FETAL ECHO

Description

Fetal echo  is a specialized ultrasound focusing on the baby’s heart. It’s usually done between 18-24 weeks if there’s a family history of heart issues or other risk factors. Here’s what it checks:
– Heart structure: Detecting defects like holes in the heart or valve problems
– Heart function: Assessing how well the heart is pumping
– Blood flow patterns: Checking for any blockages or issues

It helps diagnose congenital heart defects, allowing for planning and prep.
