The ability to choose to have a non-diagnostic ultrasound has been created largely in response to the technological advancements in ultrasound and a mother’s desire to share this bonding process with her family and friends in calm and relaxing atmosphere.

During an elective 3D/4D ultrasound you will be able to identify the baby’s heartbeat, check position, identify gender (if desired), document the number of babies, and obtain prenatal keepsake pictures so life like it’s truly unbelievable!

During your elective 3D/4D ultrasound here, you will spend quality time with your baby looking at colored life-like images using a volumetric analysis that creates 3 dimensional (3D) photos.

Added to this is time, the fourth dimension (4D) or the ability to view your baby move as he/she kicks a foot, sucks a thumb, or yawns.

This session is specifically focused on enhancing the bonding process before birth. It is felt that in some women this will change her level of awareness to the life that grows within and promote a change in unhealthy lifestyles to better protect her unborn child.

Your diagnostic ultrasound is a 2 dimensional (2D) scan specifically done to look for any gross abnormality. This fetal survey is best performed using the 2D technology around 18-20 weeks.

The images are various shades of grayscale and much of the exam is spent on cross-sectional images of the various anatomy of your baby. Your provider will generally allow a few minutes at the end of your exam to show you baby. The 3D/4D ultrasound technology is best on a baby with some layers of fat typically seen after 24-26 weeks.

Ultrasound has been used safely in obstetrics for over 35 years; during this time there has never been any documented harmful effects to mother or her baby before or after birth.

Currently many physicians require that women whom are experiencing difficulties or are carrying multiple babies undergo ultrasound scans monthly and even weekly throughout much of their 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy. Many of these exams will often last 30 to 50 minutes or longer with multiple babies.

If there were any known risks this would not be common practice. Elective ultrasound sessions last only 20 to 30 minutes at most, and much of this time is spent manipulating the images that have already been captured using software while the ultrasound beam is actually off.

We recommend that 3D/4D scans are usually performed after 24 weeks up to 34 weeks, when more animated facial images can be seen. Precious moments will all be recorded for you onto DVD. Precious baby gems, scanned for treasured memories!
