So you are thinking about having a 3D 4D Ultrasound done…let’s make sure you get the best experience possible!
First, schedule your appointment online at wondertimellc.com. Our Quick Peek-A-Boo and Sweet Baby Face Packages are best done between 28 and 32 weeks, with 34 weeks being the upper limit. 30 weeks is the best time, if it’s convenient for you. Think about inviting your family and friends. We can comfortably seat 7 additional guests. If there is someone who would like to attend, but just can’t be there…we can use FaceTime or Facebook video on our office computer. The camera points at the screen, and we can capture the images and your reaction all at once. You are welcome to bring your small children with you, but expect them to only want to be there for 5-10 minutes. I have seen many mommies and daddies distracted from their experience, and aggravated by young children who are not happy to spend 30-45 minutes in our room. Once again, this is your choice, and they are absolutely welcome to come to your session.
For 1-2 weeks before your visit, try your best to drink all of the water that is recommended. That’s 8-10 8 ounce glasses of water. Your urine should be pale yellow or nearly colorless. That is a good indicator that you are well-hydrated. Read more about the benefits of hydration during pregnancy here. Our ability to get good pictures of the baby is directly related to amount of amniotic fluid. The more fluid= the better the images will be.
Bring a snack with you to your visit, or eat a light meal before you arrive. Something cold to drink can be helpful, some people swear that chewing on ice cubes gets baby moving!
Expect to be at our office for at least an hour. Once you fill out paperwork, and everyone gets situated, we dim the lights and start your session. If baby is not in a good position at first, we will have you change positions, drink, cough, empty your bladder, stand up, and take a drink to get baby moving. We have great success in getting baby to cooperate! During the session, you will see everything in high definition on our wall mounted 55″ TV. We will save 3D images, and 4D video clips. We usually see baby moving and catch a yawn…and some happy and sometimes grumpy facial expressions. If you choose, we can record your baby’s heartbeat and put that heartbeat module inside a stuffed animal. We proudly offer My Baby’s Heartbeat Bear, designed and manufactured in Bear, Delaware. We also carry ultrasound picture frames, heartbeat/voice recordable frames in store. Stay tuned for new retail items coming soon!
After your session is complete, we gather up your printed images, send all images and video to a USB flash drive, and put everything in a gift bag. We aim to please, and our goal is to have you leave with images that market our business to all of your friends and family. Thank you for choosing Wonder Time!
