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.

• Can I see my baby if I wait greater than 34 weeks?

  Yes with appropriate fluid and movement the images and expressions are remarkable. Check my facebook account for examples.

• 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 will determine quality of the images?

  Fetal position is the number one determination of how your image quality will be. Some babies come ready for viewing and great images are obtained. Others simply turn their back or cuddle up to the placenta or the uterine wall or insist on putting their hands and feet in front of their face. We will try hard to make your baby move in order to see and image the face. Drinking juice or eating a little candy may help the baby move a little on that day of imaging.

• 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.
