Here are some tips to make your 3d Ultrasound in Charlotte NC successful
HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE! You want your amniotic sac to be super full so it’s easier to see baby!
Weeks 28-34 (depending on the ultrasound company) are the ideal time to get great 3D ultrasounds photos of your little one!
If baby is breech…. it may be hard to see very much of your little one. The position of baby does matter and experts also say the more active your little one is, the more enjoyable it will be to see your little one move around. If your baby has an active period of day, try and schedule your session around that time!
And remember… if you are in your 2nd or 3rd trimester, it is a great time to schedule those newborn photos if you haven’t already! Please feel free to reach out to me for a session! I provide outfits for clients and try to make it a luxurious, stress free session for you and your family.
