So what are some of the other things we're looking for in these weekly visits besides preeclampsia?

Well, one of the things that we'll pay attention to, many women will know that we, we measure their abdomen with a tape measure just to kinda get an idea of how much the uterus is growing between visits.

For some of our patients, they may have a medical indication where they're already having ultrasounds to check the size of the baby pretty regularly, every two to four weeks.

But in women who are fairly low risk, we don't do routine growth ultra- ultrasounds to check the size of the baby.

But we will make sure to always measure the uterus just to make sure that the, that, again, there is steady growth.

And what we're looking for is that the centimeters on our tape measure roughly corresponds with how many weeks the patient is.

So if a woman comes to our office for a visit at 37 weeks and I do a measurement and I'm getting, you know, like 33 centimeters on the tape measure, that might trigger me to say, "Hey, you know, we should get a growth ultrasound to check the size of the baby." And this sometimes can come up more in the last few weeks because if there is going to be an issue with the growth of the baby, it's a little more likely to sometimes happen then.
