Ultrasound
2D, 3D, 4D…What's the Difference?
What are they, and why is everyone always talking about them? As an expectant mother, you’re excited to see your baby at every stage, from the first little dot on the monitor to the sweet kicking baby ready to enter this world. Every ultrasound is a moment to treasure.
Do these services replace my regular OB/GYN visits?Definitely not. You should still be under the care of your physician or nurse midwife (where appropriate).
What are the benefits of a 3D/4D ultrasound?Studies show the bonding experience provided by a 3D/4D ultrasound can help mothers improve their diets, exercise more frequently, and eliminate harmful behaviors such as smoking and drinking. For fathers and siblings, the chance to see the baby and create a pre-birth bond is instrumental in drawing the whole family closer during this time of change.
What exactly is a 3D or 4D ultrasound?A 3D ultrasound is performed using the exact same machine as a 2D ultrasound. The difference is a 2D ultrasound visualizes the baby in planes (or layers) and a 3D ultrasound looks at the surface of the baby. The term 4D simply means the element of motion has been added to a still 3D photo. 4D is also referred to as “3D Live”..
When is the best time to have a 3D/4D ultrasound?
Most 3D/4D ultrasounds are done between 24 and 34 weeks. Prior to 24 weeks, babies have not started putting on brown fat so they won’t have the “Gerber Baby” look. Around 27 to 28 weeks is usually considered the ideal time, because the baby does have some fat and still has plenty of room to move. After 34 weeks, the baby begins to get a little squished and may be facing the spine, which is the position for birth.
Why does it matter how much room the baby has to move?First of all, you’ll enjoy the viewing experience more if your baby has room to move around. Often you can watch little hands and feet in motion, toes and fingers wiggling, and see your baby’s face from all different angles. Second, if the baby is in a position that makes viewing difficult (facing the spine or covering its face with hands and feet), you have a better chance of repositioning your baby if there’s room for it to move.
Will I get great pictures like you see on the internet?Maybe. Several factors determine the quality of the ultrasound photos including:
· Amount of amniotic fluid: Sound waves travel through fluid to create the images. The more fluid around your baby, the clearer the photos will be.
· Location of placenta: Unfortunately, the location of the placenta is one factor you can’t change. The placenta can be on the front of the uterus, the back, or the side. When the placenta is on the front, it can block the baby’s face, because the sounds waves pick up the placenta as the same type of tissue as your baby.
· Maternal body tissue: If the mother is full figured, the sound waves have more tissue to travel through which causes grainier looking photos. If this is the case with you, it’s best to wait until around 32 weeks for your 3D/4D ultrasound because the tissue will be stretched out as your baby grows.
· Position of baby: If the baby is facing your spine, you’ll probably only get a photo of the back of its head or an occasional profile. The technician would then try to reposition the mother in an attempt to get the baby to move. This brings us back to the importance of having plenty of fluid.

Happy New Year!
Today was our first official business day of 2009 and we were very busy! We got a lot of phone calls booking appointments for January ultrasounds. We hope this is a sign of things to come for 2009! We are still running a winter special on the Look Who's Kickin 4d ultrasound "Deluxe" Package...our most popular 4d Ultrasound package for $179! We are getting a good response from our ad in the January issue of SW Florida Parent & Child magazine. Our deluxe package offers a 30 minute 4D ultrasound, 8 black and white photos, 4 color photos, a CD of all your ultrasound images & a DVD of your entire ultrasound session. We think this is a great deal...you get to cherish the most intimate moments of your pregnancy. We are proud to be serving the Fort Myers, Naples, Bonita Springs & Estero areas for all thier non-diagnostic ultrasound needs. Its nice to know that our name is getting out their and we are making a place for ourselves in the 4D ultrasound market! We look forward to a very fun and prosperous new year!!!
