Type of ultrasound according to the time of pregnancy

Ultrasound becomes a fundamental tool for diagnosis during pregnancy. This test is safe during pregnancy, since it uses ultrasound emission.

Therefore, throughout the pregnancy, the woman will have to go to her referral center for several ultrasounds. However, there are two modalities for ultrasound:

• Transvaginal ultrasound, especially during the first trimester of gestation.
• Abdominal ultrasound performed during the second and third trimester of pregnancy.
