You have the opportunity to get your sonogram in a variety of ways. A sonographer gives you the option of having a 3d ultrasound Ohio done, which is a three dimensional picture of your unborn child when you go in to have your checkups. The steps taken at all offices may vary, but the results are generally the same regardless of the professional completing your session.
The general time frame for having this type completed is between twenty-eight and thirty-two weeks of gestation. This gives the parents the option of seeing details on their baby unlike a normal 2 dimensional picture does. The third dimension offers depth perception, better viewing of length and girth as well as a good idea of the sexual organs that are sometimes missed at the first visit.
This can be requested as early as your fifth month but would not have as good a result when it comes to details. The growth your baby goes through is critical to what you will see, so monitoring growth in this way is good but may not offer you ideal results this early. Other ways to keep track of his or her growth would include abdominal measurements, to see that there is enough fluid and there are no abnormalities in size.
The session starts with you baring the entire stomach area so the doctor can put a bit of clear gel onto your abdomen. It's a water based product so you will not have a stain if it gets on your clothes. The wand, which is also called a transducer, is put on top of the gel so the sound waves that get sent into the amniotic fluid are able to be seen clearly as an image reflecting off your child.
The wand then gets moved to other areas where the view may be better to see the baby. Different methods are used like perineum, surface planing and trans-vaginal planing. Any of these could be employed to get the best view. It isn't a requirement to use more than one to get an ideal picture, but it is based on the skill of your doctor as to what will offer the best views.
Most doctors suggest drinking more water than you normally take in for at least a week prior, so the amniotic fluid is ample and clear to get a better view. Trans-vaginal involves a transducer being introduced vaginally to gain imaging while perineum offers an external probe view like the surface view on top of the abdomen. The use of all three together gives a very full and complete image that offers more than two dimensions.
You can however have an acceptable view using only one of these as well. Once completed, the screen will show you a picture of your child detailing fingers, toes, facial features and even sex of the child.
Your insurance will not pay for a third dimension type if considered a keepsake. This is still an option for you, however it will need to be paid for by other means in most cases. You should check your coverage for further information. For more options, speak with your obstetrician.
