Abstract: Antenatal ultrasound is a cornerstone of modern prenatal care, offering critical insights into fetal development and maternal health. This study explores the knowledge and expectations of 500 pregnant women in India regarding antenatal ultrasound, using a structured questionnaire administered across prenatal clinics in Delhi. Findings reveal a broad recognition of ultrasound?s value, tempered by gaps in understanding its timing and safety, alongside optimistic expectations for reassurance about fetal health. Concerns about accuracy and safety highlight a need for improved education. These insights underscore the potential for enhanced communication to strengthen prenatal care practices in India.
