USG - LATE PREGNANCY (SINGLE) is an obstetric ultrasound examination conducted during the third trimester or late stages of pregnancy for women carrying a single fetus. The scan helps assess fetal development and monitor the health and well-being of both the baby and the mother as the pregnancy approaches delivery.
The examination evaluates fetal growth, estimated fetal weight, heartbeat, movements, fetal position, placental location, and amniotic fluid levels.
