Ultrasound at 12 weeks gestation
This pregnancy ultrasound video includes special split-screen imaging and shows you what your baby looks like at 12 weeks, when the fingernails and toenails begin to appear. At this time, your baby weighs about 4/5 of an ounce and is nearly 3 inches long.
A 3D ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to obtain an image of a developing fetus. The results allow a health care provider such as an obstetrician to get a clear view of the placenta as well as the umbilical cord. Non diagnostic or elective ultrasounds have recently gained popularity, allowing families to bond with their baby prior to birth.
