Question

Obstetric sonography is a technology that allows doctors and parents to see images of a fetus as it develops in a woman’s womb. This practice is commonly referred to as an ultrasound. Generally, a woman will get two or three ultrasounds during her pregnancy. Which is the most likely medical reason that a doctor might require a pregnant woman to get ultrasounds more frequently?
to predict the due date
to gather pictures for an album
to prepare for special medical needs
to find out the gender of the baby

Answer 1

to prepare for special medical needs

Doctors order extra ultrasounds when there are medical concerns — e.g., suspected fetal anomalies, growth restriction, placenta problems, multiple pregnancy, or other high‑risk conditions — so they can monitor the fetus and plan appropriate care.
