The main difference between 2D, 3D and 4D ultrasounds lies in the image they provide:

1. 2D ultrasound: Provides two-dimensional black-and-white images. This is the most common form and is used to assess basic anatomy and fetal position.

2. 3D ultrasound: Provides three-dimensional images that show more realistic details of the shape and surface of the fetus. It is used for more detailed visualization of facial and anatomical features.

3. 4D ultrasound: This is an extension of 3D ultrasound that adds the dimension of time, providing real-time images. It allows the movement of the fetus to be seen, such as facial gestures and body movements, providing a more "live" experience during the procedure.

While 2D ultrasound is standard and generally sufficient to assess fetal health, 3D and 4D ultrasounds offer a more detailed perspective and a richer visual experience, especially appreciated during pregnancy to observe the baby's appearance in a more realistic way.

Ideally, this is between weeks 26 and 30, when your baby has enough fat to show his or her facial features but still has room to move.

Yes, these ultrasounds use the same technology as standard 2D ultrasounds and are considered safe by medical experts.

Typically, a 4D ultrasound session lasts between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the position of the baby and the quality of the images.

Doppler measures blood flow, allowing assessment of circulation in the placenta and fetus, which is crucial for detecting potential problems.

Generally, it is recommended to follow your doctor's instructions, although in many cases obstetric ultrasounds can be scheduled at your own request.

Normally, no special preparation is required. It is recommended that you wear comfortable clothing and have a full bladder to facilitate viewing.
