Baby Bonding Ultrasound
We connect to each other through our shared lived experiences. And pregnancy and birth are amongst the powerful experiences we can ever have. Utilising imaging technology enhances our own experiences further and also allows to share with our loved ones. Whilst we aim to capture great 3D images of your little one at every regular ultrasound, we also offer a dedicated ultrasound for bonding with your baby.
What is a Baby Bonding Scan
A 3D baby bonding ultrasound is a special type of non-medical ultrasound designed to give expectant parents a more detailed and lifelike view of their baby during pregnancy. Unlike standard diagnostic ultrasounds, which are used to assess your baby’s health and development, a 3D bonding scan focuses on creating clear, three-dimensional images that highlight your baby’s facial features, movements, and expressions in the womb. These ultrasounds are usually performed between 26 and 32 weeks of pregnancy, when there is enough fat under the baby’s skin to see the face clearly, but still enough amniotic fluid to produce quality images.
A 3D bonding ultrasound does not replace your routine medical ultrasounds and should be considered a complementary experience for emotional connection and enjoyment. It is important to have your standard medical ultrasounds completed as recommended by your healthcare provider to monitor your baby’s health. If the sonographer performing the 3D scan notices anything unusual, they will advise you to follow up with your doctor or midwife.
Overall, a 3D baby bonding scan can be a joyful and memorable way to see your baby’s face before birth and share the experience with loved ones. If you are considering one, speak with your healthcare provider or a trusted ultrasound provider to ensure it is performed at the appropriate time and by a qualified professional.
