It is also possible to estimate the quantity of amniotic fluid, evaluate heart function and breathing movements of the fetus.

	It is sonography done for better visualisation of uterus & ovaries. A high-resolution endovaginal probe is inserted into the vagina for this examination. It is not painful. It is done as a routine at our centre as it is observed that at times even fairly prominent lesions can be missed if only trans-abdominal sonography is performed. It does nor require a full bladder.
	Q. Is dating and weight estimation 100% accurate?
