We make no claims that 3-D as used in this examination is performed to better assess the baby for abnormalities. A routine Ultrasound examination should have already been performed to assess the gestational age of the fetus and to evaluate for fetal anomalies as well as the basic components of fetal anatomy recommended for screening.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Women seeking an elective prenatal Ultrasound with Meet the Baby Ultrasound must already be receiving treatment with a healthcare provider for prenatal care and have already undergone a medical, diagnostic Ultrasound ordered by their provider to confirm their due date, screen for fetal anomalies, and to look for any other pregnancy related issues.

The issues that we are evaluating in the elective prenatal Ultrasound session include a limited ultrasound scan to confirm heartbeat, the number of babies in the pregnancy, the position of the baby, and the placental location. Please note, at no time is this exam to be used in place of a complete diagnostic Ultrasound.

Extensive studies over 30 years have found that Ultrasound has not been shown to cause any harm to mother or baby. Routine scanning of all pregnancies is now normal throughout the United States. In 3D/4D/HD scanning exactly the same type and intensity of Ultrasound is used as with conventional 2D scanning.

Yes, appointments are necessary for all of our services.

Depending on the package you choose, the 4D/HD Ultrasound session will last between 10 and 30 minutes. If you have purchased the Gold or Platinum package, plan on spending 40 to 50 minutes depending on the babies position and cooperation during the ultrasound.

If you plan on having only one 4D Ultrasound examination, we would recommend having the examination performed between the 26th and 34th week of the pregnancy. However, excellent images of your baby can be obtained anytime after about 22 weeks of pregnancy. Many mothers obtain more than one 4D Ultrasound and have images to enjoy from their second and third trimesters.

Usually, but not always. Sometimes if the baby is persistently looking face down, i.e. towards your spine it may be difficult to see the baby’s face. If this happens, a repeat scan in one hour will usually succeed because the baby has turned to a favorable position. We make no promises that the images will be similar to those you might have seen elsewhere or even from our clinic, or that we can always meet everyone’s expectations.

Every baby scans differently, depending on its gestational age, position, amount of fluid, and mother’s condition. We promise to make every effort to obtain the best possible images of whatever parts of the baby that can be seen.

Yes. In fact, we encourage our clients to invite family and friends to attend the elective 4D/HD Ultrasound session. This is a joyous and wonderful experience, one that can be shared with your family and loved ones. All of our locations provide a spacious, comfortable family room setting, with an extra large viewing screen for your ultrasound visit. We can comfortably seat 8 to 10 guests, but there is no limit, so just bring’em all. Our seating is specifically arranged so that everyone in your party will have an excellent view of our large 100-inch screen 4D/HD images of the baby.

Yes, in most cases we can provide an indication of the sex of the baby. We can’t however guarantee that the baby will cooperate during your session. Certain factors such as body tissue content, developmental stage and fetal position all affect the ability to determine sex.

At this point, insurance does not cover the costs of our Ultrasounds. Since this is an elective procedure and is not intended to be a replacement for your doctor ordered Ultrasound, you will need to pay the cost of this Ultrasound as an out of pocket expense. We accept both cash and credit cards.

We use the state of the art ultrasound equipment to complete all Ultrasound examinations. The machine along with our specialty trained sonographers will provide you with the best 2D, 3D, 4D, and HDlive ultrasound experience available.

Please note, many organizations claim to use “state-of-the-art” equipment, when in fact they use older or inferior technology. Only the GE Voluson E8 generates 3D/HD images with amazing clarity and gives you the same clarity with 4D/HDlive imagery of your baby in motion. Our sonogram equipment allows you to see your baby in live motion video unlike any other on the market today.

We have packages to fit just about anyone’s budget. Please refer to our Ultrasound Pricing page for more information on available packages.
