You do not need a full bladder for this visit. However, we recommend that you drink 8 to 10 glasses of water for two weeks prior to the appointment so there is enough amniotic fluid. This is a key element to see your baby in 3D/4D.
We also recommend you eat something right before your appointment to try and increase your baby’s activity for your session.

A 3D ultrasound is a static 3 dimensional image of your baby. 4D adds the dimension of time, allowing you to see your baby’s movements in the womb in real time. It will appear on our big screen television similar to a movie.
Extensive studies conducted over 40 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 . These routine scans would be considered highly irresponsible if there were even a small risk to mother or baby. In 3D/4D scanning, exactly the same type and intensity of ultrasound is used as with conventional 2D scanning. 3D and 4D Ultrasound both utilize sound waves to look inside the body. The technology is similar to radar. A probe placed on the body emits sound waves into the body, listens for the return echo and generates an image. 4D ultrasound will be similar to a conventional scan in terms of sound exposure.

In most cases you will. Sometimes your baby’s position might be to naturally lie face down, making it difficult to see the baby’s face. In this case, a complimentary rescan will be scheduled . Every baby scans differently, depending on the gestational age, position, amount of fluid, placental location and mother’s body habitus. However, we promise to make every effort to obtain the best images.
This can be the most fun appointment of your pregnancy and we welcome your loved ones to be a part of this moment. Your family and friends can come and relax on our chairs and watch your baby on our wall mounted flat screen LCD TV. It can be a wonderful time of bonding for everyone involved. We do ask you to remember that this is time for you and your family and we advise you to use caution in inviting anyone with whom you are not comfortable.

Yes. We can usually see the gender of the baby at 16 weeks. Of course, this depends on the position of the baby. If we cannot see the baby during your gender reveal, we will bring you back at NO CHARGE and try again.
No, this is an elective way to see the baby before birth. The session is not covered by insurance and it does not take the place of the diagnostic exam ordered by the OB/GYN/health care provider.
