At An Early Peek Ultrasound we offer the best in technology and in service. Our sonographers are warm, friendly, and personal. We understand that no two pregnancies are alike, which is why we provide each individual with the type of personalized care that we would give our own family.

Using state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment, we are able to obtain the best-possible imaging of your baby. The GE Voluson 730 Pro® ultrasound system that we use has the capability to process images with a real-time display, without the typical jerkiness and lag time of earlier equipment. This provides you with a smoother video experience, both in session on our 72” digital display, and afterward, at home, on the DVD that we provide you with.

Our licensed registered diagnostic medical sonographer has many years of experience in obstetrical ultrasound. This ensures not only professional operating standards, but also optimal imaging of the baby in an efficient, timely manner, so that none of your session time is wasted.

At An Early Peek Ultrasound, we strive to make your visit an enjoyable and relaxing experience, with friendly staff in a warm and comfortable setting. To add to your ultrasound experience, we encourage you to bring family and friends along!

The fourth dimension is time, which means that your baby can be viewed in real time. You will see your baby moving, and with a little luck, you might catch a yawn, a hiccup, blinking, or even thumb sucking.

For gender determination, images are obtained after 16 weeks of pregnancy. They are performed in 2D mode, which is the best way to view the baby’s entire body, as it is small enough to fit on the screen. 

3D and 4D images are taken after 28 weeks of pregnancy, with ideal images obtained between 29 and 33 weeks of gestation. At this point in pregnancy, your baby’s features will best resemble those that will be present at birth. Although we recommend the mentioned timeframes, we have successfully performed 4D scans as early as 26 weeks and as late as 28 weeks, for those wishing to view their baby at different stages of pregnancy.

Image quality varies from scan to scan, depending on many factors, including fetal position, placenta location, amniotic fluid volume in front of the baby’s face, and maternal body habitus. For this reason, the quality of images cannot be guaranteed, but every attempt will be made to obtain ideal images of your baby’s face.

If your baby is facing the wrong way or is hiding their face and we are unsuccessful in getting your baby to turn, we will reschedule your appointment for another day at no additional charge.

We perform non-diagnostic ultrasounds only. We request your completed routine 18-20 week diagnostic scan, ensuring that you have received results prior to your session with us.

No. An Early Peek Ultrasound offers a completely non-diagnostic service which does not replace any element of your prenatal care. You must be under the care of a health care provider to use our service, and we urge you to consult your health care provider if you have any concerns about your pregnancy.
