Lots of things: In addition to what dr. Isobe mentioned, a doppler ultrasound study of a baby can tgell you the age, sex, and size of the baby. It can tell you if there is enough, too little, or too much amniotic fluid. It can tell about the attachment and health of the placenta. It can also tell you if you have one baby, twins, or more! it is an easy way to get a lot of infomration painlessly.
