Why are the pictures not clear or what if the baby has hands, feet, cord, placenta, etc. in his/her face?
Every babys image is different and there are several factors that determine the clarity of an ultrasound image. The amount of fluid surrounding the baby, its gestational age, the position of the baby, and the physical condition of the mother are a few of the factors that affect the image. We cannot guarantee that your scanned images will be similar to others you might have seen in our studio or elsewhere. Ultrasound works best when the sound waves have fluid/water to travel through. A well hydrated system of the mother will help to optimize the image. This is probably the most important factor. Increased body weight of the mother can often affect the quality because sound does not travel as easily through tissue as it does fluid. Our goal and passion is to give you a pampered, peaceful experience to be relived for years to come. We make every effort to work with the mother trying various angles to possibly better visualize the baby. There are times when the baby will not take the hands
