What can I do if my baby doesn't cooperate with the four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound? How can I get my baby to cooperate with the four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound?

We all know that four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound is a common prenatal examination item. Almost all pregnant mothers will do four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound, which can better understand the development of the fetus. When doing four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound, the cooperation of the baby and the mother is required. So what should I do if the baby does not cooperate with the four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound? Let's take a closer look!

What should I do if my baby does not cooperate with the 4D color Doppler ultrasound?

1. Exercise

Pregnant women's heart rate will increase after exercise, and fetal movement will also increase slightly, such as climbing stairs, walking, etc. I remember that when I did a 4D color ultrasound of my first child, the fetus's hands did not cover the face successfully, so the doctor asked me to climb the stairs. After climbing the stairs, the examination was normal.

2. Check when the fetus is active

During pregnancy, we will find that the baby's fetal movements will be relatively frequent in a certain period of time, which means that the fetus is more active in the uterus at this time, which is also conducive to four-dimensional color ultrasound.

3. Play music or talk to your baby

Many people may wonder if the fetus can hear sounds in the belly? In fact, the fetus's ear is basically formed at 8 weeks of pregnancy, has hearing function at 20 weeks of pregnancy, and can respond to different sounds at 24 weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, you can play music for the baby in the belly, talk to the baby, and use sound to increase the baby's activity and make the baby's body position suitable for 4D color Doppler ultrasound.

4. Eating

If the four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound is not successful at one time, the doctor will also recommend the pregnant mother to eat something. Eating is because the pregnant mother supplements nutrition, the blood sugar level increases, the fetus will absorb rich nutrition through the umbilical cord blood, the blood circulation will accelerate, and the fetal activities will become relatively frequent.

How long does it take to do a 4D color Doppler ultrasound?

Generally speaking, a 4D color Doppler ultrasound scan for pregnant women should be done within half an hour, and usually takes more than 10 minutes. Some may take a day or even two days, and need to make multiple adjustments to get a comprehensive view, which is quite troublesome. The baby always gives you a big back, and there is nothing you can do about it.

The time is too short to see the whole picture. Some mothers complained that the ultrasound report was written so simply that they were always worried.

The time is too long, and I am tired of lying down, and the baby can't stand it. Some mothers said that after doing the four-dimensional scan, they had stomach pain for several days after returning home, and they were very exhausted.

What should you pay attention to when doing four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound?

Book in advance

When checking, try to make an appointment for the next prenatal check-up in advance to avoid going directly to the hospital and waiting too long, which may cause the pregnant woman to be in a bad mood and affect the examination.

No fasting required

If there is no blood draw on the day of the examination, it is best to eat and drink enough at home before going to the hospital for examination. This way the fetus will have physical activity and will have more strength after eating.

Emptying the bladder

When doing a four-dimensional color ultrasound, you don't need to hold your urine like in early pregnancy. You need to empty your bladder at this time because you need to leave space for the fetus to move around to avoid squeezing the fetus.

In short, four-dimensional color ultrasound is a very important examination. Pregnant mothers must pay attention to it and not miss the best time to examine the fetus due to their own reasons. If some problems occur, it is not only irresponsible to themselves, but also to the fetus. Therefore, expectant mothers must communicate with the doctor in advance to avoid forgetting.
