Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to provide the directions for the ultrasound study use and the understanding to make useful it in the first three months of pregnancy. We intend to do ten easy recommendations: pregnancy diagnosis confirmations, the localization of gestational sac, to check the viability of pregnancy, checking the fetal vitality, identify risk factors of miscarriage, to settle number of fetus and gestational age, look for uterine and ovary disturbances and the recognition of aneuploidy. Then after, based on the ultrasound diagnosis features you must decide the medical following of pregnancy. The knowledge on ultrasound is to offer a quality prenatal care and not to replace the pregnancy following in the prenatal care clinic. Ultrasound is innocuous, no invasive with low cost. When ultrasound is employed early in the first care medical attention, it will help to lowering costs of prenatal care and it is an useful diagnostic tool confirm that provide with ultrasound the family care units is a good strategy.
