Do I need a full bladder for my ultrasound?<\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/div><\/div>
If you're 16 weeks or less, yes, a full bladder is needed. After 16 weeks, it's not required, but staying well-hydrated helps get clearer images. Drink plenty of water for 3 to 5 days before your appointment for the best results.<\/div><\/div>

Do I need to drink extra water before my ultrasound?<\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Hydration is the key to getting quality pictures. It's is very important to be hydrated for your ultrasound. Start drinking extra water 3-5 days before your session. Drinking a bottle of water before your ultrasound will not be enough to increase and clear the amniotic fluid. Also, if you have to drive a long way to our studio, plan on arriving 30 minutes early, eat something sweet, and take a walk around the parking lot or office building to wake the baby up.<\/div><\/div>
What is the difference between 2D, 4D, HD, and 5D Imaging?<\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/div><\/div>
2D, 4D, HD, and HDLive are trademarked terminology used in the industry to distinguish the different types of pictures and videos that can be provided.\n\n2D ultrasounds are the traditional black & white ultrasounds. The pictures show the skeletal structure of the baby. You can also see the baby moving. This is the type of ultrasound that was probably used for your diagnostic ultrasound.\n\n4D imaging shows the tissue (skin) of the baby. These are the images that look like pictures of your baby rather than pictures of your baby's skeleton. You can see the roundness of the baby's face, the shape of the nose and the contours of the lips. The color is computer-generated to enhance the pictures and make them more appealing.\n\n4D\/5D\/HD imaging is a video where you see the baby moving with amazing clarity. We capture still photos from the video. 5D\/HD is software that is used to smooth out the picture and make it a sharper image.<\/div><\/div>
Do you offer diagnostic ultrasound?<\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

\"Limited Diagnostics\" refers to gender determination, the position of the baby, the position of the placenta (unless low lying) and heart rate. We are happy to offer this service for free in all of our sessions. Please note, this is not meant to replace your complete diagnostic ultrasound with your healthcare provider.<\/div><\/div>
Are ultrasounds safe?<\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Ultrasounds have been used since the 1950s. Many extensive studies over this time have shown that ultrasounds are not known to cause any harm to mother or baby. Discuss with your OB if you have any concerns. Many Texas doctors carry our business cards to give to their clients.<\/div><\/div>
When is the best time to schedule my ultrasound?<\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/div><\/div>
You can schedule an ultrasound at any time during your pregnancy. For the best 4D images, schedule between 28-32 weeks. After 32 weeks, the baby gets a bit crowded, but we can still capture great pictures. Click the button below to find the best week based on your due date and desired service.<\/div><\/div>
