Our qualified team offers extensive options for ultrasounds so that we can monitor your health and pregnancy while providing the prenatal information that you may desire.

Ultrasound FAQs
Ultrasound is energy in the form of sound waves. By reflecting off internal organs and being “read” by scanners, the sound waves create pictures of internal organs. These sound waves are not harmful to you or your baby! Instead, ultrasounds help doctors identify the health and progress of your pregnancy.
Most pregnant women receive two ultrasounds, one ultrasound in the first trimester and one in the second trimester. However, your doctor may recommend additional ultrasounds if any abnormalities or complications are detected.
Typically, your first ultrasound will take place between seven and twelve weeks. When you schedule your initial appointment with your doctor at OB/GYN Associates of Alabama, we’ll work with you to schedule and perform your ultrasounds at the weeks that work best for you.
