We offer elective 2D, 3D, 4D and 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 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 prenatal care from a healthcare provider and must already have had a medical, diagnostic ultrasound ordered by their provider to confirm their due date, screen for fetal anomalies, and look for any other pregnancy related issues. The elective session includes a limited scan to confirm the heartbeat, the number of babies, the position of the baby and the placental location. 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 scanning, exactly the same type and intensity of ultrasound is used as with conventional 2D scanning. 3D and 4D ultrasound both use sound waves to look inside the body: a probe placed on the body emits sound waves, listens for the return echo and generates an image. 4D ultrasound is similar to a conventional scan in terms of exposure.
