Joined by Dr. Antonio Santos and maternal fetal medicine sonographer Cynthia Evans, we discuss practical ways to explain pregnancy concepts, ultrasound findings, fetal growth, twin pregnancies, anatomy scans, and more using patient friendly Spanish.

Topics covered include:
- Pregnancy and gestational age
- Due dates and fetal heartbeats
- Amniotic fluid, gestational sacs, and yolk sacs
- Cervix, uterus, and ovaries
- Growth ultrasounds and fetal measurements
- Anatomy scans and Doppler studies
- Fetal movement and fetal position
- Breech presentation
- Twin pregnancies, including monochorionic and dichorionic twins
- Common ultrasound terminology used in maternal fetal medicine

One of the most important lessons from this discussion is that translation is only part of the equation. Clear communication means using language that patients understand while still explaining complex medical concepts accurately and compassionately.
