The ultrasound consultation takes 10 to 45 minutes depending on the desired examination; a gender determination (2D ultrasound) takes 10 to 15 minutes. A 3D/4D session can take up to 45 minutes. The consultation takes place in a relaxed and quiet environment. While the ultrasound professional moves the transducer over the abdomen, the images of the fetus are seen on a screen. The ultrasound professional gives detailed information about the images. If the expectant parents so wish, the ultrasound professional can reveal the gender and/or provide the measurements of the baby.

The purpose of the ultrasound session is to obtain a clear view of the baby in order to get realistic prints for the parents. We also believe that the ultrasound session enhances the intimate bonding between parents and baby during pregnancy.

During the ultrasound session, a number of (color) prints will be made from the best images. These pictures are for you to take along. We can also send pictures and recorded videos through Wetransfer. During the session, the ultrasound professional is open to any question and will be most happy to provide you with as much information as possible.

Like regular ultrasounds, 2D-3D/4D ultrasounds use sound waves to create an image of your baby in the womb. Studies suggest that 2D-3D/4D ultrasounds are safe. In addition, the images can help doctors spot a problem with the baby and make it easier for them to explain it to you.

The best time for a 3D ultrasound is between 27 and 32 weeks of pregnancy. The baby has then formed enough fat tissue, giving the face more expression. Depending on the position of the placenta and the amount of amniotic fluid, the chance for nice 3D images is up to 33 weeks of pregnancy.

"Babyview" does 2D ( 2 dimensions) ultrasounds as of 8 weeks.

A 3D scan is not always successful. Although we work with very sophisticated equipment the success of the ultrasound depends on the position of the baby and the amount of amniotic fluid. The thickness of the skin and underlying fat tissue of the expectant mother also determine the success of a 3D scan. For corpulent ladies, the results might be less satisfactory.

Technically it is always possible to perform a 3D scan, but we would love to record a nice picture of the baby's face. Our equipment enables us to easily and quickly create new images, so there is a great chance to capture a good image.

Except for the anomaly scan (mid pregnancy scan) to check that your baby is developing normally, “BabyView” does not perform medical diagnostic examination. The purpose of the regular ultrasound sessions is to obtain a clear view of the baby in order to get realistic images and prints for the parents.

Should, during a regular ultrasound scan, the ultrasound specialist discover something that requires further medical examination, she will, in consultation with the parents, contact and inform their specialist.

BabyView will do gender determination from the 16th week of pregnancy. The gender will only be revealed on request of the parents.

You decide who you bring to the ultrasound consultation. An ultrasound session of your child remains a personal and intimate event. For a pleasant and undisturbed course of the event, we recommend limiting the number of extra persons to four. If young children come along, we advise you to prepare them well for the experience.

Payment to be made at the end of the consultation. We accept only cash payment.
