Answer 1

a doppler scan is a special scan which uses black and white images to examine the blood flowing through the umbilical cord between the baby and placenta

this ultra sound uses a different sound wave to your normal ultra sound

it bounces off the red blood cells and shows the speed rate they are moving.

This test is non invasive and does not hurt
