Becoming a parent can be rather exciting even
if one would have to wake up in the wee hours to bottle feed the baby or even
if he is both a scream and poop machine, having a baby is definitely a joyful
occasion.
Before, parents-to-be were already so excited
when they see the first ultrasound photo of their child but these photos were
limited in terms of graphics since they weren’t in 3D or 4D. Today however,
women carrying a child now have the choice of getting a 4D ultrasound.
The idea of getting an ultrasound of course is
not only to see your son or daughter’s cute face but to see if the development
of the child inside the womb is developing normally. Technicalities aside
though, getting a 4D ultrasound to see your child for the first time is
definitely a good idea. Imagine seeing what kind of chin he or she will have.
Will the baby have his or her father’s chin or will he or she get yours? These
are fun things to think about when expecting a child and no one can deny the
joy of parents-to-be when talking about these things.
What are 4D fetal ultrasounds? 4D ultrasounds
provide better images than its predecessor. Before, only 2D ultrasounds were
available but as medical advancements progressed, experts were able to develop
the technology to better see the development of the child inside the womb.
One has to take note that there are limits to
getting ultrasound no matter what kind it is. Only a recommended number of
times should this be done according to experts. But how much will a 4D
ultrasound cost? The average cost of a 4D ultrasound procedure is around $200
to $300. There are some clinics however that offer discounts. Make sure you do your research to insure you find an OBGYN that offers 4D ultrasound as not all do.
