We advise that you increase your water intake to 80oz of water per day starting at least 3 days before your appointment. Proper hydration will help provide a beautiful window for great 3D images.

Additionally, do not eat 2 hours prior to your appointment. Eating close to your appointment puts the baby to sleep. Bring a sugary drink to have during session. This gets baby awake and moving for better images.

2D scans are the traditional black and white images that are most common.

3D is a newer technology allowing to see depth in the ultrasound image

4D is the ability to watch the the 3D image in real time.

HD LIVE or FRV (Fetal Realistic View) is the newest technology which allows us to provide images with unparalleled quality. This is the technology in use at our facility.

All 3 of our locations use Samsung WS80A with FRV(Fetal Realistic view, also known as HD Live) They are upgraded to the latest software.

By using the latest technology we are able to provide you with some of the best ultrasound images available.

Most of the time we are able to see gender as early as 14 weeks. There are however factors that could prevent us from making a reliable determination, such as baby’s position or fluid clarity.

If you purchase a gender package and we cannot determine the sex we will reschedule a second visit free of charge.

Before 14 weeks the genital’s are not developed enough to see in ultrasound. There are other techniques to get it at 13 or even 12 weeks but I’ve found them to be unreliable. I don’t want to guess with something as important as gender. Our track record and reviews speak for themselves. We call gender consistently and reliably at 14 weeks.

The ultrasound images we obtain are dependent on your fluid and the position of the baby during the ultrasound. If baby is facing forward we can generally capture excellent images of baby’s face, hands, and feet. If baby is facing down that will pose a challenge with obtaining images of baby’s face.

During the 1st trimester it is not recommended to perform pulse Doppler (AKA hearing babys heartbeat) since the fetus is too small. It hasn’t been determined to be unsafe but it hasn’t been proven to be harmless either. So for your safety we choose not to do it.

Any clinics offering heartbeat during the first trimester could be putting your baby at risk.

Yes. Please call and book an appointment in advance.

We recommend all patients be under the care of an OB/GYN Doctor. The scans done by your doctor are diagnostic ultrasounds to check baby’s health. We offer an elective ultrasound for keepsake memories.

No. 3D/4D ultrasound is an Elective procedure not covered by insurance.

Yes. We highly recommend you bring anyone you would like to share this special experience with. Our facility is made to comfortably fit family members.
