The 4D package includes:
· A 45 minute ultrasound session recorded on a DVD If you are planning on having one 4D ultrasound, the best time is between 28-32 weeks to see nice chubby cheeks, but before the baby has gotten too big to move around if they are not cooperating. |
Extensive studies have found that ultrasound has never been shown to cause harm to mother or baby. 3D/4D scanning, when performed properly, uses similar ultrasound waves as the traditional 2D imaging in medical offices.
HPV Vaccine
We are pleased to offer the new HPV vaccine for women up to the age of 26. The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) prevents infection of four strains of HPV—two strains (16, 18) that cause 70% of cervical cancer cases and two strains (6, 11) that cause 90% of genital warts cases. It does not protect against all types of cervical cancer-causing HPV. Therefore, regular Pap tests remain a critical tool for early detection of precancerous cells. Gardasil should be administered in three doses over six months. Presently, there is only enough research to show vaccine effectiveness for 5 years.
