Frequently Asked Questions about Tittut, 3D ultrasound and 4D ultrasound
Who performs the ultrasounds?
Our staff is highly medically trained and have long experience whitin diagnostic ultrasound. (For more information we refer to "about us") We expect the best, and so should you. Let our trained and certified staff allow you to experience the miracle of life as it has never been before!
What are the requirements for receiving an ultrasound?
We offer medical diagnostic ultrasounds to all expectant mothers. See under 'book online now' from the menu at the top of the page for a full list of examinations we perform. .
How far along should I be before I have a 2D/3D/4D diagnostic ultrasound?
We recommend having your 2D/3D/4D ultrasound performed after the 25th week of your pregnancy, and anytime after the 28th week for our fuller figured mommies, this is a good time to assess the growth and well-being of your baby.
How safe is 3D/4D ultrasound?
Ultrasound has been a routine practice in prenatal care throughout the U.S. It has been studied for over 35 years, and has been shown to cause no harm to either the mother or the baby. Your 3D/4D ultrasound session utilizes the same type of ultrasound as a regular 2D scan performed in the doctor's office. The power or intensity DOES NOT change when moving from 2D to 3D/4D. It is actually new computer software in our systems, NOT a different type of ultrasound, that creates these remarkable images.
Will my 3D images always turn out the way I expect?
Usually, but sometimes if the baby is persistently looking away from us, or if hands and feet are in the way it may be difficult to see the baby's face. Also - if placenta is in the way, or for our fuller figured mommies, the images will tend to be a bit fuzzier. Each baby will scan differently, and we can make no promises that the images will always meet your expectations. We do promise, however to do everything we can to get the very best images possible. Issues that can make the images less than perfect are: the amount of fluid around the area of interest, fuller-figured mothers-to-be, age of the fetus, and fetal position.
Do you offer Gender Determination?
Yes. Along with our examination that we perform, if it is requested, we will we do our best to see the gender for you. We can do this from week 22 and forward. Again – This is determined by the position of your baby - we can't make guarantees.
What if I don’t want to see the gender of my baby?
NO PROBLEM. We can stay away from this area and if we need to assess a region that is near the gender more closely, we will ask you to look away.
Should I make an appointment in advance?
Yes, ultrasound appointments should be made as early as possible! A cancellation time of one week is required.After that a fee of 500 sek will be charged You can rebook your appointment up to 48 hours before your examination. We reserve the right to charge for the appointment if you do not arrive.
What preparation is needed for my ultrasound session?
Overall hydration CAN increase the amount of amniotic fluid around the baby which translates into better images both from a diagnostic perspective and from a viewing perspective. It is good for you and your baby to drink lots of water in the few days leading up to your ultrasound. Bring your paper from your 18 week scan for us to assess what has been performed and to check for anything to follow up.
Any special rules with twins?
Medically, both babies will be assessed and examined. Items that are provided will only be as per a single pregnancy. You will also want to come in for you appointment during the 23rd - 27th week of your pregnancy.
