Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to do a 3D Ultrasound ?
We can determine gender as early as 15 weeks. 3D images can start as early as 27 weeks although the best images are usually captured between 27 – 32 weeks . We offer multiple session packages so you can see the growth of your baby over the span of your pregnancy.
Is there anything I can do to improve my sonogram Picture?
Yes, make sure you drink plenty of water every single day throughout your pregnancy. Please bring cold water or snacks just in case baby is sleeping and needs sugar to be woken up.
Does this take the place of an ultrasound from my doctor?
ABSOLUTELY NOT! Women seeking an elective prenatal ultrasound with Lé Bump 3D Ultrasound studio must already be receiving treatment with a healthcare provider for prenatal care and have already undergone a medical, diagnostic ultrasound ordered by their provider to confirm their due date, screen for fetal anomalies, and/or to look for any other pregnancy related issues. Our employees are not responsible to provide any diagnostic scans to confirm heartbeat, the number of babies in the pregnancy, the position of the baby or the placental location..
Does your facility use certified ultrasound technicians?
All Ultrasound Technicians that are with Lé Bump are Certified , registered with over two decades of experience in Maternal fetal medicine.
This facility is owned and operated by the owner who is an ARDMS Ultrasound Technician.
How long will my appointment take?
Depending on the package you choose, the Ultrasound session we reserve 30 minutes with ever session.
Are 3D Images always good?
Although sometimes the positioning of your baby can make it more difficult to get that perfect picture, our experience in ultrasound will help increase the chances for the best imaging possible. All of our skilled sonographers have an abundance of experience in detailed obstetrical scanning. Please notify the technician during your session if you are not happy with the imaging so we can offer options.
Is ultrasounds safe ?
This is the most important question to ask. Ultrasound has been used safely in obstetrics since the 1950s. There have been no confirmed adverse biological effects to mothers or their babies caused by exposure from ultrasound sound waves. However, it is critical that an experienced certified sonographer does your ultrasound and that you feel comfortable with the knowledge and expertise of the facility that’s providing the service. Many women have multiple ultrasounds during their pregnancy with no negative effect on the baby. Many women experience High Risk pregnancies and it is not at all unusual for them to have weekly ultrasounds in their pregnancies. We also had 3d ultrasounds with our own children 14 years ago and regularly perform 3d ultrasounds for many family and friends.
What is the difference between 3D & 4D compared to 2D?
The 2D (2 dimensional) image is the flat black and white picture that looks like an outline or skeletal image of your baby that you get at your diagnostic ultrasound. The 3D (3 dimensional) image will look more realistic, like a detail photograph of your baby. The 4D (4 dimensional) uses the 3D technology to view your baby in “live motion” which is real time video.
