FETAL WELLBEING /

FETAL WELLBEING / BIOPHYSICAL PROFILE

Monitoring the ongoing health of the baby with quality biophysical profile ultrasounds is essential to a good outcome

The BPP ultrasound scan is a common scan in pregnancy

The purpose of this scan is to assess fetal health looking at fetal movements, amniotic fluid (biophysical profile) and blood flow through the umbilical cord. Fetal presentation is also assessed during this scan – head down versus breech versus transverse.

An evaluation of fetal wellbeing may be indicated, but not limited, to cases where the mother has diabetes, high blood pressure, does not feel baby’s movement or the fetus is small. It is usually performed during the third trimester of pregnancy but it can also be performed earlier depending on the clinical concerns.

The exam is done placing the ultrasound probe on the maternal abdomen. It can take 30 minutes or less to observe the required fetal movements.

I had the absolute pleasure of attending this clinic recently. I was referred to this clinic by an OB-GYN in St. Catharines and drove to Hamilton in order to have what was explained to me as “endometriosis mapping”.I would first like to describe myself as being an extremely anxious person when it comes to anything medically related.Now with that being addressed, upon entering this clinic, the atmosphere was spectacular. I could immediately tell that the owner took great pride in the way that this clinic was presented. Both the waiting room and the bathroom were beautiful and empowering. I found this clinic aesthetically pleasing and calming.As for my procedure, it truly exceeded all of my expectations. Dr. Leonardi and the sonographer were amazing. I received more information in 30 minutes than I ever have about my reproductive system.I am extremely grateful that I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Leonardi. I truly believe that what he has established with his clinic is ground breaking for women with endometriosis.I witnessed my mother struggle for years with this disease. Seeking out medical help and almost always being ignored. Thank you Dr. Leonardi for being so informed and accessible.

My experience at SUGO was informative and efficient. The staff were kind and I was seen on time.My experience with Dr. Leonardi was by far the most valuable care I have received in relation to Endometriosis. Dr. Leonardi was straight forward and thorough when answering my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Leonardi and SUGO for concerns related to Endometriosis. Thank you for your dedication and hard work.

My OB referred me to SUGO for a third trimester growth scan. The check-in process was smooth. My sonographer Lee was welcoming and friendly, keeping me informed throughout the scan. I also appreciated them accommodating my mother in for a quick viewing at the end, which I know can be difficult elsewhere during COVID. I also noticed how modern and well-kept their equipments are. Overall very satisfied with my experience at SUGO!

I was referred to SUGO from my OBGYN, and was immediately impressed with the overall cleanliness of the office, and kindness of all the staff at the office. Dr. Leonardi immediately made me feel comfortable as his patient. He is considerate, trustworthy, kind, and kept me informed throughout the process. As women we go through so much and it can be stressful, but I felt very reassured with him as my Dr. You are in good hands with Dr Leonardi and all the staff at SUGO!
