**YOU MUST HAVE HAD YOU FIRST MEDICAL ULTRASOUND & ESTABLISHED CARE WITH AN OB PRIOR TO ALL APPOINTMENTS.**

Most of the time we are able to capture beautiful, amazing photos, but not always. Every baby photographs/scans differently and end results can vary.

Sometimes factors that we cannot control can affect the clarity of the images and will prevent the sonographer from obtaining perfect pictures.

Factors such as: Amniotic Fluid, Fetal Position, Excessive Body can affect the image quality

1. Amniotic Fluid levels, specifically the amount of Amniotic fluid around the effects outcome of your session. Murky Amniotic Fluid also poses visibility issues as with any murky fluid. Review our Tips Section for tips on how to try to avoid this situation.
2. The Position of the Baby also effects outcome of your session, specifically the baby’s face. If your baby is looking downward, has his face all cozied up to the placenta for a nap, or if the baby’s head is tucked right up under mom’s pelvic bone, it can be more difficult to see and image his or her face.
3. Hands or Feet in front of your baby's face can obstruct the view of your baby's face but often still produce a cute picture of your baby sucking his/her toes or thumb.
4. The Umbilical Cord can also be directly in front of your baby's face creating an obstacle for a smooth image.
5. Excessive Fat, Tissue or Skin also effects outcome of your session. If maternal obesity is involved the penetration level of the sound beam can be greatly hindered.
6. Anterior Placentas, when the placenta is located anteriorly within the uterus, the penetration level of the sound beam can be greatly hindered.

We promise to make every effort obtain the most magnificent photos possible of your baby and capture best possible images of whatever parts of the body that can be seen.
