Many parents want to learn more about their unborn child, and a prenatal ultrasound scan, such as a 3D or 4D ultrasound, allows them to do so using ultrasound equipment and a skilled sonographer.
During a pregnancy ultrasound, the following information is revealed:
- The ultrasound shows information on the baby’s health and size, as well as the health of their heart.
- The parents may see the baby’s general condition, which might provide them peace of mind.
- Thumb sucking is one of the baby’s habits while still in the womb.
- The baby’s gender is unknown.
How Safe Are 3d/4d Ultrasounds?
Because there is no radiation in 3D and 4D ultrasounds, they are just as safe as 2D scans. While not a serious risk, some parents are concerned about the rise in temperature induced by the sound waves utilised to create an image of the baby. The temperature rise is proportional to the length of the scan and the ultrasound device’s acoustic power. However, research indicates that the temperature increase is both safe and within an acceptable range. The temperature rises by around 1.5 degrees, and this is a temperature that is rarely achieved.
The temperature would have to be much higher for the infant to be injured, which is practically hard to achieve.
