About the size of a banana.

- 25.6 cm (10.1 in), head-to-heel

On the screen: Kicking, punching, turning and thumb-sucking.
From here babies are measured head to heel.
Typical sizes for the week, from the NHS week-by-week guide and the Hadlock growth standard. Your baby is their own size. What a scan shows depends on the day, the position and the fluid; it never replaces your doctor’s or midwife’s scans.
Just found out? Come and see.
A Pregnancy Check is a quiet first look at your pregnancy on the big screen, from 5 weeks, earlier than most studios will see you. It’s one of the visits we’re booked for most. Just had a positive test? Here’s how to see it for yourself.
- Private. The room is yours, with whoever you bring.
- Early. From 5 weeks: the pregnancy sac, the flicker of a heartbeat when it’s there, and from about 10 weeks the first wriggles.
- Simple. No referral, no insurance, no call first. Book online: $100, with 8 prints to take home.
A keepsake visit, not a medical exam. Your doctor or midwife still comes first.

Keep it a secret.
Planning a reveal party? Tell us before you lie down. We keep the big screens off, find the answer, and seal it in an envelope for whoever’s doing the honors. The sealed envelope comes with any gender session, at no charge.
Rather know right away? Most families do. We’ll say it out loud, and you can hear the heartbeat while we’re there. Either way, if we can’t call it with confidence, we say so, and the re-check is free.

On the big screen.
A 4D session is the closest thing to meeting early. You watch your baby move in real time, with everyone you bring, from 16 weeks right up to your due date.
16 to 24 weeks
The whole baby fits in one frame: arms, legs, the occasional somersault.
28 to 34 weeks
Cheeks have filled out. The best stretch for close-ups of the face and hands.
35 weeks to your due date
Most studios stop at 34 or 36 weeks. We don’t: a bigger baby and less room, so we work around the position and take our time.
What you take home
100+ color images on a USB drive and 12 color prints, before you leave.
30,000+ scans
The person holding the probe matters.
Irina, our lead sonographer, has been doing ultrasound for nearly two decades, all of it in Southern California. More than 30,000 scans in, she knows how to find a shy baby’s good side.
I enjoy helping pregnant mothers and their families, friends, and other loved ones see their baby. I see what it does for bonding, and I see how important that is in today’s world.

Can I come in early, just to see?
Yes. A Pregnancy Check is a short 2D ultrasound from 5 weeks of pregnancy: $100, with 8 prints. Book it online like any other session. We can often see you the same day.
How early can you tell if it’s a boy or a girl?
We book gender scans from 13 weeks, and we’re surest from 15. If we can’t call it with confidence at your visit, you come back for a free re-check.
When is the best time for a 4D ultrasound?
Any time from 16 weeks right up to your due date. Come between 16 and 24 weeks to see the whole baby in one frame, between 28 and 34 for the chubbiest close-ups of the face and hands, and later than that for a bigger baby we work around.
How long does a session take?
As long as it takes to get a clear view. We don’t sell minutes and we don’t work to a clock: when a baby is being shy we take extra time, and when a session is particularly difficult we bring you back for another try.
Is this a medical ultrasound?
No. Our sessions are elective keepsakes. We don’t diagnose, and a visit here doesn’t replace any appointment with your doctor or midwife.
