At Video Prenatal, the ideal time to schedule a 3D ultrasound is typically between 26 and 32 weeks of pregnancy. During this window, your baby is large enough to capture detailed images, and the amount of amniotic fluid around them is optimal for clear imaging. If you’re earlier than 26 weeks, your baby might be too small to capture the best detail.
Yes! Just like traditional ultrasounds, 3D ultrasounds at Video Prenatal are safe and non-invasive. We use sound waves (not radiation) to create images of your baby, with no known risks for either you or your baby. As always, if you have any concerns, feel free to discuss them with your healthcare provider before scheduling your appointment.
Yes, A 2D 3D ultrasound at Video Prenatal can help determine your baby’s gender, especially if the baby is in a good position and the genital area is clearly visible. While the accuracy depends on factors like the baby’s position and how far along you are, gender can be determined as early as 15 weeks. If the baby doesn’t cooperate, the technician will adjust positions to get a better angle and improve visibility. It’s a fun way to share the exciting news with your family and friends!
A typical 3D ultrasound session at Video Prenatal lasts between 30 minutes to an hour. The length of the session depends on your baby’s position, the amount of amniotic fluid, and how cooperative your little one is during the procedure. You’ll have plenty of time to view and capture precious images of your baby and may even get to hear their heartbeat!
While 3D ultrasounds offer highly detailed images, the quality can vary. Factors like your baby’s position, the amount of amniotic fluid, and the stage of pregnancy can affect image clarity. Sometimes, if the baby is facing the placenta or has their hands or feet in front of their face, it might be harder to get the perfect shot. But don’t worry, there’s still plenty of incredible moments to capture!
