Frequently asked questions about stork 4d Imaging

When should I visit Stork 4D Imaging Studio for an ultrasound

Sessions can start as early as 15 weeks gestation and continue to term. The best time to get quality facial pictures is between 24 and 36 weeks. Earlier ultrasounds allow you to see a more complete image of the baby. Later ultrasounds reveal improved facial features since the developing fat layer enhances theses images. Many parents-to-be chose to come in twice or more to see their baby at various stages of development.

Will I always get a perfect picture of my baby?

Many factors affect the quality of the images (fetal position, amount of amniotic fluid, amount of maternal tissue). We promise to make every effort to obtain the best possible images of your baby. If the baby remains uncooperative through your session it may be necessary to repeat the scan at a later time when the position has changed. We want you to be happy with the quality of your product and encourage you to share any concerns with us prior to leaving your session.

How many guest may I bring?

This is a great opportunity for family members to meet and bond with your baby. Our facility comfortably accommodates 4 guests in addition to the mom but you are welcome to bring more.

Can you determine the baby's gender?

Yes, if that is your desire! We will attempt to obtain the best images to assure accuracy. If we are unable to confirm gender during your visit, we will reschedule an appointment at no extra charge for a “quick peek” when the baby is in a more opportune position. If you wish to keep gender a secret please let us know and we will respect your wishes.

Do I need a note from my doctor?

At Stork 4D Imaging Studio, we pride ourselves on our commitment to promoting healthy pregnancies. We offer limited diagnostic services therefore a visit to Stork 4D Imaging Studio should never replace a physician visit. As a result, it is our policy that all women requesting an ultrasound provide documentation that they are receiving prenatal care. Our Prenatal Care Verification Form may be utilized for this purpose.

Before your ultrasound session, please have the following form completed by your obstetrician, family practitioner, or midwife. Please fax or bring the completed form with you to your session. The form is a prerequisite before services can be completed. We look forward to meeting both you and your baby!
