General booking information:
Medical scans can only be performed with a referral from your provider. Report will be automatically faxed to your provider within 2 business days. Please note that as it is a medical scan, our main focus is to provide the best care for your baby, so we may use the maximum allocated time, HDLive may not be possible.
Elective scans are for your entertainment and ultrasound imagery only, we will not provide any medical measurements during this session.
Cancellation policy:
$20 cancellation applies for cancelled or rescheduled bookings less than 24 hours of your appointment. It will be added on top of your next appointment.
Coronavirus update:
Under the Victorian government (as of 28th Feb, 2021), you may travel to visit us for your ultrasound scans. We allow up to 4 supporting guests, so partners are allowed. We ask that both yourself and partner to wear a mask before entering the premise. For further information, please visit www.preciousglimpse.com.au/corona-virus.
Ultrasound preparation:
To come prepared for the scan, we suggest drinking plenty of water before the appointment. If possible, drinking 6-8 cups of water a day at least 1 - 2 weeks before your appointment. Keeping yourself well hydrated is good for you and your baby it can also improve the amniotic fluid level around your baby. This means that if there is more fluid (space) around your baby the clearer the images will be. No fasting is required, in fact, eating plenty of food such as fruit or sweet can make your baby a little more active and this can help baby move into more favourable position.
Your baby is unique:
Every women and their baby is unique, some bubs love their hands, feet or snuggling into the wall. Others are shy and some love to pose.
Always prepare your mindset for realistic expectations. We can only capture what your baby wants to show us on the day. Try not to compare your baby with other parent’s images but to cherish the uniqueness about your baby
Please keep in mind and prepare for any setbacks as we cannot guarantee perfect images every time. There are many factors that can limit the views of the baby's face; such as amniotic fluid, placental position and mother's body type. However, we will always endeavor to get the best images possible.
