3D and 4D Ultrasound
Technology is a wonderful gift to humankind. Ultrasound is among the one. It is a way to look inside the human body with high-frequency sound waves. For many years, we were using 2D ultrasound as a means to check the development and growth of fetus. It is the most harmless and unobtrusive method of monitoring the pregnancy. But, just like 2D ultrasounds, 3D and 4D ultrasound scans give you a unique opportunity to see your unborn baby during pregnancy. 2-D often is more efficient. We usually don’t need 3-D to assess how your baby is developing. While 3-D can give a nice picture of the outside of your baby, 2-D ultrasound is really the standard that has been developed by experts to look for abnormalities in development and growth of your baby.

How 3D and 4D ultrasound works?
Typically, 2D ultrasound is done by sending the sound waves through the body and the image is captured on a single plain. But, this 3D and 4D ultrasound is typically done in same manner except the sound waves are being sent straight down, they are sent in from a lot of different angles. These different angels allow 3-dimensional still photo, we can also make 4-dimensional videos from these ultrasounds. You can see your baby in real-time and can see their actual movement inside the womb giving a whole lot different feeling to expecting parents.
Are 3D and 4D ultrasound scans safe?
Ultrasound scans are safe as long as they are performed under a trained doctor. It is just as safe as the 2D scans and the only difference it makes, it converts sections of 2D images into 3D image.  4D ultrasound gives you moving images as a “live stream” video of the 3D images. This latest technology gives you more life-like images. The only purpose of this scan is to capture pictures and videos in 3D and 4D for you to cherish.
So, if you are the one who are considering a 3D and 4D ultrasound as an option to see your baby, then you should know that it will take your experience to a whole new level. It is a great way to build a bond with your unborn baby.
What is the best time to get a 3D or 4D scan?
The best time to get your 3D or 4D ultrasound scan done is in between your 27 weeks and 32 weeks pregnancy. Because before 27 weeks, the baby has a very little fat under her skin, which will make the face invisible and after 32 weeks, the baby's head may go deep down in your pelvis, and you won’t be able to see the baby’s face. Every pregnancy is different so your gynecologist will suggest you better regarding the scan.
