See a New Side of Your Baby with a 4D Baby Scan
As an expectant mother, you’ll no doubt want to have a glimpse of your baby and discover what he or she is getting up to in your uterus. Why? Pregnancy is one of the most exciting times of your life, and the development of your baby is a truly fascinating process. When offered the chance to see moving 3D images of your little one, you’ll no doubt leap at this sensational opportunity. Say hello to the 4D baby scan.
That’s right; the 4D scan goes that one step further than a 3D scan. Whilst 3D scans reveal detailed pictures of your baby, 4D scans not only display movement but facial expressions too; smiles, frowns, yawns and even thumb-sucking! These remarkable movements are heart-warming and never fail to amaze friends and family and obviously you soon-to-be parents.
A 4D baby scan is able to offer so much more than other scans. Many forthcoming mothers feel deflated after having a 2D scan because all they’ve managed to see is a grey, blurry outline which makes it difficult to identify the different parts of the baby’s anatomy. Unlike 3D and 4D scans where you are able to see the shape of your baby’s mouth and nose, a 2D scan sees directly through the baby to its internal organs and tissues. However a 4D scan reveals more detail than a 3D scan making it all the more exciting.
Not only is a 4D scan beneficial to the mother-to-be, it can be easier for the sonographer to detect abnormalities in the baby’s organs such as the spinal cord and heart. This is because a 4D scan offers visual precision and is able to pick up on many minor details that can often be overlooked by regular ultrasounds.
Due to the accuracy of the images, possible problems can be identified which may later disappear, causing unnecessary worry for the expectant mother. However it’s best to know about any likely complications rather than be completely unaware of them.
The personal benefits of 4D scans can be incredible. Why? This type of scan is good for the pregnancy and the personal well-being of the expectant mother. Research suggests that after these scans, pregnant women often switch to a healthier, more balanced diet and cease detrimental behaviours. The reason for this change in diet and lifestyle could be because of the sheer intimacy of 4D scans, which allows a bond with the baby to form. Siblings may even feel attached to the baby after seeing movements and facial expressions so clearly on the screen.
Whilst a 4D provides joy for the expectant parents as well as family and friends, be sure you book in for other scans as well. Assessing the baby with a 4D scan does not replace recommended scans such as the dating or anomaly scan; a 4D scan is optional. Also, both 3D and 4D scans are most effective at approximately 30 weeks into the pregnancy. Therefore it’s essential for women to have ultrasounds before this milestone, during the very early stage of pregnancy to look for any problems as well as get the correct dates.
