FAQ’s
-
2D Ultrasound
Most of you will be familiar with a traditional 2D ultrasound which is a two-dimensional image of your baby. 2D imaging is most used for diagnostic purposes to assess the health and well-being of the baby. Often blurry and grey or somewhat black-and-white, the 2D scan produces a black and white image that shows your baby's skeletal make-up and internal organs. For most parents, a 2D ultrasound can be a little disappointing as they cannot ‘see’ what the baby looks like. 2D photographs of your baby are most used for pregnancy and gender reveal announcements and keepsakes from the first trimester.
3D Ultrasound
Unlike traditional 2D ultrasound imaging, a 3D baby scan provides an incredible amount of detail to create realistic 3-dimensional photographs of your baby. This advanced technology can give you the first glimpse of your baby’s facial features and expressions. Our 3D ultrasound software shows the baby’s most common facial features the nose, lips, and cheeks. With our 3D baby scan, you can see the roundness of your baby’s face, the shape of their nose, and their lips. 3D photographs of your baby are most used to capture baby’s face features and keepsakes from the second and third trimester.
4D Ultrasound
The 4D ultrasound allows you to see your baby’s movement in real-time. You may even get to watch them smile, yawn, or stretch! At Sonovis Imaging, our GE Logiq Fortis ultrasound machine uses high-definition software. Using this specialised ultrasound equipment, you can see the fast and real-time movements of your little one. There is also a virtual light source to give the images a ‘skin coloured’ appearance for a more realistic and defined view of your baby. A 4D scan captures baby’s movements and 3D images of baby, as a precious video keepsake throughout your pregnancy.

The optimal time to do a baby ultrasound depends on the reason for the scan and the type of images you would like to get. If you want to announce your pregnancy with our announcement packages, ideally this is best done around 10 - 12 weeks. If you want to know the gender of your baby for a reveal party, this is best done around 15 -16 weeks.
During the first trimester, a baby’s facial features are not yet clear on 3D ultrasound since they are still little. However, the 3D and 4D ultrasounds often include the whole body, enabling you to see your baby moving their arms or legs in real-time.
The reassurance and bonding scans are a popular choice during the first trimester. These are limited sessions with a primary focus to provide reassurance between diagnostic ultrasounds. We only offer 2D scans from 8 weeks on confirmation of a diagnostic scan being completed (this can be performed at any diagnostic imaging service).
If you want to see detailed 3D or 4D facial images of your baby, it is best to get them at around 27 to 32 weeks (ideally 29 weeks). Although 3D baby scans are best done between 27 to 32 weeks, we can get it done on either side of this time-frame. The clarity of images will depend on the baby’s position, size, placenta location, and amniotic fluid level.
If you are still not sure on what is the best package for you, contact us for more information and we can assist you to choose the right package.

You DO NOT need a referral from your doctor.
Our Hello Baby ultrasounds are an elective (non-diagnostic) service designed to provide an experience. This service does not replace any of the formal medical ultrasounds that your doctor may request throughout your pregnancy. The health and wellbeing of you and your baby is important to us. Therefore, it is an expectation that a diagnostic ultrasound has been performed prior to making an elective Hello Baby booking. We offer no form of medical advice or diagnosis and cannot provide measurements of the baby or establish a due date during an elective ultrasound.
-
We understand that situations arise in which you may need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. It is therefore requested that if you must cancel or need to reschedule your appointment you provide more than 24 hours’ notice. There is a $100 charge for all No Show/Late Cancellation appointments.

At Sonovis Imaging our focus is to provide a memorable bonding experience for you and your baby to share with your loved ones. Whilst we encourage you to include your loved ones in this experience, we are limited to accommodate 6 people during a session (mum-to-be + 6 others).
Whilst children are most welcome, any child under the age of 5 must either remain seated at all times, be restrained in a pram or baby capsule or held by a supervised adult. This is to ensure the safety and comfort of staff and visitors. It is our experience young children have limited attention spans in this type of environment. To accommodate this, we do permit the use of electronic devices (iPhone, iPad, etc.) during the session. We kindly ask the volume is set to an appropriate level to ensure it is not a distraction for others in the room. Alternatively, a child may leave the room under the supervision of an adult, you are more than welcome to rejoin the session at any time.
-
We understand that this is a special moment for everyone attending. We please ask to ensure all phones are turned on silent prior to the session. If you are required to take a phone call, please leave the room to allow others to enjoy the experience uninterrupted. If guests would like to record special moments during the session, we kindly ask you to obtain permission from the sonographer prior to filming.

In the event of an unexpected pregnancy finding, our protocol will be implemented to ensure you are supported to seek the necessary medical attention. In the event of an unexpected pregnancy finding for your elective Hello Baby 2D 3D 4D ultrasound there will be no charge for your session.

As these are precious keepsakes, please refer to our recommended storage options to protect and preserve those precious memories of your little one before they are born.
Please ensure to store your thermal prints in a dark place, such as a keepsake box, as light can cause the thermal prints to fade over time. All packages include our premium photo tubes to safely transport and store your thermal images. To ensure your thermal prints last, refrain from storing your prints on top of each other as this can cause the thermal prints to rub and fade, it is best to put paper underneath each print before placing them on top of each other. If you want to display them in an album, we recommend an acid free photo album. Please do not laminate your thermal prints, it will result in the image being melted.
