What Are 3D Ultrasounds?

Unlike typical 2D ultrasounds that display flat two-dimensional images, 3D ultrasounds allow you to view your baby by directed sound waves at different angles. 3D ultrasounds capture many 2D images and piece them together to form a 3D image. With 3D ultrasounds, memories can be made as early as 8 weeks into pregnancy!

Unlike a medical ultrasound, which is ordered by a doctor to track the baby’s development, elective 3D ultrasounds, are one-of-a-kind experiences you choose to undergo yourself. With these elective ultrasounds, you can receive high-quality 3D/4D imaging, early gender confirmation, and precious keepsakes and souvenirs. However, it’s important to remember that elective ultrasounds should never be used as a substitute for a medical scan.

Meet Your Sonographer

Hi, I’m Cindy. As a long-time healthcare provider and ultrasound professional with vast hospital experience, I understand that standard clinics can be a little intimidating.

I would like to change that. My work is my passion, and nothing is more fulfilling than offering expecting parents a chance to witness the beauty and miracle of life that is within a mother’s womb privately and comfortably.

As a mother of 3 beautiful children, I understand that every moment is precious, including the moments when your baby is still in the womb. We all wonder what our babies are up to during this unique time of development. Thanks to today’s technology, I am able to give my clients insight into the world of their unborn baby. I am so happy to provide this service to all the parents who can’t wait to see their little one!

Planning Your Visit

General Information

You can book your 3D ultrasound as early as 8 weeks. Each trimester will allow for completely different 3D/4D views. Earlier in your pregnancy, you may be able to see the baby’s entire body and all the movements in one frame. However, before 20 weeks the facial features aren’t yet well developed.

To see the face better, it’s best to schedule your 4D ultrasound around 25-28 weeks. Keep in mind that waiting past 30 weeks might reduce the clarity of the pictures because babies tend to cover more as they grow bigger.

What To Expect
At Your 3D Ultrasound

When your 3D ultrasound appointment is booked in Chicago with Baby Bound Ultrasound, you can expect a similar process to any of your other ultrasounds. You should wear loose clothing so the gel can be rubbed on your belly. Once the gel is applied, the technician will move a transducer across the area. Sound waves bounce off organs and tissue, producing a detailed image of your baby that highlights facial features, with golden and orange undertones.

Rest assured that when you work with us at Baby Bound Ultrasound, you will receive the most attentive care from experienced sonographers. Still have unanswered questions? check out our detailed FAQs!

Water, Water, and More Water

Please remember to drink your water everyday.

Drink plenty of water 4-5 days leading up to your appointment date (as long as you are not on a fluid restriction). Drink about 64 ounces of water a day.

Doing so helps amniotic fluid levels be optimal for better
2D/3D and HD ultrasound pictures. Please drink your water everyday before your appointment, not just the day of.

3D Ultrasound FAQs

Absolutely. An ultrasound done by a licensed, registered, experienced sonographer will not cause harm to the mother or baby. It uses the same sound waves as a regular 2D ultrasound.

 

Our ultrasound unit is FDA-approved and does not use radiation. We also staff our business with former healthcare providers and ultrasound professionals that have many years of experience. If you have any more questions about the various types of ultrasounds we offer, contact us!

Elective ultrasounds are non-diagnostic scans that are meant to be done as a fun and relaxing experience. They are not covered by insurance. Because they are booked by choice and not ordered by a physician, therefore insurance plans do not cover the costs.

 

Please note that elective ultrasounds should not be used as a substitute for a medical scan and you should attend your scheduled ultrasound appointments in addition to the ones at Baby Bound Ultrasound.

You absolutely can. We understand this is a very exciting time for you and those close to you. Each ultrasound session offers a very peaceful and private experience for you and anyone you choose to being along for the special moment. We want you to feel at home, so please bring your family or close friends. Kids and babies are welcome too!

When arriving at your 3D ultrasound, loose clothing with a separate top and bottom should be worn that will give easy access to your belly. Your shirt should be comfortable enough to lift up and your pants or skirt should be loose enough to be lowered slightly below your hips.
You can eat normally before your 3D ultrasound appointment. For these types of 3D ultrasounds, you do not need to fast or avoid any particular types of foods.

Gender Reveal

The external genitalia of your baby starts at around 12 weeks but for an accurate gender determination it’s recommended to wait till after the 15th week of pregnancy. We strive for customer satisfaction, so to avoid erroneous gender determination, we advise waiting until you are at least 16 weeks pregnant to come in for the gender reveal. The bigger the baby, the more accurate the determination.

Please finish drinking at least 16 ounces of water 30 minutes prior to your appointment time so your bladder will be full. Please do not use the restroom until you have asked the sonographer.

Arrival

Please show up 5-10 minutes prior to your appointment
with your entire party. If you are more than 15 minutes late we may kindly ask you to reschedule.

Feel free to eat/drink something sugary (as long as you are not under any diet restrictions) to try to wake your baby up. Examples are: pieces of fruit, a granola bar with chocolate chips, orange juice, or caffeine-free pop.

We provide some drink and snack options for our guests.

Payment

Full payment is required at the time of the session.
We accept all major credit cards and cash.
