3D Ultrasound 30 Weeks

3D Ultrasound 30 Weeks

If you are considering a 3D ultrasound 30 weeks is considered to be the optimum time. At between 28 to 30 weeks the baby should have opened his eyes and will have his full facial features including eyebrows and eyelashes. While on the monitor you may be able to see the unborn baby moving and sucking his thumb, for example, or perhaps playing with his fingers or his toes. If the baby co-operates at this time, it is the best time to get a photograph. Soon after the 3d ultrasound 30 weeks gestational age the baby will probably start to move down the birth canal, and it can be difficult to get a good photograph which is in a good position. As the baby grows and moves down the birth canal, a good photo can be extremely difficult to negotiate.

At 30 weeks the baby weighs about 3 pounds and is about 15 inches long. The features of the face are starting to develop and all the fingers and toes are in place. If you have a 3D ultrasound done around this time, you will see the baby moving about and even smiling. As you see the hands and feet moving about, you will understand where those kicks have been coming from that sometimes make parts of your stomach stick out. In ultrasound pictures at this stage, you may even see the baby sucking its thumb. It is also possible to determine for sure the sex of the baby. If you don't want to know if you're going to have a boy or a girl, the technician can make sure that you don't see that part of the pictures.
