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. We are an appointment-only facility so please call, text, or email us to book your elective ultrasound in Chicago.

Please remember to drink your water everyday. Staying hydrated throughout your pregnancy is key.
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.

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.

Our client testimonials.
Take a look at what our clients have to say about their experience at Baby Bound Ultrasound!
This experience felt very personalized - even for me who goes to my regular doctor appts (sometimes those appts are so fast). We had such a great time with Cindy and are planning to come back later in the pregnancy to see our babe in 4D! Above everything else, the location is adorable in downtown Downers Grove with super easy parking (free lot right next to office), along with lots of cute restaurants & stores. Highly recommend.
I also had the opportunity to hear my baby’s heart beat for the first time! 💙 Thank you Cindy for being so awesome and welcoming! I will definitely be coming back!!!
She took the time to show and explain so many parts of my growing little one. Cindy really went above and beyond to deliver a beautiful, calming, and joyful experience, and I’m so thankful for her and her business.
Cindy definitely created a warm and welcoming environment for us as first time parents. Without hesitation, I would recommend all expecting parents to book a session at Baby Bound Ultrasound!!
She is extremely kind (she fit us in last minute), welcoming, and thorough with what you see on the screen. I’ll be recommending Baby Bound to all of my pregnant friends. Thank you for a great experience!
Having the option to get a private ultrasound done was great; having an ultrasound tech so knowledgeable, patient and friendly was a huge bonus! I plan to wait until 20 weeks for my next ultrasound but after seeing my little one on the bug screen yesterday, I'm not sure I can put it off that long. I highly recommend checking out Baby Bound Ultrasound to any mommy-to-be's out there; peace of mind at an affordable price!
