Is 24 weeks of pregnancy a good time for a 4D ultrasound?

By Silvia Azaña Gutiérrez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 06/21/2023

A 4D ultrasound is not one of the usual pregnancy monitoring ultrasounds, but is an ultrasound that is usually done just to see the baby's features.

When it is performed, it is usually expected at 26-30 weeks of pregnancy, around week 28, but it could be performed between weeks 25 to 32.

It is not recommended after this week, as fetal size and decreased amniotic fluid may make imaging difficult.
