Once Upon A Baby FAQs
Every baby’s image is different, and there are several factors that determine the clarity of an ultrasound image. The amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby, gestational age, the position of the baby, and the mother’s physical condition are a few of the factors that affect the image. We cannot guarantee that your images will be similar to others you might have seen.
-
At 10-12 weeks you may see the heartbeat.
At 13-15 weeks heartbeat and crown-rump image are visible, showing baby’s early growth.
At 16+ weeks there are more details of baby’s growth. Gender reveal is often possible at this time.
The optimal time for detailed images and gender reveal is 18-20 weeks.
