Ultrasound

Ultrasound

Our high-tech, high-touch approach includes the latest in ultrasound technology. Ultrasound enables us – and you – to see your baby as he or she grows throughout your pregnancy. It is a safe and painless test that uses sound waves to create images showing the baby’s position and shape.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends having at least one ultrasound during your pregnancy. Depending on your situation, you may need additional ultrasound tests as your pregnancy progresses. Ultrasounds can safely be done in the first, second, or third trimester.

An ultrasound will help your healthcare provider:

  • Detect whether your pregnancy is outside the uterus
  • Confirm your expected date of delivery
  • See whether there might be more than one baby
  • See whether your baby is growing at a normal rate
  • Record your baby’s heartbeat and breathing movements
  • Check the amount of amniotic fluid in your uterus
  • Check the position of the placenta in the late stages of your pregnancy.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr. Clark was recommended to me by my former, physician, Dr. Robert E. Littleton. He told me that his wife, Mrs. Littleton was a patient of Dr. Clark's. Dr. Clark is a great listener and takes special care to share needed information. She gave time for my husband and I to talk as well. My husband was very happy to be a part of the appointment this Monday. It was necessary, she thought for me to have another bone density test and arranged for us to stay after the appointment and have this test. This was a great help as we live quite a distance in North Raleigh from Rex. Dr. Clark is warm and friendly. I am fortunate to have her as a doctor.
