Frequently Asked Question

• Does the location of my placenta impact the quality of my images?

  Not necessarily. Many clients with anterior placenta ( in front ) often ask if there will be difficulty seeing their baby with a 3d/4d ultrasound. A large percentage of our clients have anterior placenta and we are able to scan from the side and around the placenta to see the baby. In some cases, the baby will face into the placenta, whether it is anterior, posterior ( along the back) or fundal ( along the top), in which case, we will work to try to get the baby to move away from the placenta. Some of the images will have parts of the placenta in them, after all, we are imaging the baby in the womb. We will do our best to get as much of the face in view as possible but a full face shot is not always available. Similarly, babies are often going to be putting their hands and feet in their face and may not free up a view of the entire face. Many moms write back to tell us that their babies make the same gestures and put hands and feet in the face after birth just as they did in the womb and it makes them treasure the ultrasound images even more.

• What is essential for the best images?

  Adequate fluid around the baby, fetal movement (not just those strong jabs with body parts), and fat on the baby body are the prerequisites to obtain the optimum scans.

• What is a diagnostic prenatal ultrasound?

  We provide 3D/4D non diagnostic ultrasound experience to expectant parents ,for a positive bonding experience between parents and their unborn baby. We also provide whole session videos and digital baby photos recorded on a USB. This ultrasound exam is not performed to assess any of baby abnormalities. A routine diagnostic examination should always be performed to assess the gestational age of the fetus, for the screening of genetic disorders and fetal anomalies as prescribed by your family doctor.

• What can I do to improve the images of my ultrasound?

  WATER - Is the best answer , how to improve your ultrasound images. You should be drinking plenty of water beginning at least 30 minutes, before your scheduled appointment. Water can improve the quality of an ultrasound.

• What if we are not able to get images?

  It is our number one priority at Meet Your Baby to obtain the absolute best images of your baby & make sure you are satisfied to the maximum. We use the top of the line ultrasound equipment to ensure this, however, some factors that determine the outcome of your ultrasound are out of our control such as: location of your placenta, the amount of amniotic fluid surrounding your baby, the clarity of the amniotic fluid, the baby's position, & the overall fetal environment. If we are unable to determine the gender of your child or obtain 3D/4D images at your scheduled appointment due to these factors mentioned above, you will be asked to reschedule & come back for a second appointment within the next 14 days .
