The obvious enjoyment for the parents is that they are able to receive an image of their baby and will get their first look at the child.

What Is an Ultrasound?

For most of our history, our knowledge of our bodies and its system have only been viewed skin deep. But thankfully, new modern medicine has been able to use sound waves to see beyond the skin. It has enabled us to be able to see our babies in live-action.

When you go for your ultrasound appointment, a licensed practitioner will use ultrasound technology to “listen” to the sounds waves that are directed from the equipment and bounce back, producing a diagnostic image.

If you’re pregnant, you probably would like to know the different types of ultrasound that are offered.

2D ultrasound– Our traditional method where we produce two-dimensional or flat images of your baby. It can be used to see the internal organs and determine its gestational age, gender, and health.
3D ultrasound– The same sound waves in 2D are used from various angles, enabling the ultrasound technology to “see” your baby in a three-dimensional image. A process known as “surface rendering.
4D Ultrasound- The images that are produced from 3-D ultrasound are constantly updated, producing motion resulting in creating a moving picture of your baby.

Why Should I Get an Ultrasound?

Mothers traditionally go for an ultrasound to check for a variety of factors during their pregnancy such as:

How the baby is developing.
The baby’s age
Possible complications in the uterus, ovaries, cervix, or placenta.
How many babies you are carrying.
Any problem you or your baby may have.
The baby’s heart rate.
The baby’s position and growth in the uterus.
Signs of Down Syndrome.

3-D ultrasound technology is still recent. It’s technology was first developed back in 1975, and it’s first images of a fetus were captured in 1986.
