Can I still get 3D ultrasound face pictures if my baby is breech?
Yes!!! When a Baby is Breech, this means that there head is not down. When the head is positioned 'up' it can be tougher to see the face.
A trick I use, is angling the ultrasound probe, & sometimes having mom sit straight up for the ultrasound, instead of lying down.
That did the trick for this baby, who is 33 weeks 5 days and breech.
I mean seriously, how cute are those toes?!
Can I still get 3D face pictures if I have an anterior placenta?
Yes!!! Baby's face can be tough to see, especially when there is an anterior placenta. But with a little adjusting, we can see this little cutie's face at 29 Weeks 4 Days! She's an absolute doll! How did we do it? It's all about the angles. By bringing the transducer to the side of mom's belly and angling back, we can see more of this little girls' face.

What If I have An Anterior Placenta AND A Frank Breech Baby?
This little guy is Frank Breech with an Anterior Placenta. How did we do it? Again, it's all about the angles. By bringing the transducer to the top and side of mom's belly and angling back, we were able to get some beautiful pictures! This first picture shows baby's position with the legs up over the head.
