Gender assessment is an optional feature and will not be disclosed to you without your request. Gender assessment if desired is included with package of your choice. Adequate fetal positioning and gestational age is essential to assessing the baby’s gender. The ultrasonographer will give you her or his best assessment.
We recommend clients schedule in advance for better preparation and clearer images; however, there may be appointments available for early pregnancy scans, such as early confirmation and gender reveals. We suggest calling ahead to secure same-day accommodations.
Overall hydration increases the amount of amniotic fluid around the baby which translates into better pictures. It is important that you drink lots of water in the days leading up to your 3D/4D ultrasound. We suggest drinking at least 1.5 liters of water per day, in addition to any other liquid, for two weeks before your scan. No caffeine or Sugary drinks on the day of your 3D/4D or 5D ultrasound scan however, we will have you empty your bladder before beginning as to optimize visualization. This is different from traditional ultrasounds!
Yes, ultrasound has been used safely in obstetrics for over 30 years. There is no evidence of any harmful effects from the use of ultrasound. We believe in informed consent, and therefore offer you the following link and ask you to form your own opinion.
The fourth dimension is time, which means that your baby can be viewed in real time. You will see your baby moving, and, with a little luck, you might catch a yawn, a hiccup or even thumb sucking.
Images are obtained between 15-25 and 6-40 weeks of pregnancy. Up to 24 weeks gestation, your baby is likely to be so small that the entire body will appear within the image frame at once. Images taken beyond 28 weeks most closely resemble features at birth as your baby’s fat deposits have been laid down and “fill out” your baby’s face. Ideally, the best images are obtained between 26-32 weeks of gestation. Image quality varies from scan to scan depending on many factors including fetal position, location of the placenta, quantity of amniotic fluid around the baby and maternal body habitus. For these reasons, the quality of images cannot be guaranteed.
Your 3D ultrasound session is for non-diagnostic purposes only. We request that your routine 18-20 week diagnostic scan, as ordered by your health care provider, be completed, and that you have received the results before the 3D imaging session. We encourage you to discuss having a 3D Fetal Imaging ultrasound session with your health care provider.
