How many weeks is the best time for color Doppler ultrasound during pregnancy

As a pregnant woman, B-ultrasound is an essential part of your physical examination. In the past, B-ultrasound was in black and white, but now with the advancement of technology, B-ultrasound has gradually become the current color ultrasound. So, do pregnant mothers want to know when is the best time to do color ultrasound? Today, the editor will tell you when is the best time for pregnant women to do color ultrasound.

How much does 4D color Doppler ultrasound cost?

Compared with traditional B-ultrasound, four-dimensional color ultrasound is no longer just about feeling the baby's breathing and movement, but can witness their every move and cute appearance with your own eyes. More importantly, four-dimensional color ultrasound can observe the growth and development of the fetus in the uterus from multiple directions and angles, providing an accurate scientific basis for the early diagnosis of congenital surface malformations and congenital heart diseases of the fetus.

Therefore, the price of four-dimensional color ultrasound is higher than that of traditional B-ultrasound, but the price of four-dimensional color ultrasound varies in each city and each hospital, generally between 300-400 yuan.

When is the best time to do 4D color Doppler ultrasound?

The best time to do four-dimensional color ultrasound varies from person to person, and the results will be different depending on the needs of the four-dimensional color ultrasound.

Generally speaking, pregnancy can be divided into three stages: early pregnancy (January to March), mid-pregnancy (March to June), and late pregnancy (June to September). The four-dimensional color ultrasound results taken in these three periods are also different.

The best time to do a four-dimensional color ultrasound is during the 5th to 8th month of pregnancy (20-28 weeks), because the fetus's limbs and major organs have all developed during this period, and the amniotic fluid is more suitable for fetal malformation screening. However, due to individual differences among pregnant women, please contact your doctor for the specific time and set the time according to the doctor's instructions.

1. To take a full-body picture of the fetus: You can choose to do a four-dimensional color ultrasound in the early pregnancy. At this time, the fetus is still small, and the baby's whole body can be photographed through the instrument. It is worth reminding that it is not recommended to do a four-dimensional color ultrasound in January and February, and there is controversy about doing the four-dimensional during this pregnancy.

2. To check for external defects of the fetus: You can choose to do a four-dimensional color ultrasound in the second or third trimester. At this time, the baby's body has developed to a certain extent, and it is impossible to take a whole body picture of the baby, but you can observe the shape of a certain part of the baby.

The above is what I want to introduce to you today about the best time for expectant mothers to have color ultrasound. I hope my sharing will be helpful to all expectant mothers. In normal times, expectant mothers should pay more attention to their diet and rest, and avoid overwork. The editor also wishes all expectant mothers good health.
