Description

In this mini episode, Dr. Sterling walks you through everything you need to know about the second trimester anatomy ultrasound—what it is, what to expect during your appointment, and how to make sense of the findings. Whether you’re wondering why your bladder needs to be full, what a “low-lying placenta” means, or why you might be asked to come back for another scan, this episode is packed with clarity and reassurance.

From understanding how the ultrasound works to breaking down common findings (like EIFs and choroid plexus cysts), Dr. Sterling gives you the facts—without the fear.
