe for your pregnancy and for the baby.
We can rule out the most clinically significant structural anomalies through the second-trimester ultrasound. It will also serve as a reference for comparison with subsequent ultrasounds and to evaluate the baby’s growth.
Through structural ultrasound, the most clinically relevant structural anomalies in the baby can be ruled out. These include heart problems, neural tube defects (such as spina bifida), abnormalities in brain development, the digestive system, or the urinary tract. Additionally, it rules out cleft lip and counts fingers and toes.
In the office, you will lie on the examination table, and we will ask you to expose your abdomen so that we can apply the gel that facilitates the movement of the transducer.
This device, essential in any ultrasound, allows us to obtain baby images. Our maternal-fetal doctors analyze the images in real-time and explain to you how the baby’s development and well-being are progressing.
Generally, the duration of the procedure is approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
No, it is not an invasive method. Being an ultrasound study, it poses no risk to your pregnancy or baby. No needles, incisions, or any other type of intervention in the body are required.
No anesthesia is applied for this procedure. It is painless and does not cause discomfort other than a slight sensation of cold caused by the gel.
While we perform the ultrasound, you and your companion can see the baby in real time. During the procedure, our maternal-fetal doctors will explain the findings to you. Within 24 to 48 hours, we will send an official written report with the conclusions and all the images we took of the baby to your email and your doctor’s.
