As soon as the coveted first term for uzi comes up (usually 10-12 weeks), future moms go to this mandatory procedure with a sinking heart. With special trepidation, they first peer into the outline of their little one, with a smile or with tears in their eyes, watch as their baby sucking a finger or moving its legs. Such a moment is unforgettable - after all, it is then that some abstract realization that you are a mother, gets a tangible, tangible form. The first uzi during pregnancy makes it possible for a woman to see her baby, to experience strong emotions at the same time and begin not to be hypothetical, but to almost feel like a mother. It is from this moment on that the woman is clearly aware of the responsibility for a small life in her tummy.
Advantages of ultrasound and its dignity
1. A pregnant woman is able to see her child and through this visual contact perceive it realistically, and not virtually. This is better than anything else, it awakens maternal feelings.
Agree to get rid of an imaginary egg even simply psychologically much easier than to doom to death a native creature with a beating heart that stretches out its small grips to you from the monitor screen ...
2. At the uzi, experts will reassure the expectant mother that her little one is alive, healthy, that he develops according to the terms of pregnancy, that his heart normally works.
3. You can find out in advance the sex of your baby, which means that it is more serious to go to the choice of a name for a baby and purchase suitable clothes in stores.
4. A gynecologist, or a doctor who makes ultrasound, will be able to determine the size of the baby, his presentation (head, foot, pelvic), whether the fruit is wrapped by the umbilical cord, whether it has any abnormalities in development. You can also calculate in advance the weight of the baby and how big his head is. This information is especially important for deciding on the mode of delivery (natural delivery or cesarean), their approximate time, and also possible features.
5. If you make a full-color ultrasound of the genital organs of a child in the 3 D format and get his photo on hands, then it will be almost impossible for the medical staff to substitute the child, giving the boy for the girl. Cases, you know, are different.
6. If at the initial period of pregnancy a woman doubts her position, ultrasound will finally dispel any doubts.
7. Uzi help in time to detect the pathology of the fetus, the pregnancy itself or determine its ectopic nature. The latter can play not only a big role for the health of the mother, but even save her life.
8. Uzi will show whether a woman is waiting for one or several babies at once.
Uzi during pregnancy - indications
1. The mother has any chronic cardiovascular diseases, diabetes or some other disease that is bad for the offspring or complicates the course of pregnancy and childbirth.
2. Suspicion of the doctor for any problems with the placenta, cord or cord injury in the development of the baby.
3. Finding a woman before pregnancy in harmful work related to heavy physical labor, and also if the woman has very poor health.
4. The presence in the family as a whole or in a pregnant woman in particular the history of the birth of children with pathologies, miscarriages, stillbirths, etc.
Duration and types of uzi
1. The very first mandatory ultrasound is carried out early in 10-14 weeks. In the course of it, it is possible for the mother to see the baby for the first time, to find out how well everything is going on. She can even be given the first photo of a child.
2. The second ultrasound is usually done in a period of 20-26 weeks. Often this is not an ordinary two-dimensional study, but a 3D 3D ultrasound. Thanks to him, parents are usually told the sex of the child.
3. The third uzi is most often prescribed in the period from 30 to 36 weeks. At this time, a detailed diagnosis of the child's organs (its length, position), the condition of the amniotic fluid, the location of the umbilical cord. This is extremely important and useful information for the gynecologist - it is through her planned strategy and tactics of delivery!
4. In some special cases, uzi is still produced shortly before delivery. For example, if the child had a whole pregnancy or transverse or breech presentation, then you need to check whether he suddenly decided to roll upside down before birth. Of course, you can try to diagnose this manually, using a stethoscope (listen to the beat heartbeat). However, Uzi in this regard is more reliable, it will more accurately show the picture of pregnancy.
This is also important if it was previously determined that the fetus has a very large head, which can cause problems during normal delivery. Then the control prenatal uzi, precisely defining the size of a head of the kid is appointed. This can help to avoid, perhaps, an unnecessary operation of cesarean section.
6. There is also a special kind of uzi - doppler. Such a study is necessary in order to determine the blood flow in the placenta and umbilical cord, to analyze the condition of the blood vessels and the heart of both the mother and the baby. He is appointed at different times - the main role is played by the state of health of a pregnant woman. Even if everything develops according to plan, a gynecologist simply might want to make sure of a successful outcome of pregnancy.
How expensive is uzi during pregnancy? Usual planned uzi, as a rule, is free of charge, or its cost is included in the price of general insurance. Of course, sometimes I want to encourage the enthusiasm of a specialist who conducts ultrasound. Especially, if you want to get a photo of your child in memory of eternity except for professionalism and human relations. Usual, two-dimensional uzi with a black and white monitor are cheaper than three-dimensional color devices. Accordingly, and research on them will vary in price. Also separate (and very considerable) money is a mini-video with your baby in the title role.
So, is harmful uzi or not? Judge for yourself - hundreds of women with certain pathologies carried out even ten uzi, which did not affect the health of the kids. But it helped save hundreds of small lives, in time giving doctors the opportunity to take the necessary measures at the right time.
