When is the best time to obtain 3D or 4D Live Ultrasound?
Although an ultrasound can be obtained at any time during pregnancy, the optimal time to have a 3D or 4D Live Ultrasound is between 27 and 30 weeks. Earlier ultrasounds allow mothers to see more complete images of their baby. Later ultrasounds reveal improved facial features since the developing fat layer enhances these images. It is important to remember that all images are dependant on the baby’s position, movement, size, and the amount of surrounding amniotic fluid. As a result, we cannot always guarantee image quality.

A: Real-Time 4D Live Imaging is the continuous three-dimensional scanning of the baby with a simultaneous visualization of the A, B, and C planes. 4th dimension is of Real Time so that you can see your baby moving in 3D. Q: Will I always get a beautiful picture of my baby? A: Usually, but not always. Sometimes if the baby is persistently looking face down, i.e. towards your spine, it may be difficult to see the baby’s face. If this happens, a repeat scan will usually succeed because the baby will have turned to a favorable position. We make no promises that the images will be similar to those you might have seen elsewhere or even from our office, or that we can always meet everyone’s expectations. Every baby scans differently, depending on its gestational age, position, amount of fluid, and mother’s co
