Frequently Asked Questions

Your appointments are very important to us!! They are reserved especially for you. We understand schedules can be extremely hectic. If by chance you are unable to attend your 2D, 3D/4D/Real Live HD experience we require that you PLEASE email us a minimum of 24 hours in advance. More times than not we have a long waitlist so we ask that you allow someone else to enjoy your time-slot if you’re unable to do so.

We confirm and remind clients of their appointments via email.

We ask that Mom-to-be arrives 20 minutes prior to her scheduled appointment time. We ask that family and friends arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled appointment time. Early arrival enhances everyone’s experience. A late arrival will result in either a rescheduling or a shortened appointment time. Unfortunately, running into the next client’s scheduled appointment time cannot make up for a late arrival.

Please understand that when you forget, change your appointment without enough notice, cancel or no show we miss the opportunity to fill that appointment with another Mommy-to-be. Everyone’s time is extremely valuable. Please be courteous of our 24-hour cancellation policy.

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO RESCHEDULE YOUR  PEEK A BOO BABY APPOINTMENT IF YOU ARE NOT FEELING WELL!!

Any cancellation not made with a 24 hours notice will result in a $40.00 non-refundable charge. 

No Shows will require full payment of the reservation. NO EXCEPTIONS! If you no show to a scheduled appointment please know that:

1. Your credit card on file will be charged the FULL payment of the reservation. The no show charge is non-refundable.

We offer elective 2D, 3D, 4D & Real View HD prenatal ultrasounds to provide a positive bonding experience for the mother, father and family members with the unborn baby. We feel that realistic surface images provide a connection between the parents and baby that can be beneficial to the whole family.

We make no claims that 3D, 4D or Virtual HD as used in this examination is performed to better assess the baby for abnormalities. A routine ultrasound examination must have already been performed to assess the gestational age of the fetus and to evaluate for fetal anomalies as well as the basic components of fetal anatomy recommended for screening.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Women seeking an elective prenatal ultrasound MUST be receiving treatment with a healthcare provider for prenatal care and have already undergone a medical, diagnostic ultrasound ordered by their provider to confirm their due date, screen for fetal anomalies, and to look for any other pregnancy related issues.

The issues that we are evaluating in the elective prenatal ultrasound session include a limited diagnostic scan to confirm heartbeat, the number of babies in the pregnancy, the position of the baby, and the placental location. Please note, at no time is this exam to be used in place of a complete diagnostic ultrasound.

Extensive studies over 30 years have found that ultrasound has not been shown to cause any harm to mother or baby. Routine scanning of all pregnancies is now normal throughout the United States. In 3D, 4D and Virtual HD scanning exactly the same type and intensity of ultrasound is used as with conventional 2D scanning. 3D, 4D and Virtual HD Ultrasound utilize sound waves to look inside the body. The technology is similar to radar. A probe placed on the body emits sound waves into the body, listens for the return echo and generates an image. 3D, 4D and Virtual HD ultrasound will be similar to a conventional scan in terms of exposure.

We use the Chison Sonobook 9 to complete all ultrasound examinations. Photos will be sent to the email provided by you, they will be in jpeg form for easy uploading and sharing to friends/family!

Yes, appointments are necessary for all of our services.

We recommend a mildly full bladder for anyone less than 23 weeks. The bladder helps push the uterus back into a more favorable position to help assist us in seeing your baby! Think of the bladder as a window!

COMPLIMENTARY REPEAT SCAN GUARANTEE

Usually, but not always.  If the baby is persistently looking face down, (i.e. directly towards Mommy’s spine for the 3D, 4D & Virtual HD experience) it may be difficult to see the baby’s face. If this happens, a complimentary repeat scan will usually succeed because the baby has turned to a favorable position. We make no promises that the images will be similar to those you might have seen elsewhere or even from our Studio, or that we can always meet everyone’s expectations. Every baby scans differently, depending on its gestational age, position, amount of fluid, and mother’s body composition. We promise to make every effort to obtain the best possible images of whatever parts of the baby that can be seen.

Remember to: STAY WELL HYDRATED by drinking WATER. Ultrasound works best when the sound waves have fluid/water to travel through. 

Please Note: This ‘Complimentary Repeat Scan Guarantee’ excludes scenarios in which Mommy-To-Be has not properly hydrated prior to her appointment, thus resulting in unclear images.

We are an intimate setting and have room for about 3 additional friends or family members to join you. Feel free to video or facetime if you want as well! 

No problem! We believe that waiting to find out what you’re having is an amazing surprise to get at the end of a long 9 months! It’s no problem at all to avoid that area on the baby so that gender is kept a secret until delivery day.
