Best time for Images?

Babies are a wonder to behold at any stage of pregnancy. However, if you are looking for images of your baby that are going to be closer to what you would expect a newborn to look like then we suggest you have your images done between 27 weeks and 30 weeks. The goal is to find a balance between baby having enough "fat" to give you those images with the angelic little face but also allowing for baby to move from a position that may not work well for face images. With sessions done before 27 weeks you can still expect to get adorable images of your baby. Ultrasound Images from 20 weeks to 28 weeks will allow you to see more of baby's body and your chances of seeing baby's face are greater because there is usually still quite a bit of room to move about. Sessions after 32 weeks can often result in gorgeous face images but now baby has less space to move. We are happy to attempt sessions at Love View from 10 weeks all the way to 40 weeks. Feel free to look at our images on the About Us page or check us out on Facebook to see examples of babies we have imaged at different stages of pregnancy.

"We absolutely loved our experience at Love View. At first our baby would not co-operate with pictures but Samantha was sweet and understanding. She was able to get our baby to roll over and let us see her entire face. I will definitely be back for another Ultrasound."

"I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get a 3D-4D ultrasound! They were very nice and the viewing screen in the room was huge. I had six family members with me and they made sure we were all comfortable and had great viewing of our little boy."

Q.
Does an ultrasound at Love View take the place of an ultrasound at a doctor’s office?
A.
No, absolutely not. A 3D/4D Ultrasound at Love View will not take the place of a diagnostic study done by your doctor’s office.  Our ultrasounds are for bonding and viewing your precious baby. To have an ultrasound with us you must be receiving care from a licensed medical professional and have already had a diagnostic ultrasound.
Q.
When is the best time to have my 3D/4D ultrasound?
A.
We are happy to image your little one at any time after 10 weeks. The best time for a 3D/4D Ultrasound is 24-34 weeks. However, it is possible to get adorable images of baby before and after the recommended time frame. Earlier imaging can provide you a glimpse of your baby’s amazing development. Later imaging done once baby has started to gain weight will provide more detailed facial images and cute little hands and feet.
Q.
Will I get perfect images of my baby at every session? ​
A.
It is our mission at Love View to provide you with a session that is both memorable and filled with great images of baby. We will make every effort to get beautiful images. However, there are a few things that are beyond our control. Baby’s overall position, the amount of amniotic fluid, the position of baby’s arms and legs, and Mommy’s body tissue. These things can have an effect on the clarity and content of the images. Please rest assured we will do everything we can get the best images possible. If we are unable to see baby’s face at a 3D/4D session or if we are unable to determine gender during a Little Man or Little Miss session we will happily schedule you for a re-look.
Q.
Will my family and friends be able to come?
A.
We are able to comfortably accommodate up to 6 people other than Mommy. We also provide a complimentary live streaming service for loved ones who are unable to attend.
Q.
What can I do to give the best chance of good images?
A.
Stay Hydrated! You can make sure you are drinking plenty of water for several days before your session. It is also helpful if you have a light snack right before your session for example fruit or fruit juice
