Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the difference between 2D, 3D, and 4D ultrasounds?
A1: Standard 2D ultrasounds are primarily used for medical evaluation during pregnancy. Chubby Cheeks offers advanced 3D and 4D ultrasounds, which provide detailed anatomical views and the ability to see your baby's face and movements. 3D shows still images in three dimensions, while 4D adds the element of motion, allowing you to see your baby moving in real-time.
Q2: Is the 3D/4D ultrasound safe for my baby?
A2: Yes, the 3D and 4D ultrasound technology used at Chubby Cheeks is considered safe and non-invasive. We utilize sound wave frequencies similar to standard 2D ultrasounds, which have been used safely in obstetrical practice for decades. Our technicians are trained to perform these scans according to established safety guidelines.
Q3: How early can I get a 3D/4D ultrasound at Chubby Cheeks?
A3: Generally, a 3D or 4D ultrasound can be performed starting around week 13-14 of pregnancy. This is typically when enough amniotic fluid is present for the equipment to generate clear images. However, image quality can vary based on factors like the mother's body type, the baby's position, and the amount of gestational weight gain.
Q4: Do I need a doctor's referral for a 3D/4D ultrasound?
A4: While a referral is not strictly required for our 3D/4D elective services, we recommend discussing your desire for an ultrasound with your obstetrician. Some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage, although 3D/4D ultrasounds are typically considered elective and not covered by most insurance plans.
Q5: What should I expect during my 3D/4D ultrasound appointment at Chubby Cheeks?
A5: Your appointment will typically last about 45 minutes. You will lie comfortably on an examination table, and a sonographer will apply a warm gel to your abdomen. The sonographer will then move a transducer over your skin to capture the images. You may be asked to change positions if the baby moves. The sonographer will monitor the baby's heart rate and movements throughout the scan. Once the session is complete, you will have the opportunity to view the images with our staff.
