Good to know:
Only 4 % of babies are born on the estimated date of birth. Most babies arrive during the time between 10 days before and 10 days after the date of birth. So stay calm.
“Cardiotocography” This is a graph of the heart beat and heart frequency of the baby, and, at the same time, a measurement of the contractions. This procedure is carried out during pregnancy as well as during the birth. The diagram of the heart frequency can show a burden or inadequate supply with oxygen of the unborn baby.
This is a measurement of the blood flow in the umbilical cord, as well as in other maternal and embryonic blood vessels. This information makes it possible, especially in the case of a high-risk pregnancy, to diagnose early inadequate situations beyond CTG and the amniotic fluid, and to curtail the right date of birth.
Just lovely to look at. Becoming more relevant with (still very rare) medical questions.
With certain questions or a desire for more information about the health of your baby, we can present a lot of the baby’s development, with a detailed ultrasound in the 12./ 13./14. week of pregnancy.
Our aim is to exclude diseases and developmental abnormalities of your baby, as much as possible. At this early stage, of course, even with this detailed examination of an experienced doctor and modern technological devices we cannot exclude all abnormalities and developmental defects. Small defects and even some children with chromosome abnormalities are not able to be seen with ultrasound examination.
But a high amount of serious diseases can be detected. With this and a clear picture we would like to give you a good feeling for the pregnancy and the development of your baby.
We can certainly advise you about the routine blood tests according to the pregnancy regulations as well as sensible or necessary examinations.
A detailed certified ultrasound in the 11th – 14th week of pregnancy. This examination is to look into the risk of a genetically inherited disease / condition of the baby, for example Trisomy 21 (also called Down’s Syndrome or Mongolism). In addition, it is to monitor the whole health of the baby as much as possible, at this stage, according to the anatomy and organ functions, which can be presented, at this time.
This is normally a specialized detailed ultrasound diagnosis or invasive procedure like an amniocentesis, or specialized blood analysis. We can offer you a lot of these examinations in our consulting rooms. For extra investigations we have been working closely with competent colleagues for several years and will send you there, if necessary. We would be happy to advise you about this theme if you wish or if it is necessary.
Sonography means the illustration of the unborn baby in the mother’s womb (uterus) or also the presentation of parts of organs of the baby. This ultrasound is very important for our work and it is like a third eye for us. Apart from pregnancy we need it for general gynaecological examinations as well as cancer prevention care and the after-care of malignant conditions. Ultrasound examination has become an integral part of pregnancy care and provides, with its variety of medical uses, an early live picture of the baby for the mother.
Good to know:
Ultrasound is for everybody, also for small children in the womb, not a dangerous examination. Usually three ultrasound examinations are routinely carried out in pregnancy at certain organized times. The little babies are examined for growing phases and proper organ development. In addition, according to necessity extra ultrasound examinations will be carried out.
To exclude pregnancy diabetes in pregnancy we offer you a glucose test (Glucose Tolerance Test) according to the recommended Diabetes Specialist Association. Your blood sugar test is carried out according to standard conditions at certain time periods. You need time for this test – it usually takes about 2 ½ hours.
Stay calm and relaxed and be careful with advice from others, even when it is from Mrs. So and So, from “experienced mothers” with one or more children, good friends, mother and mother in law, Dr. Google or a neighbor with a medical profession. The list of advisors is sometimes infinite and the limited advice of these advisors too! Your partner, your doctor, your midwife – they are the best consultants. With all the rest you should react calm and relaxed and - sometimes make yourself scare!
