Greater Washington Maternal-Fetal Medicine and Genetics specializes in providing ultrasound of pregnant women and their unborn babies. Our advanced ultrasound equipment and state-of-the-art technology enables us to examine your baby's health and development. Often ultrasounds are requested by your obstetrician to confirm gestational dating and to provide reassurance that the fetus is developing normally. On some occasions, patients are referred to evaluate a specific problem such as bleeding, pain, uterine fibroids, multiple gestations, maternal medical conditions, or suspected fetal abnormality. Also, ultrasound us used to aid in performing prenatal diagnostic procedures such as chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis, or fetal blood sampling.
