Fetal Echocardiography refers to the scan of the heart of the fetus/baby. It is done in the second trimester which is between the 18th to 24th week of the pregnancy.
This scan helps us to know about the growth and development of the heart.
During this examination, the doctor is able to see the flow of blood in the heart of the fetus/baby.
This test helps to rule out abnormalities in the heart if any, and help to take necessary actions further.
It takes about 30-120 minutes to perform the same.
Fetal Echocardiography is safe, not causing any harm to the pregnant lady or the fetus/baby
