More specifically, fetal ultrasounds are used to:<\/p><ul><li>Confirm a pregnancy<\/li><li>Determine the number of babies in the womb<\/li><li>Monitor amniotic fluid levels<\/li><li>Study the condition of the placenta<\/li><li>Determine the baby\u2019s gender<\/li><li>See where the fetus is located and how it is positioned<\/li><li>Investigate potential birth defects<\/li><li>Evaluate how quickly the fetus is growing<\/li><li>Diagnose possible complications with the pregnancy<\/li><\/ul><p>Not all of these evaluations will be available during the first few weeks of a woman\u2019s pregnancy.
