Frequently Asked Questions

Can you confirm my pregnancy?

Yes, you can confirm your pregnancy yourself during the ultrasound session by listening to the baby’s heartbeat and getting photos. Therefore we are not providing a medical report or formal letter. Keep in mind your gestational age to book, pregnancies are visible at 4-5 weeks with transvaginal ultrasounds and 6-7 with abdominal scans which are the ones that we provide.

How soon can I book?

As soon as 6 or 7 weeks. Please understand that with abdominal ultrasounds we can see the pregnancy around 6+ weeks. Sometimes within 5 weeks, we can see the sac but this is not always possible or guaranteed.

What is best to learn the baby’s gender?

Gestational age is a factor here. Less than 14 weeks only have the Gender DNA Blood Test available. The gender DNA blood test is over 99% results guaranteed and it is simple, it is available as soon as 6 weeks. Now women 14 or more weeks into pregnancy can choose between a blood test or ultrasound. For the gender ultrasound, the baby’s position & the umbilical in between the legs can make the session difficult, sometimes re-scans are needed. Every mommy is different so we do offer both choices.

Best time to schedule an Ultrasound?

The answer is any time because is always possible to get 3D/4D/ HD Live images. If you are looking for a gender determination/confirmation you could have your scan done at 14. For full body views 12-18 weeks into pregnancy. Therefore to see the baby's face the best time is between 27 and 34 weeks.  After 35 weeks it is still possible but more difficult.

What is a 3D/4D elective ultrasound?

Like the regular 2D ultrasound done by your doctors, 3D and 4D ultrasounds use sound waves to create an image of your baby in your womb. What’s different is that 3D ultrasounds create a three-dimensional image of your baby, while 4D ultrasounds create a live video effect. It provides a live feed of your baby’s stretches and yawns.

What is an HD LIVE Ultrasound?

HDLive ultrasound technology uses a unique and moveable light source that not only provides both 3D and 4D imaging, but lights up the baby, making it possible for soon-to-be parents to see the facial expressions of their unborn baby, and even watch it yawn. "HDlive shows the face and the skin tone of the skin," says Dr. Bernard Benoit, the head of the ultrasound department in Gynecology and Obstetrics at the Princess Grace Hospital in Monaco." We can change the position of the light and clearly see the lips, nose, and eyelid." (Published by Alexandra Sifferlin a writer and producer for TIME Healthland.)
