One of the most special things to do during pregnancy is to see your sweet baby on an ultrasound. You get a tiny little glimpse of what starts off as just a little bean and then grows to show you all their little limbs. You can even see the baby’s adorable little face. At PeekABoo 3D Ultrasound in Fredericksburg, you’ll find incredible technology that can provide you with 3D, 4D, 5D, and even 6D ultrasounds. If you’re interested in getting some of these super special ultrasound photos of your baby, then the drive to PeekABoo 3D Ultrasound may be worth the trip.
Seeing your baby for the first time on an ultrasound is one of those moments that reminds you just how real and remarkable this season is. It is also a beautiful reminder of why documenting your pregnancy matters, from those first ultrasound photos all the way through a maternity session that captures the full glow of this chapter.
Rated number one in the Mid-Atlantic since 2012, PeekABoo 3D Ultrasound gives you the experience of seeing your baby before he or she is born. You may get to see your baby smile, yawn, or maybe even suck their thumb. What you can be sure of is getting a memorable experience.
When you book an appointment with PeekABoo 3D Ultrasound, you have lots of different packages to choose from depending on how far along you are and what it is that you want to receive. For those mommas that just can’t wait, you can book the Early Peek package from 8-13 weeks. After 14 weeks up until 24 weeks you can get the Quick Peek Gender Package to find out what the gender of your baby is. For anyone over 35 weeks, you can choose the Late Peek package. These options are great for someone who wants the experience but doesn’t want to necessarily spend a lot of money.
There are also a few different options that go into a lot more detail and include more offerings. If you want more time, more prints or videos, or even some special add-on items, you’ll find that these packages are a great choice for you. For moms that want to go more than once, there are even packages that include multiple visits so be sure to look for those offerings.
If you plan on getting a 3D ultrasound done, the optimal time for the best pictures would be between 27-29 weeks. When the baby grows bigger, they run out of room to move and interact during your appointment. You’ll want to be sure to drink lots of water throughout your pregnancy to ensure that your baby will have plenty of amniotic fluid space to move around in. Then right before your appointment, PeekABoo 3D Ultrasound recommends drinking some cold apple or orange juice to get the baby moving.
There are certain factors that effect the quality of the images you will receive, which include loose skin, mom’s body composition, baby’s position, placenta position, or low amniotic fluid. But the staff at PeekABoo 3D Ultrasound will make the best effort to get beautiful images of your baby for you. Just be sure to do your part by drinking plenty of water throughout your entire pregnancy so that they can do their part.

That window between 27 and 34 weeks is also the sweet spot for maternity photos, which means if you are planning both a 3D ultrasound and a maternity session, you can time them beautifully around the same stretch of your pregnancy. Two completely different ways to document and celebrate the same extraordinary season.
