Know Before You Go: 5 Things You Should Consider Before Choosing Your 3D/4D Ultrasound Provider

Not all 3D/4D Ultrasound Centers are created equal. Pay attention to these factors before choosing what ultrasound center you go to:

1. Quality Assurance. If you’ve never had a 3D/4D ultrasound, you might think that every ultrasound produces “brochure quality” images. There are many factors that determine the clarity of the baby. With over 14,000 scans under our belt, if we can’t get a good picture of your baby, no one can. If your baby isn’t having a particularly photogenic day, we offer a low cost “Take 2” for $45, which allows you to come back for another 30 minute session within two weeks for a second look.

2.The Environment. Having a 3D/4D ultrasound is a wonderful experience that many want to share with friends and family. 3DBabyVu offers a private room that comfortably seats 6-10 guests. Our rooms are quiet and tranquil – mothers frequently comment on how relaxing the atmosphere is in our scanning theater. We also offer a live microphone in the room to capture the excitement!

3.Unparalled Industry Experience. Experience is one of the most important factors in ensuring that you get great pictures of your baby. Choosing a center that has recently opened will greatly reduce your chances of getting clear images of your baby and will diminish your overall experience. 3DBabyVu has been open since January 2002, performing over 13,000 3D and 4D ultrasounds. Our sonographers are the most experienced in the industry and are registered diagnostic medical sonographers (RDMS), earning us references from doctors around Northern California.

4. In the 3D Ultrasound industry, you get what you pay for. Many of our moms have told us that their 3D/4D ultrasound was the most special experience of their pregnancy! Choosing your ultrasound provider based on price alone will almost guarantee that your experience will not be what you dreamed it would be. The way you are treated, the warmth and professionalism of the staff, the environment of the location and the quality of your ultrasound scan are all extremely important factors that far outweigh an extremely discounted ultrasound package.

When you choose 3DBabyVu, you can feel confident that are prices are competitive and that we will do everything that we can to make sure your 3D/4D ultrasound is the most memorable experience of your pregnancy. Our clientele speaks to our success – a majority of our moms have been recommended by friends or are returning for their 2nd or 3rd babies!

If you are looking for the cheapest ultrasound package, we may not be the right choice for you. If you are looking for the best experience possible, we promise that you’ll find that at 3DBabyVu.

Catering to the Recessionista - New Way to Save With 3DBabyVu

3DBabyVu Pleasanton has a new way for you to save BIG on your pregnancy photos!

This new deal is valued at $150:

We wanted to help create a whole photo package for expecting mothers, encompassing both ultrasound and studio photos. Through our new local partnership, every 3DBabyVu Pleasanton customer now receives a complimentary maternity or newborn photography session at the award-winning ultra-spective photography in Livermore.

Ways to Save On 3D/4D Ultrasounds

Even in rough economic times, the last thing you want to do is skimp on your baby. Cheap 3D/4D ultrasounds may be more affordable, but the sacrifices you make in quality may leave you feeling short-changed or may even result in exposing your baby to medical risks if a registered and board-certified medical sonographer (RMDS) is not serving you.

There are a number of ways to save money while still seeing the best in the Bay Area! Here is a short list of ways to get great discounts at 3DBabyVu:

Through our Girlfriend Package, receive $50 off when you book an appointment with a friend.

Making Friends in the Maternity Community

This week, 3DBabyVu went to a mixer hosted by The Bump magazine at the Casa Madrona Hotel and Spa in downtown Sausalito. The Bump was recently purchased by The Knot (joining the family of The Knot, The Nest, and Lila Guide), but has been around for several years, providing informative and fun reads for parents - super relevant whether you are expecting your first or fourth (or nth...) baby.

What an amazing experience! There were about 20 women and 2 men (major props to GreatDad.com and 3DBabyVu's own Mark Hayward) in attendance, representing a variety of different resources for new and expecting parents - maternity and newborn photography, maternity stores, yoga and dance centers, a coffeeshop just for parents and their little ones (!)and spas (The beautiful Corte Madera Spa is home to Barefoot & Pregnant, one of the few places in the Bay that uses only certified prenatal massage therapists). All in all, a very innovative group of people, all of whom sincerely look to provide services and products that enrich the experiences of mothers, fathers, and their families. I'm trying to stay in touch with all of them to help build a community of locally-owned, quality places for you. so stay tuned for some exciting partnerships between 3DBabyVu and some of the amazing individuals and local businesses that we met in the very near future!
