Is 5D/HD LIVE Ultrasound Worth the Extra Expense?
HDLIVE Ultrasound, also known as 5D Ultrasound and HD Ultrasound, is a recent technological advance that allows for near crystal-clear video imaging of your baby in utero. View A Miracle has a variety of 2D, 3D/4D and 5D/HD LIVE Ultrasound packages available which are priced based on the technology being used to capture images of your baby.
Let’s take a look at the types of ultrasound available and how HDLIVE Ultrasound is different from all the rest.
2D Ultrasounds
Allows you to listen to your baby’s heartbeat and view a two dimensional black and white image of your baby. Seen here is a baby in utero at just 8 weeks using 2D ultrasound technology.
3D / 4D Ultrasounds
Allows you to see your baby in three-dimensional color. You can listen to your baby’s heartbeat and, in most cases, you will be able to see the four chambers of his/her heart as well as the kidney’s, bladder, spine, stomach and more. Both static and live images are captured during a 3D/4D Ultrasound. Seen here is a baby in utero at 31 weeks using 3D ultrasound technology.
5D /HD LIVE Ultrasounds
HD Ultrasound is the most advanced ultrasound technology available. 5D Ultrasound provides amazingly clear, high definition, three-dimensional, live video images of your baby. Seen here is a baby in utero at 31 weeks using 5D ultrasound technology.
If you want to see the clearest live image of your baby, then investing a little more in 5D Ultrasound is the option for you. Our HDLIVE Ultrasound packages are affordably priced and also include 2D and 3D/4D imaging/photos in addition to the live HD video of your baby. The ideal timing to come for your 3D/4D or 5D/HD LIVE ultrasound session is between your 26th-32nd week in pregnancy. Having twins? It is recommended to come earlier between your 22nd-24th week in pregnancy when the babies can more easily move into better positions for imaging.
