The optimal time to do a baby ultrasound depends on the type of
images you would like to get. If you want to see detailed 3D or 4D
facial images of your baby, it is best to get them at around 28 to 32
weeks (ideally 29 weeks).
During the first trimester, a baby’s facial features are not yet clear on
a 12-week 3D ultrasound since they are still small. However, the 3D
and 4D ultrasounds often include the whole body, enabling you to see
your baby moving their arms or legs in real-time.
Although 3D baby scans are best done between 27 to 32 weeks, we
can get it done on either side of this time frame. The clarity of images
will depend on the baby’s position, size, placenta location, and
amniotic fluid level.
You do not need to drink gallons of water and make yourself uncomfortable, however sometimes it is useful if you have a bit of fluid in your bladder so that if the baby isn’t in a great position to get 3D/4D images I can get you to empty your bladder and this can cause the baby to move around and may mean that it moves into a more photogenic position.
Certainly not! Babies need fuel to be active and we like to watch active babies on ultrasound! Eat as normal and if you can fit it in, maybe even have a snack containing natural sugars (if you don’t have gestational diabetes) about 15 minutes before your appointment to give your baby some energy and hopefully he or she will put on a show for us!
Whoever you like! Your partner, other children, grandparents, close friends, etc! Maybe you have someone close who is visiting while you are pregnant and won’t be here when the baby is born so you’d like to introduce them to your baby while they are here!
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee perfect images every time due to different factors such as, baby position, amount of fluid around the baby or body shape of the mother. However, if we feel that you would benefit from returning for a rescan, we will happily rebook you free of charge.
Extensive studies over the last 30 years have shown that ultrasound has no known risks to either mothers or their babies.
