- UltrasoundAn obstetrical ultrasound will be performed by a licensed ultrasound tech in order to evaluate the developing fetus and health of the mother. An obstetrical ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive procedure which uses sound waves to create an image of the fetus, placenta and amniotic fluid. Both doctor and parents can view these images on a computer monitor. Ultrasounds can be performed transabdominally, which involves moving a transducer across the skin of the lower abdomen, or transvaginally, which involves inserting a transducer into the vagina and rotating it for a comprehensive view of the fetus and surrounding organs.
