A fetal 2D echo in Pune is a special ultrasound scan that checks your baby’s heart while still inside your womb. It helps doctors see how the heart is formed, how it beats, and how blood flows through it. Unlike a routine ultrasound that checks the baby’s overall growth, this scan focuses only on the heart in great detail. Dr. Deepti Mittal, Consultant Fetal Medicine Specialist in Pune at Motherhood Hospital, performs advanced fetal echocardiography using state-of-the-art machines to ensure early and accurate diagnosis of heart conditions in unborn babies.

What Is a Fetal 2D Echo?
A fetal 2D echo (fetal echocardiography) uses high-frequency sound waves to create clear, two-dimensional pictures of your baby’s heart. It helps doctors study:
- The structure of the heart (chambers and valves)
- The rhythm and rate of the heartbeat
- Blood flow patterns
- Functioning of major arteries and veins
The test is completely safe for you and your baby. It does not use radiation or cause any discomfort.
Why is Fetal 2D Echo Important?
The fetal echocardiography scan in Pune is one of the most important prenatal tests for detecting congenital heart defects (CHDs). Early detection ensures your baby receives the right care after birth.
Key Benefits:
- Early diagnosis of heart defects before delivery
- Helps plan safe delivery at a hospital with a neonatal heart care unit
- Prepares doctors to provide immediate treatment after birth
- Guides parents about future management and care
- Reduces stress, as you know your baby’s condition beforehand
Many babies with detected heart issues do very well after proper monitoring and timely treatment.
Who Needs a Fetal 2D Echo?
Your obstetrician or fetal medicine doctor may suggest this test if:
1. Maternal Health Factors:
- Diabetes, high blood pressure, or thyroid disorders
- Autoimmune diseases like lupus
- Exposure to certain infections (rubella, parvovirus)
- Use of specific medicines during pregnancy
2. Family History:
- Previous baby with a heart defect
- Parents or siblings with congenital heart disease
3. Ultrasound Findings:
- Increased nuchal translucency (NT)
- Unclear or abnormal cardiac images in the anomaly scan
- Slow or irregular fetal heartbeat
4. Pregnancy Conditions:
- Multiple pregnancy (twins or triplets)
- IVF pregnancy
- Growth-restricted baby
- Unexplained previous pregnancy loss
Even without any risk factors, many specialists now recommend fetal echocardiography in Pune as part of routine mid-trimester care.
