Fetal development can be monitored through various methods, including:
- Ultrasound: A non-invasive imaging technique that provides real-time images of the fetus, allowing for assessment of growth, development, and detection of anomalies. - Amniocentesis: A procedure where a sample of amniotic fluid is taken to test for genetic disorders and infections. - Non-Stress Test (NST): A test that monitors fetal heart rate and movement to assess well-being.
