Background: Ultrasound imaging is an important tool for tracking fetal development and detecting pregnancy complications. It provides information about the growth rate, amniotic fluid levels, mother's health. This ensuring a healthy pregnancy. Early identification of complications such as gestational diabetes preeclampsia intrauterine restriction (IUGR) abnormal placental structure it can improve health mothers fetuses.Objective: The aim this study was to evaluate utility ultrasound in monitoring among pregnant women.Methodology: 350 women aged 18 39 years participated study. These subjects were between weeks 6 40 their gestation had visited hospital routine prenatal care during designated period. Maternal clinical parameters (weight, BMI, blood pressure, sugar levels) recorded, measurements performed assess size. (Head circumference Abdominal thigh length), incidence Sensitivity values also calculated detect Pearson correlation used relationship level child's development.Results: showed that rates within normal range majority sample. Intrauterine seen 12%, with detection rate 82%. evaluation has proven be sensitive including (85%), pre-eclampsia (79%) uterine (79%). A positive found maternal BMI (r = 0.38, p<0.01), while levels related 0.45, p<0.01) -Conclusion: exceedingly powerful headaches improvement. presents essential records early which includes IUGR, diabetes, preeclampsia, could extensively fitness effects. supports ongoing use enhancement antenatal care.
