Many times the babies are in a position that they find to be comfortable and won’t move. Ultrasound companies advertise images for 3D/4D that are often difficult to reproduce.

Don’t be upset if your sonographer cannot get those classic pictures you always dreamt of or seen on the Internet.

I like 28-32 weeks because if there are last minute issues we still have at least 8-10 weeks to make management changes. The reason we wait until the 3rd trimester is that babies have finally laid down fat in their cheeks.

You can do it later than that in fact I have performed some terrific exams at term. The ideal time for the 3D/4D scan is between 28 and 34 weeks.A breech baby at term is almost a guaranteed C-section. It is much easier if you find out before 34 weeks to try to get the baby to move. The position of the baby at this point is key because if the baby is breech (meaning feet first or butt first instead of head down) than there is still time for the mom to try to get the baby to move.There are lots of great techniques to get a breech baby to flip and often a chiropractor or acupuncturist can help.I go over the position of the baby, the weight of the baby and review the anatomy in detail.

I perform a detailed exam during the 3D/4D scan, which I affectionately call the baby’s first “in utero”pediatric visit.Besides the cool pictures that come along with the third trimester scan, this is an important time to review the baby’s world one last time.This is considered an elective ultrasound session since most insurance companies do not cover the cost of an ultrasound beyond the 18-20 week scan. The third trimester is the most common time for patients to request the 3D/4D sonogram.
