How To Prepare For A 3D/4D Ultrasound

2D means it is a 2-dimensional, flat, black, and white image. For a 3D image, sound waves are produced at multiple angles and produce a 3-dimensional image with depth, almost like a 3D movie. The image has different color hues that give a life like picture allowing you to see what your unborn baby will actually look like. 4D is multiple 3D images frames put together over time to create a movie. You will be able to observe movements like yawning, waving, or playing Peek-A-Boo in real time! HD “High Definition” is the newest, safest, ultrasound technology. HD images are still in orangish-tan color, but is far more clearer than the dated 3D/4D technology. The motion is also faster.

No problem! The area of the baby’s gender can easily be avoided throughout the ultrasound. We are also happy to notify a bakery of your choice of the gender or provide you with the gender determination in a seal envelope.

The best time for a 3D/4D session is between 24-33 weeks. After 33 weeks your baby is a bit bigger and there is less amniotic fluid to help us get the best pictures.

Please be sure to bring a valid, government issued ID with you to your appointment.
