Babyflix FAQ

The best time to see your baby's face is between 27 and 34 weeks, your baby develops more fat and gets a more defined face. However, it's important to note that every pregnancy is unique, and the ideal time for a 3D/4D ultrasound may vary depending on the individual and the baby's development. Beyond 34 weeks, a baby may be too big. Imaging may or may not be successful and will largely be dependent on baby position and fluid. However, all babies are different and 4D imaging can be successful up to 36 weeks. Twins are best between 24-27 weeks and will not be performed later than the 27th week.

OHIP does not cover the cost of elective ultrasounds. However, some benefits do cover the scan, you will have to check with your insurance provider for details of your plan. Due to the fact that is an elective procedure and is not intended to be a replacement for a medical scan, this ultrasound is an upfront out of pocket expense to you.

Of course! We encourage you to bring your family and friends to share this special moment with you. Our ultrasound room can comfortably seat 5 people, but more are welcome if they would like to stand and watch. Children are also welcome at our studio.

3D is a still image while 4D adds the dimension of motion so it looks like a video. With our Real Time technology you can see exactly what your baby is doing at that very moment. HD LIVE is the most cutting-edge technology and gives technician ability to control lighting around the baby for spectacular imaging.

Most babies cooperate for us the first time, we promise to make every effort to obtain the best possible images of whatever parts of the baby that can be seen. If the baby is shy and the face or gender is completely hidden throughout the session, we will reschedule your baby ultrasound within 14 days at no additional charge.

Yes. Gender determination is 100% OPTIONAL. If you do not wish to find out the gender of your baby, please let us know!

Drink plenty of water even several weeks before your appointment to ensure your amniotic fluid is clear. Water can improve the quality of an ultrasound image. About a half-hour before your 3D/4D ultrasound scan, try to drink cold water or fruit juice so that your baby will be awake during your session.

Fetal position is the number one determination of the image quality. Some babies come ready for viewing and great images are obtained. Others simply turn their back or cuddle up to the placenta or the uterine wall or insist on putting their hands and feet in front of their face. There are also many things out of the technicians control like the maternal size, amount of amniotic fluid, placenta placement etc.

Love at first sight 4D Studio offers ultrasounds for entertainment and keepsake purposes only. We do not screen for fetal anomalies or pregnancy-related issues. Our services should not be taken to be an alternative to the complete diagnostic baby ultrasound that your health care provider would order for your pregnancy.

When it comes to safety there is no difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and traditional 2D Ultrasounds used by your doctor because both ultrasound methods use the same kind of sound waves. Extensive studies over 30 years have found that ultrasound has not caused any harm to mother and her baby. Reassurance is provided by researchers who perform multiple prenatal ultrasounds from the early stages of pregnancy with no negative effects on the growth or development of the fetus.

Here is an answer to one of the questions. Please review and let me know if it's accurate (based on my own research), if so, please include that as one of the answers.2D, 3D, and 4D ultrasounds are different imaging techniques used during pregnancy to visualize the developing baby. Each type of ultrasound provides varying levels of detail and information about the fetus. ‍2D Ultrasounds: This is the most common and standard type of ultrasound used in prenatal care. 2D ultrasound produces flat, black-and-white, two-dimensional images of the baby's internal structures, such as the organs, bones, and tissues. It is typically used to monitor the baby's growth, development, and position, as well as to detect any potential abnormalities or issues. ‍3D Ultrasounds: A 3D ultrasound is an advanced imaging technique that captures three-dimensional, still images of the baby. It takes multiple 2D ultrasound images and processes them to create a more detailed, lifelike representation of the baby's features, such as the face, limbs, and organs. 3D ultrasounds are often used for a more in-depth examination of the baby's anatomy, as well as for capturing keepsake images for the parents. ‍4D Ultrasounds: A 4D ultrasound, also known as a live 3D ultrasound, is an even more advanced imaging technique that captures real-time, moving images of the baby in three dimensions. This allows the parents and healthcare providers to observe the baby's movements, facial expressions, and behaviors in the womb. 4D ultrasounds offer a unique bonding experience for the parents and can also provide additional information about the baby's development and well-being.
