Ultrasounds have been safely used in obstetrics for over 35 years. However, you may want to speak with your doctor before the scan.

Ultrasounds are scheduled by appointment only.

When is the best time to have an ultrasound?
The best time to obtain 3D images is 26-32 weeks of pregnancy. For "full figured" women, we recommend waiting until 30 weeks to have pictures taken.

What will determine the quality of the images?
1. Position of the baby: Some babies are "ready for action". Others turn away, not wanting to be seen. We will do all we can to encourage the baby into a position for clear images. A straight-on face view in 3D/4D is not very common. We encourage you to enjoy all aspects of your baby.

2. Maternal tissue: If mom has more tissue, the images will have less contrast. We recommend our full-figured moms wait until later in their pregnancy to obtain ultrasound images.

3. Fetal Activity: The best 3D/4D images come from a still or sleeping baby. The best videos come from the active baby.
