the LookWho’sKickin’ portfolio and the staff look forward to
welcoming you into their new venue. Designed and decorated in the
typical LookWho’sKickin’ style, it offers a relaxing and calm place
to spend a day.
It is now acknowledged in the medical
community that expectant families react emotionally to images of the
unborn. The bond with the baby is formed much earlier and is much
stronger when they see it moving around inside the womb as with a 3
or 4D ultrasound. Having something they can look at or watch at home
also adds to the bond formed, and helps prepare the family for the
times ahead.
Compared to current 2D scanning techniques, 4D
gives you much more idea of what is happening with the baby. The
imaging is much clearer than was previously available and lets you
see much more of the action. In fact you can almost see the baby in
as much detail as when they are born!
Parents love to see
their baby yawning or stretching out as it will do once it’s born.
There is increasing anecdotal evidence that pregnant mothers who
have a 4D ultrasound scan bond much stronger with their child.
Fathers also have experienced this as they meet their child while
still in the womb.
The perfect time to come to us is between
24 and 32 weeks. Your standard anomaly scan is at 20, but the flesh
is a little thin then, so we prefer to wait until at least 24. The
baby is developed enough for most parents to be happy with what they
see. Details can be made out and even the sex can often be
determined here. If you don’t want to know, you will need to tell us
in advance. The equipment is so sensitive that it may accidentally
display the genitalia. If we know you don’t want the sex yet, we can
steer clear of that area.
Of course the opposite is so often
true. We have clients who have wanted to know the sex and the baby
hasn’t co-operated. Staying resolutely curled up so we couldn’t
tell!
The procedure itself is exactly the same as the one
your physician will have performed with you. This time round though
there is much more powerful computing going on behind the scenes
which allows us to be able to provide the 3 and 4D images.
Once complete you will be able to take away still images, or we will
send you a CD or DVD with the movie. We will then invite you to take
advantage of our pampering options such as shoulder massage or the
‘Mom-To-Be Therapeutic Massage’. It is the ideal opportunity to
marry an emotional experience with a physical one. Let us take care
of everything for you for a little while. Forget your worries,
forget your pregnancy, swollen ankles and other problems. Let us
massage all your cares away.
