Medical evidence seems almost unanimous that 3D 4D Ultrasound and HD Live ultrasounds add a lot to the pregnancy experience. It is now widely acknowledged that expectant parents and siblings react emotionally to images of the unborn. It is now recognized that the family bonds with the unborn baby before the baby is born and is naturally formed much earlier before the baby is here. The bond before birth is measurably stronger when you can see it moving around inside womb as with a 3D 4D ultrasound or HD Live Ultrasound.
Here are a few of many excerpts from medical journals from around the world that promote the use of 3D 4D Ultrasound and HD Live ultrasounds..

The article above that was published, called the “Effects of ultrasound on maternal-fetal bonding: a comparison of two- and three-dimensional imaging”, reviews the maternal-fetal bonding experience with those parents who received a 4 D ultrasound compared to those parents that did not. The study confirmed that ‘patients that had a 3D 4D ultrasound or a HD Live Ultrasound examination consistently had higher scores in “maternal-fetal bonding” than those having a 2D ultrasound examination alone (standard 2D imaging in the doctors office.for the measuring of maternal-fetal bonding.

The article above, called “Three-dimensional ultrasound experience in obstetrics’”, reviewed over 60 published scientific papers on the subject information of 3D 4D ultrasound or HD Live Ultrasound. In the article, these authors confirmed that the bonding effect between the parents and their future offspring is becoming more and more evident with the use of 3D 4D ultrasound or HD Live Ultrasound technology.
So not only do you have anecdotal evidence from your friends and other mothers who have experienced these scans, but scientific evidence has been performed to confirm this evidence.. It is a truly unmissable experience that every expectant mother should enjoy.
These 3D scans are a ‘value-add’ service, which are in addition to your standard prenatal care. 3D 4D Ultrasound or HD Live Ultrasound are a more ‘emotional’ experience that your physician may not have the time and resource to assist you with. In most doctors offices, family members are not permitted to enjoy the prenatal appointments due to confidentiality reasons, but with the extra 3D 4D ultrasound or HD Live Ultrasound, you will be actively encouraged to include your immediate family in the experience with your consent, which will allow you to enjoy your pregnancy with your loved ones and have cherished memories in seeing your baby in the womb for the first time.
