3D/4D & 5D (HD Live)
ULTRASOUNDS

We capture the best images of your baby's face during the last trimester.  We recommend the ideal time to have a 3D/4D & 5D (HD Live) ultrasound performed is typically between 30-34 weeks, though we often capture vivid images until until 38 weeks.  (Fuller-figured women are encouraged to wait until at least 32 weeks.)  Many factors determine the clarity of the ultrasound which include your little one's gestational age, size and position, the location of placenta, body habitus, and more.  As your little one accumulates body fat, the characteristics develop which results in finer image detail. 

​

FACT:   Babies often have "more space" during the last trimester, not less.    It's natural to feel that way because pregnant moms feel like they are "out of room".  Having an ultrasound performed earlier in the pregnancy doesn't mean the baby has more space and rarely produces better images.  More often, it's the opposite - as the baby grows and the uterus expands, the distance or space between the front and the back of the uterus increases. resulting in "more space".

​

We know you want to see your baby and to capture the best ultrasound pictures possible.  We do too!  At this stage, we promise that if we are unable to capture your baby's face, we will invite you back for a second visit at no additional charge.
