Where Do You Get a Sonogram?

An ultrasound usually can be done in your practitioner's office or your local hospital. There are two types: transvaginal probe and transabdominal ultrasound.

What do you get a sonogram for?

Ultrasounds can provide your doctor with lots of valuable information—for example, they can monitor your baby's growth, detect abnormalities, predict your due date, determine whether you're carrying multiples, show the position of your placenta, and indicate the sex of your baby.

Where is a sonogram performed?

Most ultrasound examinations are done using an ultrasound device outside your body, though some involve placing a device inside your body.
