When should I visit Prenatal Premiere for an Ultrasound?
Sessions can start as early as 20 weeks gestation and continue to term. The best time to get quality facial pictures is between 24 and 36 weeks. Earlier ultrasounds allow you to see a more complete image of the baby. Later ultrasounds reveal improved facial features since the developing fat layer enhances these images. Many parents-to-be chose to come in twice or more to see their baby at various stages of development.

Will I always get a perfect picture of my baby?
Many factors affect the quality of the images (fetal position, amount of amniotic fluid, amount of maternal tissue). We promise to make every effort to obtain the best possible images of your baby. If the baby remains uncooperative through your session it may be necessary to repeat the scan at a later time when the position has changed. We want you to be happy with the quality of your product and encourage you to share any concerns with us prior to leaving your session.

Can you determine the gender of my baby?
Yes, if that is your desire! We will attempt to obtain the best images to assure accuracy. If we are unable to confirm gender during your visit, we will reschedule an appointment at no extra charge for a “quick sneak peek” when the baby is in a more opportune position. If you wish to keep gender a secret please let us know and we will respect your wishes.
