Frequently Asked Questions:
2. What can I expect to see on ultrasound? Please view the previous pages for fetal images. At 6 weeks gestation, you should be able to identify fetal heart tone on vaginal ultrasound. Also twins, triplets, and multiple order gestation can be easily seen. At 20 weeks, fetal development is matured enough for identification of most major organs including the genitalia. Also important at this stage is an estimate of fetal size and placental location. At 30 weeks gestation, the fetus should have enough adipose tissues for good evaluation of facial features using 3D ultrasonography. Please note that sometimes due to the baby's size, gestational age, position, and maternal body habitus we will not be able to perform an adequate exam. Sometimes when the legs are crossed for example, we will not be able to determine the baby's sex. Most of the time we will ask patients to return another day when hopefully fetal position will have changed and organ development will have further matured.
