What to expect from a 3D/4D Well Being Pregnancy Scan
The sonographer will put some gel on your tummy and move a probe over the skin. The baby scan image will come up on a big screen television so that you can see all the structures that are being examined. The presentation of the baby and location of the placenta are established. Standard measurements are taken of the fetus’ body parts. This includes measurements of the head, abdomen and femur bone in the leg. The main organs (typically in the head, chest and abdomen) are examined. The baby’s weight is then estimated. The fetal breathing and movements will be monitored throughout the duration of the pregnancy scan. The amniotic fluid volume, placenta location and umbilical artery resistance index is sampled and calculated. Multiple 3D baby scan pictures and 4D clips will be taken of your baby throughout the scan.
