Frequently Asked Questions

Is there anything I should do to prepare for my scan?

1. Drink water

For early pregnancy scans between 12-16 weeks, we recommend having a full bladder—it really helps us see your baby more clearly and capture those precious first moments.

Once you’re 20 weeks and beyond, there’s no need to worry about a full bladder, but keeping yourself well-hydrated throughout the day will help us create the clearest, most beautiful images of your little one.

2. Wear comfortable clothing -

Wear something that makes you feel relaxed and allows easy access to your belly.

3. Arrive a little early -

Please allow a little extra time for parking and getting settled so you’re ready to enjoy your special moment.

When is the best time for a 3D/4D ultrasound?

The sweetest time to see your baby’s little features is usually between 26 and 32 weeks—this is when their face is more developed and there's still plenty of fluid for those beautifully clear images.

That said, we welcome you at any stage from 14 to 34 weeks, and each visit has its own special kind of magic.

Can I bring my family and friends?

Absolutely! We love when families share in these precious moments. You're more than welcome to bring your loved ones along—our space is cozy and welcoming, with room for up to 10 guests to join in the joy.

Do I need to book in my SnuggleScan?

Yes, appointments are essential to ensure we give you the best experience, so we warmly encourage booking early to secure your preferred time.

How soon can I book a SnuggleScan?

We encourage you to book early so you can secure the date and time that feels just right for you.

Do I need a referral? Are Scans covered by Medicare or Private Health Insurance?

No referral is needed—our scans are a special, extra experience meant to complement your regular medical checkups, giving you beautiful moments to enjoy and remember.

As our scans are non-diagnostic, they are not covered by Medicare or Private Health Insurance.

What can I expect to see during my scan?

You’ll get to see your baby’s adorable little face, sweet movements like tiny yawns and gentle stretches, and even precious details like their tiny fingers and wiggly toes - It’s a beautiful way to watch their personality begin to shine before they’ve even arrived.

What is a 2D/3D/4D Ultrasound?

2D Ultrasound
This is the traditional black-and-white image most people are familiar with. It shows a flat, two-dimensional image of your baby inside the womb—great for checking basic development, heartbeat, and position.

3D Ultrasound
This gives you a clearer, more lifelike image of your baby. Instead of a flat image, you’ll see the shape of their little face, hands, and body in three dimensions—perfect for those special keepsake moments.

4D Ultrasound
This is just like 3D, but with real-time movement—like a video! You’ll get to see your baby yawn, stretch, or even smile, right as it happens. It’s a magical way to bond and feel closer to your little one before they arrive.

Am I guaranteed to get images and/or the gender of my little one?

While we strive to capture the best possible images, each baby’s scan may vary based on factors such as position, amount of amniotic fluid, and development. If your baby is facing the placenta, the side of the uterus, or if their hands or feet are covering their face, it might affect image quality. In such cases, we will do everything we can to encourage baby to move and to get a nice picture.

To help encourage your baby to move, we may suggest a little walk or offer you a sweet treat. Please let your technician know of any dietary or movement restrictions so we can make the experience as comfortable as possible for you.

If we’ve tried all our little tricks and still can’t determine the gender or capture the beautiful images you deserve, don’t worry—we’ll gladly offer you one free rescan.

Is the ultrasound safe for my baby?

Yes. Ultrasound technology is non-invasive and safe when performed by qualified professionals. We always follow the recommended safety guidelines to ensure you and your little one are in the best hands.

What should I do if I have concerns about my baby's health?

If you have any questions or concerns about your baby’s health, we advise you to speak directly with your obstetrician, midwife, or healthcare provider. They have the training and resources to provide you with the appropriate medical care and diagnostic information regarding your baby's health.
