Fetal assessment

Fetal assessment involves checking the health and wellbeing of a fetus during pregnancy. It helps doctors ensure the baby is growing properly and getting enough oxygen and nutrients. This can include ultrasound scans, which create images of the baby, and tests like non-stress tests that monitor the baby's heartbeat. Sometimes, doctors check amniotic fluid levels or perform other specialized tests. These assessments help identify any potential problems early, so appropriate care can be provided to support a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
