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 average time frame that doctors suggest having this done is between your seventh and eighth month of pregnancy. It allows the parents to see details normally unable to be seen on a two dimensional ultrasound. This third dimension allows for seeing length, girth and even depth perception that many others are not able to see on a 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 will start by uncovering your abdomen and laying flat on the exam table while the doctor squirts a little clear gel onto the area they will begin at. It is water based, therefore no staining should take place on clothes. The transducer or wand is put on top of the cold jelly so that sound waves that the machine produces can be sent easier and reflected off of your child as to show a form.
The wand is put into different positions all over the abdomen so that a good view is obtained. There are a few ways to get these views including a perineum, surface and trans-vaginal plane. Any combination of the three could offer an entire view of your son or daughter. It isn't required to use any more than a single way to get the image.
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 could use just one and have an ideal image. When you are done, the screen will show you a perfect picture of what your baby looks like including the facial features, toes, fingers and possibly the sex.
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.
