Frequently Asked Questions
-
At Mommy & Me 4D we offer unforgettable experiences with our elective 2D, 3D, and 4D prenatal ultrasounds! These sessions are designed to help you bond with your little one before birth, creating a heartwarming connection with detailed, lifelike images. Imagine seeing your baby’s first smiles or tiny movements in stunning clarity…it’s a magical moment for you, your family, and anyone sharing this special time with you. Keep in mind that it’s recommended you have already had a medical diagnostic ultrasound to check on your baby’s growth, confirm gestational age, and ensure everything is progressing smoothly.
-
Absolutely not! Our elective prenatal ultrasounds are not a substitute for the diagnostic ultrasounds conducted by your healthcare provider. Our service is purely elective and only confirms the presence of a heartbeat, without substituting for any medical diagnostic ultrasound.
-
Yes! All sessions require an appointment to ensure personalized attention, optimal timing, and a relaxed environment for each client. Scheduling in advance allows us to guarantee availability of both the technician and equipment, preventing any delays or interruptions. It also helps us manage our day efficiently, so we can provide a high-quality experience without long wait times or overcrowding. By having appointments, we can offer a more comfortable, safe, and organized experience, ensuring that each client gets the best possible service.

While we strive to provide beautiful images, results can vary. Factors such as gestational age, amniotic fluid levels, maternal obesity, and if your baby is facing your spine can affect the quality of the images. We’ll discuss any issues and available options if the scan proves challenging.

Are you kidding? YES, bring them along!!! The more, the merrier! We love making your experience even more special by having your loved ones there with you. Whether it’s your partner, parents, or a group of excited friends, everyone is welcome to join in the fun. After all, these moments are meant to be shared, and we know they’ll want to see the little one in action too! Our studio comfortably seats up to 8 people but trust us … we’ve packed in a lot more!!

The answer? It depends!
If you’re in your first trimester, a full bladder helps us get a clearer look. So yes, go ahead and chug that water before your session. BUT…if you’re coming in any time after that, skip the full-bladder stress! We do want you hydrated, but a full bladder at that point can actually get in the way and block baby’s sweet little face. -
Here’s the thing, babies are going to do what they want to do in there! They’re the ones in charge, and we’re just here to encourage them to show off their adorable faces. But don’t worry, no matter how much or how little we get to see during your session, we’ll always make sure you leave with a smile and some beautiful memories to treasure.
So, if your baby isn’t in the perfect position, it’s all part of the fun! We’ll do our best to help them cooperate, but ultimately, your little one is calling the shots.
A few things we can try to encourage your little one to wiggle:
A Little Snack or Drink: Sometimes a sweet treat or a refreshing drink can give your baby a little energy boost, encouraging them to shift around. If you’re craving a juice or a sugary snack (within reason, of course!), that can get baby moving!
Changing Positions: We’ll ask you to adjust your position a few times during the session. Laying on your side or gently shifting can give your baby just the nudge they need to turn in the right direction.
Walking Around: If your baby’s feeling particularly stubborn, a brief stroll down the hallway might encourage them to stretch and change positions.
