You can expect to have at least one, or likely multiple ultrasounds during your pregnancy. This technology does more than give you a sonogram picture for your baby book. The information from an ultrasound can confirm your baby is healthy and diagnose potential issues.

This episode is a must-listen if you are considering a 3D or 4D ultrasound of your baby.
