The radiologist will move a handheld electronic device (ultrasound transducer) over your abdomen.
The ultrasound transducer passes high-frequency sound waves through your body. The device is moved around the abdomen to get different fetal heart images.
Due to the movement of the transducer, you may feel slight pressure.

When the diagnostic test is completed, the gel is cleaned off your abdomen, and you can return to your routine daily activities.
