Dating > Dating a pregnancy ultrasound

The average number of ultrasounds varies with each pregnancy. An ultrasound, also called a sonogram, can help monitor normal fetal development and screen for any potential problems. An ultrasound can be used for a variety of reasons during pregnancy. Your doctor may also order more ultrasounds if they detected a problem in a previous ultrasound or blood test. Ultrasounds may also be done for nonmedical reasons, such as to produce images for the parents or to determine the sex of the baby.
