• Fetal Heartbeat: Confirming a steady, strong pulse signals a healthy early pregnancy.
  
• Brain Development: Visible brain structures and features are clearly assessed to verify normal growth.
  
• Limbs and Movement: Subtle movements allow doctors to confirm coordinated development.
  
• Placenta and Amniotic Fluid Levels: Important indicators for pregnancy health and amniotic integrity.
  
• Measurements: Length, heartbeat, and development milestones ensure your baby is progressing on track.
