3-D/4-D ultrasonography is sometimes necessary for additional examination (e.g. if a physician suspects congenital defect). Yet happily, prospective parents most often select this examination procedure for their own joyful record of the pregnancy. This type of ultrasonography complements data received from 2-D ultrasonography - presenting a fuller picture of the baby's gender and appearance. This first snapshot of the baby is a beautiful and touching memento for the loving parents. 3-D/4-D ultrasonography is only performed in the event of specific medical need.
Cardiotocography of the fetus is performed to more precisely evaluate the future baby's health. The fetus' heart tones can be measured and recorded with a specialized device from the 38th week.
