4D / 5D images of your baby:

Many parents enjoy the bonding experienced when they see their baby on 3D/4D imaging.We aim to obtain good 3D/4D pictures of the baby’s face, but we also think it is important to make sure that your baby is otherwise healthy and growing well.For this reason, the 3D/4D images of your baby are usually done after the baby has been fully examined with all routine measurements and other images completed. We will try our best to give you a keepsake photo to take home.

What Will My Baby Look Like On An Ultrasound:

Beautiful and clear images of your baby, especially baby’s face, are often seen on a well-baby scan later in pregnancy.

It is natural for many parents to think that as their baby grows bigger, it is always easier to see the baby on ultrasound. This is unfortunately not always true. Many parents find it more difficult to understand what they are looking at! Ultrasounds performed later in the pregnancy usually focuses on one part of the baby at a time (for example, baby’s head) rather than giving an overview of the whole baby at once (for example, like the images of the baby’s body seen on the nuchal translucency ultrasound).

• Many factors influence what parts of the baby can be seen to include the position of the baby, the volume of amniotic fluid (low fluid makes it harder to see) and the size of the mother’s abdomen (increasing skin thickness makes it harder to see). The Doctor will attempt to obtain the best possible images of your baby and to explain these images as best as they can.
• Good 3D/4D imaging requires a co-operative baby and adequate amniotic fluid in front of the structure being imaged. Some babies press against the wall of the uterus or placenta, or they may have their arms or hands lying in front of the face. This will make obtaining a 3D/4D keepsake image difficult or impossible.
• It is good for parents to anticipate seeing their growing baby, but not to be too disappointed if this ultrasound proves difficult to understand or the images of the baby’s face are impossible to obtain.
• From a yawn to a stretch or the beating of your baby’s heart you can take a peek at your baby’s movements inside the womb! This is a fantastic way for expectant moms & dads to begin early bonding. Make an appointment for your 3D scan.
