Figure 1 A 29-year-old woman (gravida 1, para 0) underwent a routine ultrasound examination at 32 weeks of gestation. Her pregnancy had been uneventful. Ultrasonography revealed a male fetus. The genital study with conventional gray-scale sonography (Panel A) demonstrated fetal micturition (arrowhead), as did color Doppler sonography (Panel B). A healthy boy was born at term by vaginal delivery.
