Question 1

How early can I book an appointment at Precious Peek Ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

we recommend waiting until at least 6 weeks when baby and heartbeat are typically visible:
 • Development changes rapidly in the first trimester, and factors like late ovulation or irregular cycles can affect what’s seen on ultrasound. If you’re unsure about your exact dates, it’s often best to wait a few extra days for the most reassuring experience 
 • This service is elective and non-diagnostic and does not replace prenatal care. 
 • you must be under the care of an OBGYN or midwife and have an upcoming appointment.

Question 2

Is 3D/4D/5D ultrasound safe for me and my baby?

Accepted Answer

3D and 4D/HD 5D ultrasound use the same frequency as your doctor uses in the normal 2D ultrasound. Ultrasounds have been used for over 40 years and according to the FDA, there have been no proven side effects from its proper use.

Question 3

Will I always get cute, clear pictures of my baby?

Accepted Answer

Usually, but not always. Sometimes if the baby is persistently looking face down, i.e. towards your spine it may be difficult to see the baby's face. If this happens, a 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 type/anatomy. We promise to make every effort to obtain the best possible images of whatever parts of the baby that can be seen.

Question 4

When is the best time for a 4D/5D ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Anytime in pregnancy is special!

The best time for a 4D/5D ultrasound is between 26-34 weeks. At this point in pregnancy, baby has a fuller face with chubby cheeks and are well-positioned to get the pictures you’re hoping for.
After 35 weeks, baby’s size may limit visibility, but every pregnancy is unique, and we’ll always do our best to capture beautiful moments.

Question 5

I want to bring my friends and family members to my appointment—am I allowed?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You are welcome to bring as many guests to your appointment as you’d like, including children. Our family-friendly facility was designed with a mother’s sensibility and our services are presented as a way to celebrate alongside your loved ones. Most doctors office’s (for good reason) will limit the number of guests patients can bring along to their appointments—that’s why Precious Peek is a great addition to your routine prenatal care if you come from a large family, have lots of friends wanting to see your bundle of joy, or if you’re just wanting to mix it up with something a little more intimate. We can comfortably seat 5 people, more can join if they don't mind standing!

Question 6

Is gender determination accurate?

Accepted Answer

At 16+ weeks we can determine the gender with high accuracy. If you are 16+ weeks and the gender cannot be seen, we invite you back for a return appointment and we will rescan you for free within the next 7 days. The need for a return visit is usually due to the baby's position.

Question 7

What if I don’t want to know my baby’s gender?

Accepted Answer

You can enjoy our full spectrum of services even if you’re keeping baby’s gender a surprise ‘til the end! Just let us know at the time of booking and remind us on the day of your session. We can get awesome photos of baby’s face while steering clear of spoilers. If you're coming in to find out the gender, but have a designated "Gender Keeper", we can write the gender down and place it in our "Top Secret" envelope, or text/call a family member.

Question 8

Will insurance cover my ultrasound at Precious Peek?

Question 10

How do I prepare for my session?

Accepted Answer

Water, water, water! Hydration is your best friend! 3D/4D/5D/HD imaging quality is directly related to how much amniotic fluid is surrounding the baby, which is influenced by mom’s water intake. Throughout your pregnancy, but especially in the days leading up to your appointment, we recommend following ACOG guidelines (https://www.acog.org/womens-health/experts-and-stories/ask-acog/how-much-water-should-i-drink-during-pregnancy#:~:text=During%20pregnancy%20you%20should%20drink,helps%20waste%20leave%20the%20body.)and drinking 8 to 12 cups of water daily.

Question 11

If I am overweight will I still be able to get good images?

Accepted Answer

If you are overweight you should not be afraid to have a 4D/5D elective ultrasound, however we strongly urge that you wait until after 30 weeks gestation to give the baby time to obtain more fat on their face. If you are overweight you will need to have a VERY high level of amniotic fluid to obtain clear images of the baby. If you drink the recommend amount of water in the weeks leading up to your appointment there is no reason you should not be able to obtain great images!

Question 12

Do I need a referral to book?

Accepted Answer

No, referrals are not required for elective imaging at Precious Peek.

Question 13

Differences between 2D/3D/4D/5D/HD

Accepted Answer

2D (Developed in the 1950s): Basic, black-and-white, flat images of your baby.
3D (Developed in the 1990s): Three-dimensional fetal evaluation by processing 2D images on a computer to enhance the assessment of fetal structures.
4D (Developed in the early 2000s): Adds real-time motion to 3D images for dynamic, moving visuals of your baby.
5D/HD (Developed in the 2010s): High-definition, lifelike 3D and 4D images with enhanced lighting and shadowing effects, offering unprecedented detail. 5D/HD are essentially the same technology, just branded under different machine manufacturers.

Question 14

How do you perform your ultrasounds?

Accepted Answer

All of our ultrasounds are done transabdominally, which means on top of the belly!
