An obstetric ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to create real-time images of your baby during pregnancy. At Dr. Aarti’s Diagnostic Centre in Sangli and Miraj, we offer advanced ultrasound services to monitor the growth, development, and well-being of your baby throughout every stage of pregnancy — ensuring both mother and child are healthy and safe.
This procedure produces detailed images of the fetus, uterus, and ovaries without using radiation. A small device called a transducer is gently moved over your lower abdomen with the help of a cool gel. The reflected sound waves are converted into images, allowing doctors to assess your baby’s heartbeat, movements, and overall health. In some cases, a Doppler ultrasound may also be used to evaluate blood flow in the umbilical cord, placenta, or baby — ensuring proper oxygen and nutrient supply.
An obstetric ultrasound helps your doctor:
Confirm pregnancy and check for a heartbeat
Estimate the baby’s age and growth rate
Detect multiple pregnancies (twins or more)
Evaluate the baby’s position and movement
Check the placenta’s location and function
Assess amniotic fluid levels
Identify congenital conditions early
Monitor fetal well-being during later stages of pregnancy
There’s no special preparation required. It’s best to wear a comfortable, two-piece outfit since only your lower abdomen needs to be exposed. In early pregnancy, your doctor might recommend a transvaginal ultrasound for a closer and clearer view.
The ultrasound is completely safe and painless. You’ll lie comfortably on an examination table while the sonographer moves the probe over your abdomen. The test usually takes 20–30 minutes, and you can return to your normal routine immediately after.
At Dr. Aarti’s Diagnostic Centre, our expert team combines advanced ultrasound technology with compassionate care to ensure precise, reassuring, and comfortable pregnancy monitoring. For expecting mothers in Sangli and Miraj, our obstetric ultrasound services provide the clarity and confidence every parent deserves.
