What exactly is an elective prenatal ultrasound?

An elective prenatal ultrasound is a non-medical ultrasound that provides a unique and intimate experience for family members to bond with the unborn baby. It is recommended to have had a medical diagnostic ultrasound prior to this.

How does this differ from the ultrasound performed at my doctor’s office?

A diagnostic ultrasound performed at a doctor's office typically occurs between 18-20 weeks and focuses on measuring and checking for fetal abnormalities. An elective ultrasound, however, is longer and centered on bonding, with images taken of the more developed fetus.

Is it safe? Are there any risks to my baby?

Extensive studies confirm that ultrasounds, including 3D and 4D scanning, pose no harm to mothers or babies. The intensity used is the same as that of conventional 2D scans.

Will I always get great images of my baby?

While good images are usually achievable, it can depend on the baby's position. If the baby is facing downward or against the placenta, rescheduling the scan may yield better results since the baby may change positions.

How can I help to get the best pictures of my baby?

To improve picture quality, schedule your appointment when the baby is most active, stay hydrated days before the appointment, and consume something fruity on the appointment day to wake the baby.

Can I bring my family and or friends?

Yes, you can bring family and friends to share in the special moment during the elective 3D/4D ultrasound.

Will my medical insurance cover the 3D/4D ultrasound?

No, medical insurance does not cover the cost of elective 3D/4D ultrasounds; they are considered elective procedures and are not replacements for diagnostic ultrasounds. Payment is accepted via cash and major credit/debit cards.

When is the best time to come in for a 4D ultrasound?

The ideal time for a 4D ultrasound is between 27-34 weeks of pregnancy.
