Essential Information about 3D Baby Scan

To conduct the scan, a physician applies some gel on the belly of the expecting mother. A handheld probe is used, which is moved against the tummy to send the sound waves and capture the high resolution 3D images on the monitor. The high frequency sound waves are discharged from the transducer through the abdomen that shows the umbilical cord and placenta. Hence, the doctors can easily examine the health of the growing foetus.

3D baby scan Leeds is perform in the 27-34 weeks of the gestation period. It can enable the doctors to know the health status and discover any abnormality in the unborn baby. 3D is conducted for an extensive array of reasons like:

Finding baby's gestational age and size

Knowing baby's gender

Diagnose foetal or physical abnormalities
