Will my 3D/4D ultrasound replace the ultrasound that my prenatal healthcare provider orders/performs?Ībsolutely not! As medical professionals, we cannot stress enough the importance of your medical ultrasound. As a result, we cannot always guarantee image clarity or quality. It is important to remember that all images are dependent on the baby’s position, movement, size, placental position, maternal weight and the amount of surrounding amniotic fluid. Later ultrasounds (31 to 34 weeks) reveal improved facial features since the developing fat layer enhances these images, however less body due to decreased space in the womb. Earlier Ultrasounds (24 to 28 weeks) allow the expectant mother to see more whole body images of her baby. The best time is between 24-32 weeks gestation.
