A 4D scan in an ultrasound examination that lets you have a full
view of your unborn child. Seeing it in three dimensions, in color
and moving around is a very special moment in the life of any
parent.
The Dunedin branch of LookWho’sKickin’ is pleased to
offer 3 and 4D ultrasounds to all its clients in the area and
beyond. Having this procedure done at one of our luxurious locations
is one of the most emotional moments in a parent’s life. To see
their unborn in real time while growing inside the mother. Not only
does it give us an idea of the growth rate and health of the child,
it gives the parents and family a chance to meet them long before
they enter the world.
The 3 and 4D scan uses exactly the same
ultrasound technology used in medical ultrasounds. The only
difference is with the computing that interprets the signals. Our
computers can create 3D images of the child where many of the
standard ultrasounds cannot. The 4D is exactly the same as 3D except
it’s a movie instead of a picture, the extra “D” or dimension being
time. It is truly the best way possible of seeing your child
growing, and moving around inside the womb.
The procedure is
perfectly safe and has been used on millions of mothers throughout
the world for over 30 years now. It is recognized as the best form
of non-invasive study of unborn children currently available, which
is why we at LookWho’sKickin’ take pride in being able to offer this
kind of service to parents.
The scan, while offering an
unrivalled view of your child doesn’t replace the standard
ultrasounds your physician will make. They are the only ones that
will identify any issues and be medically valid for diagnosis. Our
ultrasounds is more for the emotional value rather than physical. We
offer the ability to create more of a bond with the unborn and allow
the rest of the family to join in the excitement.
There may
be times when our procedure discovers something and we will suggest
taking the picture or movie to a doctor for further diagnosis. While
out staff is fully trained and qualified, there is no substitute for
the dedicated medical attention that your physician provides.
The best time to come and visit LookWho’sKickin’ is between 24
and 32 weeks. Before 24 weeks there isn’t much physical substance to
the child. It will appear skeletal and not move all that much. After
32 weeks there can be a lack of amniotic fluid around the baby,
which makes getting a good ultrasound difficult.
The next
time you’re in Dunedin why not pop into our office and schedule an
appointment? Let our staff look after you and give you one of the
most emotional journeys a parent can make.
