4D Ultrasounds - The Advantages and Disadvantages
sashagrate
utilizing the same sound waves used in 2D Ultrasounds but bending them
in different angles. The clarity of the images available offers many
advantages over 2D Ultrasounds, but it also comes with some
disadvantages.
Advantages
A 4D Ultrasounds provides a more detailed image of the baby than a
traditional 2D Ultrasounds. The images are more lifelike and give a
great indication of what your baby's physical features will look like.
A 4D Ultrasounds is able to give a very clear image of the babe's
facial features after the fifth month.
Unlike a traditional 2D Ultrasounds it is not necessary to have a full
bladder in order to obtain a clear image. Needless to say this is a
great relief to expectant mothers.
Disadvantages
The remarkably clear images can provide a false sense of reassurance
that there are no underlying physical problems with the unborn baby.
Mothers to be may decide that getting a 4D Ultrasounds is the cheap
alternative to a more substantial prenatal care program and may
discontinue this prenatal care under the assumption "everything is
ok." While a good tool for determining the physical condition of an
unborn baby. 4D Ultrasounds should never completely replace all other
prenatal care options.
Can give a false indication of the health of the baby i.e. do not
always accurately represent physical deformities? These "false
positives" can become more of an issue with an inexperienced
Ultrasounds technician. For example; harmless fetal cysts detected by
4D Ultrasounds, may lead to further and more invasive tests can
contribute to additional anxiety by the mother. There is also the
possibility of "scanning artifacts" such as duplicated body parts,
holes and unusual clefts, which usually go away after the Ultrasounds
probe has been moved slightly. An inexperienced technician might be
guilty of making this error. Again this can cause undue stress and
anxiety to the mother.
Ultimately the decision to go for 2D or 4D Ultrasounds is influenced
by the level of information the expected mother wishes to receive.
Sometimes too much information is not a good thing, however, and it
can lull you into a false sense of security. Sometimes it is exactly
what you need. In the end the choice is yours.
