Practice Bulletin #175 - Published December 2016 (Reaffirmed 2020) w/ co-host Sara Rosser, CPM (@sararosser) 1. US may be harmful if overutilized. 2. Important uses include pregnancy dating/viability, fetal growth, and amniotic fluid assessment. 3. US pregnancy dating is most accurate in the 1st trimester. If significant discordance exists between US dating and LMP dating, it may be appropriate to adjust due date. 4. Fetuses at risk for FGR should be monitoring by serial growth ultrasound. It's not recommended to repeat growth ultrasound more frequently than q2 weeks. 5. Growth-restricted fetuses can be monitored through umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry as a means of avoiding bad perinatal outcomes.
