In your third trimester, your treating gynaecologist will advise you something known as a fetal Doppler study. What does that mean?
A fetal Doppler is a specialised ultrasound based investigation that helps to assess fetal growth and well-being inside the uterus. One of the most important blood vessels supplying nutrition to the growing fetus is the umbilical artery. In this particular video, you will see something known as umbilical artery Doppler waveform. What I have shown is a normal umbilical artery Doppler study, which essentially means that the baby’s growth is absolutely normal. There are some conditions called absent or reversal waveforms, which might be problematic for the baby.
Doppler studies are an invaluable tool for modern obstetric assessment and an essential part of every healthy pregnancy follow-up. Ask your gynaecologist today about fetal Doppler!
