Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. Tiny Tides is an elective keepsake ultrasound boutique and no referral is required. We do ask that every client be under the care of an OB or midwife, since our scans are not diagnostic and do not replace prenatal care.
When is the best time for a 3D/4D/HD Live scan?
Between 26 and 32 weeks. Baby has filled out enough to look like themselves but still has room to move and fluid around the face. Carrying multiples? Come a little earlier, around 24 to 28 weeks.
How should I prepare?
Drink plenty of water for several days before your visit. Fluid clarity is the single biggest factor in image quality. Eat a light snack 20 to 30 minutes before to encourage baby to move, and wear a comfortable two-piece outfit.
How many people can I bring?
Our viewing room comfortably seats family and friends, and kids are always welcome. Let us know if you're bringing a larger group so we can set up extra seating.
Is keepsake ultrasound safe?
Ultrasound has been used in pregnancy for decades with no confirmed harmful effects when used appropriately. We use the same equipment type and output levels as diagnostic ultrasound, keep sessions short, and follow ALARA guidelines.
What if baby is hiding?
We'll try repositioning, a short walk, and a little juice. If we still can't get a good view, we'll invite you back within 7 days for a discounted Return Peek.
