Recommendations for BEST IMAGES
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER as your doctor recommends!!! If you don’t normally drink water daily you should consider doing so beginning at least 5 days before your scheduled appointment or since the day you set your appointment. Hydration can significantly improve the clarity of ultrasound and setting your appointment when the baby is active allows the baby to give more poses.
Please note that the total images will depend on the baby’s cooperation during the session.

We use the state of the art of the line technology GE Voluson S8 to perform our Ultrasounds. The GE Voluson S8 has been seen in GE television commercials and many printed articles from around the world. This machine is the best 2D, 3D and 4D Ultrasound machine 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 S8 generates 3D images with amazing clarity and gives you the same clarity with 4D imagery of your baby in motion. Our ultrasound equipment allows you to see your baby in live motion video unlike any other on the market today.
At this point, insurance does not cover the cost 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 cash, Visa, MasterCard, and debit cards.
Requirements: Must be 13 weeks to have an Ultrasound performed at our Baby’s First Photos facility. In the majority of cases, we can provide an indication of the sex of the baby during the very first session.
We can’t however guarantee that the baby will cooperate during your session. Certain factors such as body tissue content, developmental stage, umbilical cord location and fetal position all affect the ability to determine sex. If we are unable to determine the gender of your baby at the time of your visit, we will invite you back to Baby’s First Photos to determine your baby’s gender for Free.
Absolutely!! In fact, we encourage our clients to invite family and friends to attend the elective 4D Ultrasound session. This is a joyous and wonderful experience, one that can be shared with your family and loved ones. We can comfortably accommodate your friends and family in our theater atmosphere.
Usually, but not always. Sometimes if the baby is persistently looking face down, towards your spine it may be difficult to see the baby’s face. If this happens, a repeat scan may be scheduled to see if the baby has turned to a favorable position at another day. A $25 fee will only be charged to repeat your entire session. Every baby scans differently, depending on its gestational age, position, amount of amniotic fluid, and mother’s condition. Nevertheless, we promise to make every effort to obtain the best possible images of whatever parts of the baby that can be seen.
If you plan on having only one 4D Ultrasound, we recommend having it performed between the 27th and 33rd week of the pregnancy. Some expectant mothers like to do it after that… we have done it for mom’s up to 40 weeks, but we do not recommend for you to wait that long if you can avoid it. However, good images of your baby may be obtained any time after 13 weeks of pregnancy due to the fact the baby has less weight, however you may see the baby tiny as it may weigh less than a pound. Many moments obtain more than one 4D Ultrasound and have images to enjoy and compare from their second and third trimester. Most mom’s wanting to see how their baby grows, the reason why they come several times during the pregnancy.
Depending on the packages you choose, the 4D Ultrasound session will last between 15 to 30 minutes. Printing the pictures may take up to an additional 15 to 30 minutes depending on the package you have selected.
Yes, appointments are necesary for all of our services. If you require a specific time opr day, it would be best to book ahead otherwise. You can call us the same day to see what we may have available.
Extensive studies over 30 years have found that Ultrasounds has not been shown to cause any harm to mother or baby. Routine scanning of all pregnancies is now normal throught the United States. 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. 4D Ultrasound will be similar to a conventional scan in terms of exposure.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Women seeking an elective prenatal Ultrasound with Baby’s First Photos must already be receiving treatment with a healthcare providerfor prenatal care and have their due date, its preferred that they have already undergone an ultrasound by their doctor to look for any abnormalities or other pregnancy related issues. Please note, at no time is this exam to be used in place of a complete diagnostic Ultrasound.
We offer elective 2D, 3D & 4D prenatal Ultrasounds to provide a possitive bonding experience for the mother, father and family members with the unborn baby. We feel that realistic surface images provide a connection between the parents and the baby that can be beneficial to the whole family. We make no claims that 3-D as used in this examination is performed to better assess the baby for abnormalities. A routine Ultrasound exaamination 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.
