Does this take the place of an ultrasound at my doctor's office?

Absolutely not! Women seeking an elective prenatal ultrasound with Pix and Wiggles, LLC must already be receiving treatment with a healthcare provider for prenatal care and have already undergone a diagnostic medical ultrasound ordered by their provider.

What is the difference between 2D, 3D and 4D ultrasounds?

A 2D ultrasound creates a black and white image, while a 3D ultrasound offers a three-dimensional profile of your baby, allowing you to see facial features. A 4D ultrasound presents 3D images in real time, similar to a movie.

HD LIVE enhances traditional 4D Ultrasound using advanced software, providing a more realistic image with improved skin tone.

When is the best timeframe for a 3D/4D ultrasound?

The best time is between 26-32 weeks, as the baby's facial features are easier to capture then. After 35 weeks, positioning can make it challenging to get clear images.

Are you able to determine the gender of my baby?

Yes, in most cases, but we can't guarantee it as factors like baby’s position and gestational age may affect visibility.

Can I bring other people to my appointment?

Yes, you are encouraged to bring family and friends! We can accommodate up to 6 people.

How can I get better images of my baby?

Drink at least 64 oz. of water daily for a week leading up to your appointment. Also, avoid eating at least 2 hours prior to prevent the baby from getting sleepy.

Do I need a full bladder?

Yes, during the first trimester; finish drinking 32 oz. of water an hour before. After 14 weeks, it’s not necessary.

Is 3D/4D ultrasound safe?

Yes, they are just as safe as 2D scans, with no form of radiation used.

Why can’t we listen to the baby’s heartbeat before 12 weeks?

Listening to a baby’s heartbeat requires stronger output power, so it’s safer to wait until the 2nd trimester.

Will I always get a beautiful image of my baby?

Usually, but certain factors can affect image quality; we will always strive to capture the best possible images.

How do I know if I’m really pregnant?

The only way to confirm a pregnancy is through a pregnancy test followed by an ultrasound if the test is positive. The ultrasound will determine the viability of your pregnancy and how far along you are.

Is anyone going to know about my appointment?

No, your privacy is highly respected at ELM, and we will not disclose any information about your appointment to anyone.

How much will my appointment cost?

Appointments at ELM are completely free and do not require insurance.

Can anyone come with me to my appointment?

Yes, you are encouraged to bring someone for support, such as a friend or family member. However, there may be times when we need to speak with you alone.

What if I don’t know what to do with my pregnancy?

It's okay to feel uncertain; you have the time to gather information and make an informed decision. ELM offers education on your options to help you navigate your situation.

If I’m under 18, do I have to tell my parents about my appointment?

No, you do not need parental consent for any of our free and confidential services.
