Is it safe?
Ultrasound has been used in pregnancy since 1950. Extensive studies have found that ultrasound does not cause any harm to mother or baby. 2D, 3D, and 4D ultrasound emit sound waves—no radiation—into the body listening for return echoes that generates an image.
Do you provide medical ultrasounds?
My First Baby Pictures is an elective ultrasound scan purely for bonding, memorabilia, and entertainment purposes.
It is NOT a medical ultrasound service. You should not have a My First Baby Pictures ultrasound until you have had a medical ultrasound and are under the care of a qualified health care professional for your pregnancy.
Will you tell me what my due date is or tell me how much my baby weighs?
No. My First Baby Pictures is an optional service and does not replace any element of your prenatal care. We offer a non-diagnostic ultrasound. We will not provide any measurements that determine the fetal weight or due date. If you have any questions or concerns about your pregnancy we encourage you to consult your physician.
Is this ultrasound covered by medicare or medical insurance?
No, this is a personal & un-referred, non-diagnostic ultrasound scan.

We do not require you to fill your bladder before your appointment. It is however important that you stay hydrated in the days/week leading up to your appointment.

How many weeks do you have to be for a My First Baby Pictures ultrasound session?
What week you are determines how you can view your baby. Many soon-to-be parents choose to come in twice or more to see their baby at various stages.
We believe the best time to visit us is 14-36 weeks into your pregnancy after you have had your antenatal scan requested by the Doctor. We do see women up to full term, but with variable results. An ultrasound image depends upon the baby's position and size, so we cannot guarantee images quality due to those factors.

What Will Determine The Quality Of The Images?
Many factors are involved in obtaining clear images. We use state of the art equipment and are professionally trained exclusively in obtaining 2d, 3d and 4d ultrasound images. Some of the following factors may challenge our session, like fetal position, maternal tissue, placenta location, and fetal activity. However, we often find we are able to image even the most shy babies and we do our best under all circumstances.
