Here are some tips and tricks from our Ultrasonographer to make the most out of your 3D Ultrasound!
Between 24-26 weeks, facial features are becoming more defined. This can be a good time to begin capturing 3D pictures of your baby.
Between 27-32 weeks is the best time to capture 3D images, because the baby has had time to build up body fat.
Between 33-37 weeks can also be ideal for 3D imaging, but only if baby will cooperate. The baby is getting larger and can begin to migrate deeper into the pelvis, so getting the desired pictures may be a little more challenging.
Drink a lot of water (about 48 oz) 45 minutes prior to the visit and (about 100 oz) the day before. Drinking a lot of water will increase the quality and clarity of your amniotic fluid which is like the “window” to view baby. The clearer the “window” the clearer the pictures.
Have a snack/small meal before the visit, and drink a glass orange juice or apple juice 30 minutes before the visit. This will get baby moving
Wear comfortable clothing, because you will need to have your pants slightly below your hips during the ultrasound.
