In most circumstances, your ultrasound is a wonderful family event. Please keep in mind that this is also a medical test which must be as accurate as possible and which requires concentration. A specially trained person known as a registered diagnostic medical sonographer (RDMS) will perform the examination which will be reviewed by a physician trained in fetal imaging.
What to Expect from your Visit
- Depending on your needs, you will meet with our sonographer.
- Appointments usually take 40 minutes or less per baby, depending upon the fetal position(s).
- A detailed report will be sent to your prenatal care provider within 48 hours.
To help ensure a successful exam:
- Wear a two-piece outfit
- Empty your bladder 60 minutes before the exam.
- After emptying your bladder, consume two 8oz. glasses of fluid (water, soda, milk, etc.)
