  FAQ Answer Section
Q1 WHAT IS AN ELECTIVE PRENATAL ULTRASOUND?
A1 We offer elective 2D, 3D & 4D ultrasounds to provide a positive bonding experience with mother, father and family members with the unborn baby. This ultrasound is NOT diagnostic and does not assess for any fetal anomalies. Our ultrasounds provide you with optimal viewing time of your child in the womb.
 
Q2 DOES THIS TAKE THE PLACE OF AN ULTRASOUND ORDERED BY MY DOCTOR?
A2 NO! Women seeking an elective prenatal ultrasound with Simply Sono MUST be receiving prenatal care from a healthcare provider and have already undergone a medical, diagnostic ultrasound ordered by their provider. A routine diagnostic ultrasound is typically ordered around 20-24 weeks to confirm dating, screen for anomalies, and to assess for any pregnancy related issues. Our ultrasounds are able to confirm a heartbeat, the number of babies in the pregnancy, the position of the baby, and placenta location. Please download our ultrasound authorization form here and have it completed by your doctor's office.
 
Q3 IS IT SAFE? ARE THERE MANY RISKS TO ME, OR MY BABY?
A3 There have been many studies conducted over the last 30 years. There has been no evidence of ultrasound causing harm to mother or baby.
 
Q4 DO I NEED AN APPOINTMENT?
A4 Yes, appointments are necessary for all of our services.
 
Q5 HOW FAR ALONG SHOULD I BE IN ORDER TO GET THE BEST PICTURES?
A5 We recommend having one of our ultrasounds between 22 - 35 weeks gestational age.
 
Q6 WILL I ALWAYS GET A BEAUTIFUL IMAGE OF MY BABY?
A6 Usually, but not always. Fetal position can sometimes limit the view of your baby's face and/or gender. We know this experience is important to you and we promise to make every effort to get the best pictures possible.
 
Q7 CAN I BRING MY FAMILY & FRIENDS?
A7 Absolutely! We encourage you to invite your family and friends. Children are also welcome!
 
Q8 IS THIS COVERED BY MY INSURANCE?
A8 No. This is an elective service and will not provide any diagnostic information. We accept cash, Visa or Mastercard, and debit cards.
 
Q9 WHAT KIND OF ULTRASOUND EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE TO PERFORM THE 4D ULTRASOUNDS?
A9 We use state of the art GE Volusion 730 for all of our 3D/4D ultrasounds. This is the best machine capable of these types of ultrasounds. Additional information on the machine and a sample of how it works can be found on GE's website:
