Key Aspects of Early Pregnancy Scans with Dr. Nirmala Murthy:

Confirmation of Pregnancy: Early pregnancy scans are often used to confirm the presence of an intrauterine pregnancy, ruling out ectopic pregnancy or other abnormalities. This confirmation provides expectant mothers with reassurance and peace of mind.

Dating the Pregnancy: One of the primary purposes of early pregnancy scans is to accurately determine the gestational age of the embryo or fetus. By measuring the size of the gestational sac or embryo, Dr. Murthy can estimate the due date and monitor the progress of the pregnancy.

Assessment of Viability: Early pregnancy scans assess the viability of the pregnancy by confirming the presence of a fetal heartbeat. The detection of a fetal heartbeat is a positive sign indicating a healthy pregnancy and can alleviate anxiety for expectant mothers.

Detection of Multiple Pregnancies: Early pregnancy scans can detect the presence of multiple embryos or fetuses, such as twins or triplets, allowing Dr. Nirmala Murthy to provide appropriate counseling and care for expectant mothers carrying multiple pregnancies.

Evaluation of Pregnancy Complications: In some cases, early pregnancy scans may be used to evaluate for potential complications such as miscarriage, blighted ovum, or molar pregnancy. Detecting these abnormalities early allows for timely management and support for expectant mothers.
