The reason most parents come to see me is because they felt like no one answered their concerns or only spent 5 minutes with them during their ultrasound. If you pay for a 3D/4D exam out of pocket, you should never be rushed.Speaking of the umbilical cord, when I mention it patients go crazy, “is it around the baby’s neck”? Even if it were around the baby’s neck, that is not a bad thing, it is time for us to stop vilifying the cord!.You can’t expect them to pose, in fact 3D is going to reveal your babies personality and that may be with a foot, an arm or even the cord in front of the face. A baby learns early on where they like to be in the womb. If the baby has his or her hand in front of the face, well that is how they like to be. The ultrasound can show limb malformations or missing limbs. Limbs: At this stage, the baby’s legs, arms, fingers and toes should be fully formed. Kidneys: A baby at 20 weeks should have two kidneys. A normal heart rate for a baby ranges from 120 to 160 beats per minute. Many times the babies are in a position that they find to be comfortable and won’t move. Heart: The baby should have two top chambers and two bottom chambers. Ultrasound companies advertise images for 3D/4D that are often difficult to reproduce. Don’t be upset if your sonographer cannot get those classic pictures you always dreamt of or seen on the Internet.I like 28-32 weeks because if there are last minute issues we still have at least 8-10 weeks to make management changes. The reason we wait until the 3rd trimester is that babies have finally laid down fat in their cheeks. You can do it later than that in fact I have performed some terrific exams at term. The ideal time for the 3D/4D scan is between 28 and 34 weeks.A breech baby at term is almost a guaranteed C-section. It is much easier if you find out before 34 weeks to try to get the baby to move. The position of the baby at this point is key because if the baby is breech (meaning feet first or butt first instead of head down) than there is still time for the mom to try to get the baby to move.There are lots of great techniques to get a breech baby to flip and often a chiropractor or acupuncturist can help.I go over the position of the baby, the weight of the baby and review the anatomy in detail. I perform a detailed exam during the 3D/4D scan, which I affectionately call the baby’s first “in utero”pediatric visit.Besides the cool pictures that come along with the third trimester scan, this is an important time to review the baby’s world one last time.This is considered an elective ultrasound session since most insurance companies do not cover the cost of an ultrasound beyond the 18-20 week scan. ![]() The third trimester is the most common time for patients to request the 3D/4D sonogram.Heartbeat Animal with your baby's heartbeat recorded inside.$35Īdditional Color Photo (each). ~ 4 - 3x4 Photos (3x4 3D photos are in black and white)Īdd any of the following to your ultrasound session!ĭigital Gallery of all photos saved during your ultrasound.$15ĭigital Video of the entire ultrasound session.$15īabyflix Live Stream of ultrasound session.$10 ONLY available Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 10:00 and 2:00! ~ Babyflix Live Stream of ultrasound session ~ Digital Gallery of all photos saved during your ultrasound ~ 6 - 3x4 Photos (3D photos are in black and white) ~ 30-40 Minute 2D/3D/4D/HD Live Ultrasound Photo Session ~ Heartbeat Animal of your choice with your baby's heartbeat recorded inside ~ Your choice of a Digital Gallery of all photos saved during your ultrasound OR a Digital Video of the entire session. ~ 4 - 3x4 Photos (3D photos are in black and white) ~ 20-30 Minute 2D/3D/4D/HD Live Ultrasound Photo Session Because of this, we aim to make your ultrasound session the highlight of your pregnancy!
