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 if my baby is in breech position?

  Breech position is when the baby's head is located at the top of your uterus & feet are down. If you do know that your baby is in breech position prior to your 3D/4D ultrasound, we do advise you to reschedule your appointment a few weeks later to allow more time for the baby to turn. Good pictures can be obtained with breech babies, but they are not guaranteed & are much more likely if the baby head is down. However some babies remain breech until very late in the pregnancy or never turn, if this is the case you can still do a 3D/4D ultrasound and we should be able to get good images if you have plenty of amniotic fluid.

• Does this replaces an Ultrasound at my doctor's office ?

  ABSOLUTELY NOT- Women seeking a prenatal Ultrasound with Meet Your Baby, may already be receiving treatment with a health care provider for prenatal care and have already undergone a medical, diagnostic Ultrasound , ordered by their health care provider to confirm their due date, and screen for fetal anomalies, and to look for any other pregnancy related issues. During the ultrasound session , we confirm the heart beat, the number of babies in the pregnancy, the position of the baby, and the placental location. Please note, that at no time this exam replaces a regular diagnostic Ultrasound.

• 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.
