Isn't technology a wonderful thing? During your elective ultrasound at Foothills Center for Women, we will perform a limited diagnostic scan, which includes position of the baby, number of babies in the pregnancy and confirmation of the babys heart rate. It's much more powerful than the image displayed on 3d ultrasound, which is still important.
Through this technology, even the facial features of the baby come very clear in the pictures. A fetal ultrasound picture should show that the child measures around 8 - 11mm, but you will find it difficult to see which way up it is. By month three the baby will begin to move around, but you won't feel anything.
Keep in mind that the earlier you have your sex of baby ultrasound, the harder it is to tell your child's gender. We know how important it is to capture your baby as he or she is in the womb, and we will make every effort to create a keepsake that will last a lifetime.
While a lot of people choose a private facility, sometimes people want to have the convenience of having their 4D ultrasounds done right in the comforts of their doctors office. So it's unlikely that these scans will replace normal 2D scans used for routine maternity care in the NHS.
Ultrasound scans are invaluable for doctors and medical practitioners, as they have the opportunity to monitor and measure the unborn baby, ensuring that the child is growing and developing as it should, and can also give an indication of any potential problems with the health and development of the unborn child.
