What is a 4D Baby Bonding Experience Ultrasound?

We offer 4D ultrasounds as a way for parents and family to bond with their unborn baby. Through the use of high frequency sound waves an image is created of the baby and projected onto a screen. With this real time, life like images parents may be able to catch the baby smiling, sucking their thumb, or waving. Please note that Baby Bonding Experience is not a diagnostic ultrasound; it is for bonding purposes only.
