Placental localization ultrasound
What is a placental localization ultrasound?
A Placental localization ultrasound is a medical scan conducted to determine the location of the placenta in the uterus. This ultrasound is essential for identifying potential complications early on, such as placenta previa, where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix. The placental localization ultrasound provides crucial information about the placental position for tailored pregnancy management that best suits your needs.
Important to note: the placental localization ultrasound is always performed internally at 30 weeks of pregnancy.
