Booking & Appointments

  • How do I book an appointment?

    You can book online at any time through our Square booking page at sneak-peek-4d-ultrasounds.square.site. Simply choose your package, pick a date and time that works for you, and complete your booking in minutes.

  • How far in advance should I book?

    We recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time, especially on weekends. However, we often have same-week availability — check online for current openings.

  • Can I reschedule or cancel my appointment?

    Yes. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to reschedule. We ask for at least 24 hours notice so we can offer your time slot to another family.

  • Do you offer evening or weekend appointments?

    Yes! We offer flexible scheduling including evenings and Saturdays to accommodate working families. Check our online booking calendar for current availability.

  • Can I pay in cash?

    Yes! If you’d like to pay cash, please call us at (713) 492-3336 to book your appointment.

Preparing for Your Session

  • How should I prepare for my ultrasound?

    For 3D/4D sessions (27–34 weeks), we recommend drinking at least 8 bottles of water a day for 3-4 days leading up to your appointment — good hydration improves image quality significantly. For 1st trimester sessions (8–13 weeks), please arrive with a full bladder.

  • What should I wear?

    Wear comfortable, two-piece clothing so your belly is easily accessible. A loose top that can be lifted or a waistband that can be lowered works best.

  • Can I eat before my appointment?

    Yes — in fact, eating something sweet (like orange juice or a small snack) about 30 minutes before your 3D/4D session can help encourage baby to move and be more active during the scan.

  • What if my baby is not cooperating during the scan?

    Babies can be a little shy during their debut! We’ll try a few simple techniques to encourage movement, such as having you walk around, drink something cold, or gently adjusting your position.


    While we always do our best to capture beautiful images, your baby ultimately decides what they want to show us. If we’re unable to obtain satisfactory images, any follow-up or rescan options are determined at the sonographer’s discretion.

About the Ultrasound

  • Is the ultrasound safe for my baby?

    Elective ultrasounds use the same diagnostic ultrasound technology used in medical settings. When performed by a trained professional and kept to a reasonable duration, they are considered safe. Our sessions are performed by a registered ultrasound professional.

  • What is the difference between 2D, 3D, and 4D ultrasound?

    2D ultrasound produces the classic flat, black-and-white images used in medical scans. 3D ultrasound creates a three-dimensional still image of your baby's face and features. 4D is the same as 3D but in real-time motion — you can watch your baby yawn, smile, and move.

  • What is the best time to come in for a 3D/4D session?

    The prime window for 3D/4D imaging is 28–32 weeks. At this stage, baby has developed enough fat under the skin for clear facial features, but still has enough room to move. We offer 3D/4D sessions from 27–34 weeks.

  • Will I be able to determine the gender at my session?

    Gender determination is available from 16 weeks onward with our Gender Reveal package. Accuracy is very high at this stage, but we always recommend confirming with your OB.

  • Is this a medical ultrasound? Will you check for abnormalities?

    No. Sneak Peek 3D 4D Ultrasounds is an elective, keepsake ultrasound studio — not a medical facility. We do not diagnose, measure, or evaluate for medical conditions. Please continue all scheduled appointments with your OB or midwife.
