A 4D ultrasound is a unique way to see your baby in real time before they’re born. It’s a “4D” ultrasound because it adds the fourth dimension of time to the equation, giving you a live-action video of your baby.
With a 4D ultrasound you can fall in love with your baby and welcome them to the family even before birth. You can also capture precious moments you might never have a chance to see again—not quite in this way, and never again in this context.
The five moments are:
Yawning & stretching
Seeing facial expressions
Thumb sucking
Kicks and wriggles
Gender reveals
Can I really see my baby yawn with 4D ultrasound?
You absolutely can. The first yawn or stretch is a precious little sign of your baby relaxing in the womb.
This subtle, real-time movement is captured in crystal clear video.
Will a 4D ultrasound show my baby’s facial expressions?
Smiles, frowns, little nose wrinkles?
You can see it all when you schedule a 4D ultrasound.
At 26 to 34 weeks of pregnancy, your baby has a temperament even in the womb. You might get a sense of whether your baby is curious, playful, or bold.
Of course, you shouldn’t read too much into what you see. You’re only getting a glimpse, and your child will have a lot of development to do over the years. Nevertheless, understanding a little more about the baby that’s forming may offer hints about how you can best serve your baby.
Do babies suck their thumbs before they’re born?
Thumbsucking is a classic fetal behavior. Even a fetus needs a little bit of comfort!
4D ultrasounds give you a clear, detailed view of your baby’s little fingers.
You might not actually see thumbsucking, but you will get a chance to count them all, reducing a little bit of anxiety before the baby is born.
Can a 4D ultrasounds capture kicks and wriggles?
A 4D ultrasound can capture an energetic baby as they wriggle and play in the womb. There’s something special about seeing the kicks instead of merely feeling them.
Watching kicks and wriggles also gives your family members a window into what the baby is doing, one they didn’t have before!
Will a 4D ultrasound reveal my baby’s gender?
A 4D ultrasound is the ultimate gender reveal technology. You’ll see a clear, detailed, real-time view of your baby’s anatomy.
You’ll get the information you need to finally start choosing the right names and nursery decorations!
Often, the gender reveal is the primary reason why families seek out 4D ultrasounds.
Can I keep my 4D ultrasound videos?
Absolutely. 4D ultrasound videos become a cherished keepsake for many parents.
It can be the first video that documents your baby’s little life, perhaps the first of many! You can share it with family members and friends so they can enjoy that little touch of magic for themselves.
