Top Questions to Ask During Your Ultrasound Session

Partner Support - Baby Dimensions

Your ultrasound appointment is more than just a quick glimpse at your baby—it’s an opportunity to connect, learn, and feel more prepared for the journey ahead. Whether it’s your first ultrasound or a follow-up visit, asking the right questions can help you get the most out of the experience. At Baby Dimensions in Newnan, GA, we love helping families make the most of every moment.

Here are the top questions every expectant mom (and partner!) should ask during an ultrasound session.


💬 1. How is my baby developing?

One of the best things about ultrasounds is getting to track your baby’s growth and progress.

✅ Ask your technician:

  • Is my baby measuring on track for my due date?
  • Are the limbs and organs developing as expected?

At Baby Dimensions, we walk you through what you’re seeing in real-time so you’re never left wondering.


💗 2. Can you see the baby’s heartbeat?

There’s nothing quite like hearing your baby’s heartbeat for the first time! This is a key milestone during ultrasounds.

✅ Ask:

  • What’s the heart rate today?
  • Is that within a normal range?

Our state-of-the-art equipment provides a clear look and even the option to record the heartbeat into a plush keepsake animal you can take home.


🧠 3. What position is the baby in right now?

As your baby grows, their position changes often. Knowing their current position is both fascinating and helpful.

✅ Try asking:

  • Is baby facing forward or backward?
  • Is this a good position for photos or video today?

If baby’s being a little shy, we may recommend some juice or a gentle repositioning to get those perfect 3D or 4D shots!


👶 4. Can you see the baby’s face or features clearly?

Especially in 3D, 4D, or HDLive ultrasounds, parents love seeing their baby’s facial expressions, hands, feet, and even yawns or smiles!

✅ Ask:

  • Can we try to capture the face or profile?
  • Are the features developed enough to get a clear image?

We recommend booking between 26 and 32 weeks for the clearest views of your baby’s face.


🍼 5. Can you tell the baby’s gender today?

If you’re hoping for a gender reveal, this is your moment! Our team offers early gender scans starting at just 14 weeks.

✅ Ask:

  • Is the baby in a good position for gender determination?
  • Can you seal the results for a surprise later?

We’re happy to help make your gender reveal special with sealed envelopes, confetti poppers, and more!


📷 6. Will I receive photos or videos from this session?

It’s one thing to see your baby during the session—it’s another to take those moments home.

✅ Ask:

  • Do you include printed photos or digital files?
  • Can I record or bring guests?

At Baby Dimensions, we offer printed photos, video clips, and heartbeat recordings as keepsakes you’ll treasure forever.


🤰 7. What can I do to improve image quality for future visits?

Getting crystal-clear images is part science, part timing, and part preparation.

✅ Ask:

  • Should I hydrate more leading up to my next visit?
  • When’s the best time to come back for another scan?

We usually recommend drinking 4–6 bottles of water per day in the week leading up to your appointment for the clearest results.


🏥 Bonus: Can I bring my partner or family members?

Pregnancy is a family journey. If you want your partner, kids, or even grandparents to join you, just ask!

At Baby Dimensions, we welcome your loved ones to be part of this special experience with you.
