What is importance of ultrasound scan?

Ultrasound scans are a vital part of prenatal care, typically performed at key stages during pregnancy. They help in:

1. Early Detection: Identifies potential complications, such as ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.
2. Fetal Development: Monitors growth, organ development, and overall well-being.
3. Placental and Amniotic Fluid Assessment: Ensures proper placental function and adequate fluid levels.
4. Guidance for Management: Helps plan care for high-risk pregnancies or medical interventions if needed.
5. Reassurance: Provides parents with visual confirmation of their baby’s health and progress.
