Unfortunately, there are no guarantees. Depending on the baby and several factors, the perfect image will be determined. Those factors are listed below. Our technician will always try to get the best images, but it’s out of our hands. The ultrasound tech will try many things, such as having mom cough, changing scan positions, or having mom empty her bladder if it’s too full, or just some simple stretches. We even have some candy for moms and babies to eat. The Technician will always explain and show you the baby’s positioning so that you can understand why the best images were not able to be obtained. Please understand that we try our very best to obtain the best pictures possible, but it will depend on the factors listed below.
- BABY POSITION
- AMNIOTIC FLUID LEVELS
- BABY SLEEPING
- UMBILICAL CORD POSITIONING
- PLACENTA LOCATION (ANTERIOR OR POSTERIOR)
- MOM IS TOO FAR ALONG
