External examination during pregnancy🤰🏻
During your pregnancy check-ups, we do an external examination of your belly to check the growth and position of your baby. We feel your belly and listen to your baby’s heart.
Why are we doing this?
👶🏻 this way we can check your baby’s growth
👶🏻 we can check the position of the baby
👶🏻 assess the amount of amniotic fluid
👶🏻 we also listen to your baby’s heart
💡because of this, it is not necessary to make an ultrasound at every appointment. Of course, we will schedule an ultrasound if we have doubts about the external examination. This way we keep it safe and clear for you and your baby 😊
Do you have questions about the external examination? Let us know or ask them during your next check up.
