What are 5D ultrasounds like?
The ultrasound technique has progressed until we are already able to see our future baby in 5D, what does this new type of technique contribute?
Since we got pregnant, the only thing that comes to mind is what will our baby be like? Will it be a boy or a girl? Will it look like mom or dad? Thousands of questions assail us and, what a few years ago was unthinkable, today has come true . Nowadays, seeing the face of our baby when it is still in the mother’s womb is possible due to the great advances that we are experiencing in terms of ultrasound scans . If a few years ago we had the novelties of 4D ultrasound , now 5D ultrasound has just been installed among us. A whole world to discover before our eyes, a reality that years ago was unthinkable.
The 5D ultrasound is very similar to the 4D since it has an ultrasound that is capable of capturing images of the interior of the pregnant woman’s belly in movement and in real time, so we can see the fetus how it reacts right at the moment Of the test. Even so, 4D and 5D ultrasound have some differences that are worth highlighting.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 4D AND 5D ULTRASOUND?
The main difference that 5D ultrasound is characterized by is the improvement in sharpness , lighting and reality, so it seems that we have our baby right in front of us on the screen of the machine. Therefore, it allows us to know the most characteristic features of the baby, as well as their skin tone and their most personal gestures.
Thanks to 5D ultrasound we have witnessed a great advance in pregnancy, since thanks to its technology we can detect any malformation in the baby , even any disease, since by providing us with much more realistic images, an improvement in the visualization of morphology is produced. of the baby.
Although the 5D ultrasound can be performed in any period of pregnancy, it is best to do it from week 24, when the fetus is already in a fairly formed state and we can realistically see all its anatomy, and we can even see as in this phase of pregnancy our baby already sucks his thumb or makes faces and faces.
HOW CAN WE GET A 5D ULTRASOUND?
At present, as it is a fairly modern test and is not implemented in all centers in Spain, it is not subsidized, so those parents who want to see the face, the gestures and know their baby more exactly will have to pay to take the test. As it is a fairly new technology, the price of this test is around 60 euros , depending on the center where it is carried out.
One of the questions that future moms often ask themselves when they are going to do a test of this caliber is whether they have to prepare in any way or do they have to do something before the test for it to go well. Actually, you do not have to prepare in any way, all you have to do is go to the center where you are going to perform this pregnancy test and prepare yourself psychologically to see the face of your future baby. In many cases it is a disappointing test because that day the fetus is a bit shy, still or even appears on its back so we will not be able to see its face.
Living the experience of seeing our baby’s face when it is still inside the mother’s belly is something that just a few years ago was unthinkable but that thanks to new technologies has now become a reality.
