3D and 4D USG
3D and 4D ultrasound exams allow you to see your unborn baby in even more depth and detail than a standard 2D ultrasound. In 3D or 4D, you get to see the real image of the baby, i.e., not his/her internal organ but the skin, nose, tongue. You will be able to see what your baby is doing in the uterus, like kicking, yawning, etc. In the 2D screening, the parents can see a faded greyish color of the picture on the screen. This picture appears as the device scans through the baby and shows his/her internal organs.

Older moms and those women who can complications during pregnancy usually go for 3D and 4D sonograms.
The practitioner usually performs 2D sonograms to find out if there is any abnormality with the pregnancy. They serve a 2D test to examine amniotic fluid, fetus position, and any congenital disability.
3D and 4D sonograms examine the fetal abnormalities closely. They can record cleft lip and spine issues or analyze any other defects.
