3D and 4D ultrasound
3D ultrasound gives still images of your baby in three dimensions — you can see the face, nose, mouth, and body. 4D ultrasound is the same, but with live movement — you can see your baby yawn, move their hands, and kick in real time.
Best timing: week 24-32
Images often improve later in the window.
Image quality
Image quality depends on amniotic fluid levels, the baby's position, and placenta position. If the baby is facing inward in the uterus, or there is little fluid in front of the face, it can be difficult to get good 3D images.
