WHAT IS A 4D scan?

To all expecting parents out there, pregnancy ultrasounds has never been this exhilarating – and real. Before we even delve into the scintillating facts about 3D/4D scans, let’s get a few basics out of the way.

What actually is 4D Scan?

🎀 Sometimes called 4D Bonding Scan, 4D Scan is a non-invasive ultrasound procedure that isn’t painful at all. As you might expect, it uses the same technology as your gyno to deduce 3D images from the information relayed from the ultrasound machine. Of more importance, however, is that the term “4D” in reality refers to 3D images that are somewhat are moving in real-time. The experience is simply out of this world. Imagine viewing your fetus yawning or waving inside you. Impressive, right? Here are other amazing facts about 4D Scan in Germiston and other locations.

Is 4D Scan Safe?

🎀 Yes, it is. 4D Scans are a non-invasive procedure, meaning that it doesn’t tamper with the fetus and its internal environment. The whole procedure is state-of-the-art, tried and tested multiple times. In fact, it had to go through years of clinical trial to ascertain its safety. Oh yeah, it 100% sound and safe.

Will it Show the Gender of the Baby?

🎀 That is another resounding yes. Unlike traditional ultrasound machine that can detect baby’s gender in later trimesters, 4D Scan can tell if its a boy or a girl by the 14th week. If the fetus is in a favorable condition, you can get the gender even earlier than that.

Is 4D better than 2D & 3D?

🎀 That’s right. 2D Scan can only render a grayscale image that is typical of yesteryears’ ultrasound scans. In principle, 3D Scan offers surface-rendered image. It’s brownish-coloured image that is visible of your baby. Again, 4D is actually 3D in real-time. It's only with 360 video technology that these machines can render the images. The result is quite a sight.

It’s MOTIVATION MONDAYS!!

And todays motivation is this:

We all have goals, a big dream which seems to be too hard to reach or to much to achieve all at once.

We must understand that every good thing takes time! It’s ok if it doesn’t happen overnight, it will happen eventually if:

🎀 You take ONE major step towards your goals daily/weekly.
🎀 You CONSISTENTLY make moves towards achieving those goals.
🎀 Map out your vision! Instead of focusing on the 10 year plan, write down what you can achieve in 3 months - 3 years, and attack those those goals diligently!
🎀 Set up wise systems of consistent progression around yourself! Whether you are studying, working or running a business, always remember that it is talent that gets you through the door, but it is DISCIPLINE that keeps you in it!

As it is commonly said, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”

Be kind to yourself!

Hi there True Northers!

We’re Still on the topic of . Today, we discuss possible COMPLICATIONS.

If you have gestational diabetes, your baby may be at increased risk of:

🎀 Excessive birth weight. If your blood sugar level is higher than the standard range, it can cause your baby to grow too large. Very large babies — those who weigh 9 pounds or more — are more likely to become wedged in the birth canal, have birth injuries or need a C-section birth.

🎀 Early (preterm) birth. High blood sugar may increase the risk of early labor and delivery before the due date. Or early delivery may be recommended because the baby is large.

🎀 Serious breathing difficulties. Babies born early may experience respiratory distress syndrome — a condition that makes breathing difficult.

🎀 Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Sometimes babies have low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) shortly after birth. Severe episodes of hypoglycemia may cause seizures in the baby. Prompt feedings and sometimes an intravenous glucose solution can return the baby's blood sugar level to normal.

🎀 Obesity and type 2 diabetes later in life. Babies have a higher risk of developing obesity and type 2 diabetes later in life.

🎀 Stillbirth. Untreated gestational diabetes can result in a baby's death either before or shortly after birth.
Complications that may affect you

Gestational diabetes may also increase your risk of:

🎀 High blood pressure and preeclampsia. Gestational diabetes raises your risk of high blood pressure, as well as preeclampsia — a serious complication of pregnancy that causes high blood pressure and other symptoms that can threaten both your life and your baby's life.

🎀 Having a surgical delivery (C-section). You're more likely to have a C-section if you have gestational diabetes.

🎀 Future diabetes. If you have gestational diabetes, you're more likely to get it again during a future pregnancy. You also have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes as you get older.
