Capturing Baby’s Smile in a Womb with 3D and 4D Ultrasounds

3D/4D ultrasound technology has made it possible to see babies smiling in their mothers’ wombs. It is believed that this is the babies’ way of practicing these reflex actions that they would need once they are born.

Los Angeles, Valley Village, California, Unites States – July 27, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —

While babies do a lot of things inside the womb other than growing – flip and roll, yawn, kick and poke, suck thumbs, and stick their tongues out, and even have hiccups from time to time – there is without a doubt one thing that can’t wait to be seen, and it is the smile!

The new 3D/4D ultrasound technology has made it possible to see babies smiling – and even crying – in their mothers’ wombs. It is believed that this is the babies’ way of practicing these reflex actions that they would need once they are born. Although it is difficult to capture the baby’s image in the act of smiling, it is possible with 3D and 4D ultrasound. The new technology takes the entire ultrasound experience to a whole new level, making it possible for expectant parents to bond with their child even before he is born.

Interesting Facts about Babies Reflexes inside the Womb

According to Professor Stuart Campbell, head of the research team that documented babies’ facial expressions in the womb, the belief that babies learn how to smile from their parents or caregivers is not accurate. It is more an indication of the trouble-free and calm existence inside the womb, and how babies react to the new strange environment they suddenly find themselves in.

Professor Campbell also said that aside from smiling, babies also test other reflex facial expressions in the womb. Not too many people are aware that unborn babies are capable of performing a number of facial expressions. Baby ultrasound has shown that babies blink and make breathing movements as well. The fact that they blink and open their eyelids when the environment is extremely dark, and they perform breathing movements when there’s no air inside seem to indicate that the babies preparing for birth.

Compared to the “see-through” conventional 2D ultrasound, 3D/4D ultrasound can show the baby’s skin, the toes and fingers, as well as the finer details of the facial expressions and features. Because babies sleep most of the time while inside the womb, yawns and eyes closing and opening are more frequently captured than smiling.

Increasing the Chances of Seeing The Baby Smiling

Before booking an ultrasound 3D/4D appointment, inquire first about the machine the facility is using. The best ultrasound equipment are made by GE such as the Voluson 730 Expert. While the staff’s training level and the particular technology used by the facility are important factors, it is recommended to look for one that uses a GE equipment that provides with better chances of capturing a “smile shot” of the baby.

The baby must be in an ideal position so the ultrasound technician can get a clear view of his face. However, there is no guarantee that the baby will decide to smile. To wake the baby up before the shoot, moms can try eating sweets or drinking a glass of sugary fruit juice. Sometimes, playing familiar music would work.

Ultimately, it is up to the baby if she or he wants to oblige with a smile or not. If he or she does, then, the expert ultrasound technician can be sure to capture the moment.
