Umbilical Study

Umbilical studies typically refer to examinations or investigations involving the umbilical cord, the vital connection between a fetus and the placenta during pregnancy. These studies may include ultrasounds to assess the umbilical cord's structure, blood flow, and position in the uterus. They are crucial for monitoring fetal well-being and identifying potential issues such as umbilical cord abnormalities or compromised blood flow, which can impact the baby's health and development. Umbilical studies are often performed as part of routine prenatal care or in high-risk pregnancies to ensure the safety of both the mother and baby.
