A 3D ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create three-dimensional images of the inside of the body. In the case of a 3D ultrasound during pregnancy, it is used to create a three-dimensional image of the developing fetus.

A 3D ultrasound works by sending high-frequency sound waves into the body, which bounce back off of internal organs and tissues. The returning sound waves are then converted into an image by a computer. The image created by a 3D ultrasound can provide a detailed view of the baby, including its facial features and movements.

3D ultrasounds are commonly used during pregnancy to help diagnose any potential problems with the fetus, such as abnormalities in the development of the heart or other organs. They can also be used to determine the sex of the baby, as well as to create images for parents to keep as a keepsake.

It’s important to note that while 3D ultrasounds can provide more detailed images than traditional 2D ultrasounds, they are not typically used for routine prenatal care. Instead, they are usually done when booking an elective ultrasound such as those provided at Sweet Moments Ultrasound Studio.
