An expectant parent’s first pregnancy ultrasound can be both informative and exciting.

Ultrasounds provide much needed medical information, such as the baby’s due date, identifying multiple pregnancies, obvious birth defects and checking on the baby’s growth and development.

It can also be a very exciting procedure for expectant parents, who get to see their baby for the first time, and put a visual image to their dreams and expectations of their new baby.

The images parents see can look different depending on the type of ultrasound the parents need or choose to get. Medical advances have given parents the opportunity to not only see their baby's image on a 2D screen, but to see their baby in 3D and 4D as well.
