Why Should I Have a 3D Ultrasound Scan?

Having a 3D Ultrasound scan, though considered "elective," is an indispensible way for expecting mothers to bond with their incoming baby. 3D Ultrasounds have obvious benefits, such as a beautiful photos and family fun, but the rewards reach beyond that of a luxury service.
Scientific studies have shown that:

  • The experience of 3D Ultrasound has a stronger impact on maternal-fetal bonding than just 2D Ultrasound. (link)
  • Seeing ultrasound images of their baby is reassuring for parents, making them less anxious and stressed out about having a child. (link, link)

Studies have also shown that multiple prenatal ultrasound scans do not hinder childhood development (link). Yet, it is still worthwhile to be cautious when choosing a 3D ultrasound provider. 3DBabyVu uses ONLY fully-credentialed sonographers -- registered, licensed medical sonographers (RDMS) with over two years of schooling and one year of supervised training -- and the same low OB scanning mode that your OB/GYN uses at his or her practice. Additionally, our sonographers are the most experienced in 3D Ultrasound, each having performed thousands of scans since we opened our doors in 2002. In contrast, many other ultrasound centers use individuals with no medical background, who have attended only a weekend's worth of classes.
