Baby Haven is proud to offer first come, first served appointments that often allow for same day or next day availability.

Elective ultrasounds can be scheduled as early as 4 weeks to confirm a pregnancy, but for the clearest and most accurate results, we recommend waiting until 6 weeks when baby and heartbeat are visible.

Diagnostic ultrasounds and lab testing for gender are available starting at 6 weeks into pregnancy.

Whether you’re eager to know early or prefer waiting for ultrasound confirmation, we offer accurate, discreet gender testing options to suit your journey. From SneakPeek blood testing as early as 6 weeks to expert first-trimester ultrasounds with reliable results starting at 13 weeks Baby Haven is a reliable resource for early gender results.

Early ultrasounds are performed using abdominal ultrasound to provide a safe and comfortable non-medical experience while still capturing clear, meaningful results as seen on our website.

Transvaginal ultrasounds are reserved strictly for diagnostic purposes before 8 weeks of pregnancy or when a provider or RDMS professional determines they are medically necessary. They are not performed for elective imaging.

Baby Haven is committed to transparency and compassionate care. Parents are promptly informed if no fetal heartbeat is detected after a thorough professional evaluation. For pregnancies over six weeks where a baby is visible, heart activity is expected; if it is not detected, mothers are gently advised to contact their healthcare provider.

Parents have the option to hear the fetal heartbeat, and Baby Haven fully supports all pregnancy decisions that foster confidence and connection.

We maintain a respectful, compassionate environment that values informed perspectives and the well-being of every family.

An anterior placenta isn’t an issue for clients at Baby Haven who follow our simple prep, just hydrate 3–5 days prior (if permitted)!

With proven techniques and thoughtful positioning, we’ve captured thousands of clear, full-face HD images and videos no matter where the placenta is. You stay hydrated, we will handle the rest!

At Baby Haven, this won’t affect your session! A retroverted uterus is very common and usually corrects itself by the middle of the first trimester.

We know how to adjust positioning and use proven techniques to capture clear images and videos. You’ll still get the beautiful keepsakes and memories you came for, so feel confident booking your appointment!

All elective and diagnostic ultrasounds at Baby Haven KC are performed by a licensed ARDMS Sonographer with advanced obstetric training and over a decade of hands-on medical experience.

RDMS credential means your experience is performed by a nationally certified diagnostic medical sonographer with advanced training in fetal development, anatomy, and ultrasound safety, ensuring professionalism, clarity, and peace of mind at every visit.

This is not a concern at Baby Haven. It is extremely rare that a baby cannot be seen clearly by our sonographer within the appointment time if recommendations and prep tips were followed. If you are at least 6 weeks along and there are no abnormalities, baby should be visible at every visit, and after years in business we have not needed to address it.

Our detailed, RDMS professional guided sessions provide high-quality visuals and keepsakes 99.9% of the time. With extended visits, refunds are not available if your baby is not seen or results do not meet expectations. Booking confirms your agreement to this policy.

Elective ultrasounds: Up to 6 adult guests

Diagnostic ultrasounds: Up to 2 adult guests

Lab Testing: Guests not recommended; see elective policy for ultrasounds

———————————————-

Baby Haven KC is an adults-only (18 and older) facility to maintain a professional and educational environment for expectant parents.

Experience since opening in 2023 has shown that guests under 18 can be a significant distraction and source of stress during extended appointments, which are intentionally designed to provide a calm, distraction-free experience.

Due to our owner-operated setting and longer session times, we are unable to accommodate those needs. To ensure everyone still feels included, we provide access to all digital content from the visit and allow brief recordings of the experience.

Yes. Ultrasounds are safe when performed by trained professionals, as they use sound waves, not radiation, to view internal structures.

At Baby Haven, scans are done carefully and thoughtfully with breaks and time for questions, repositioning, or other activities. Our goal is to provide accurate information about the pregnancy while keeping each visit comfortable, safe, enjoyable, and supportive.

Extended ultrasound appointments at Baby Haven KC are safe and thoughtfully guided by a licensed sonographer, ensuring the best opportunity to capture your baby awake during the visit. Scanning is not continuous, allowing time for breaks, questions, repositioning, and other moments like group photos and shopping throughout your time with us. Each appointment is unhurried, creating a calm, relaxed, and enjoyable experience for parents.

As the only center in the area offering extended elective ultrasound appointments, Baby Haven KC prioritizes fetal sleep patterns over sugar intake, with a schedule designed to support optimal imaging. Our mission is to create a laid back, supportive, and lasting memory while delivering the clearest images possible. Parents can trust the Baby Haven process, knowing each appointment is conducted with care, love, and expertise.

Please send provider referrals directly to our office via the preferred contact methods:

1. Fax 913-543-3014 (preferred)

2. Bring the physical order to the appt.

3. Email Hello@BabyHavenKC.com

Having a referral ready helps ensure diagnostic ultrasounds go smoothly. If unsure whether Baby Haven has received the order, please give us a call before the appointment.

No, Baby Haven KC requires a deposit to hold all appointments because we are unable to accommodate last-minute changes and ask for a shared commitment and seriousness for each appointment.

Deposits are not refunded if you cancel without enough notice, miss your appointment, or break our policies. To date, we have never needed to refund for an inadequate imaging, including HD ultrasounds, and without a high volume of repeat scans, refunds for this are not offered.

Exception: If a SneakPeek test cannot be completed due to an insufficient sample (for example, dehydration), we will refund your payment minus $40 for the attempted test and supplies used. There are no refunds for other purchases or services.

At Baby Haven, we use the latest HD imaging for clearer, sharper, and more detailed videos and images than older 3D or 4D technology. While you can schedule anytime, the best windows at Baby Haven KC are as follows:

• 1st Trimester (9+): Early glimpses and tiny wiggles

• 2nd Trimester (25+ weeks): First smiles and full body views

• 3rd Trimester (30–34 weeks): Full features and chubby-cheek smiles that make baby’s nose appear less prominent (most popular)

• For twins or multiples, we recommend scheduling 1–2 weeks earlier.

Elective ultrasounds: YES, but…
Brief photos or videos are welcome, as long as they are brief. Extended recordings of the appointment are not allowed and will be asked to stop immediately.

Diagnostic ultrasounds: NO
This protects your privacy, allows for a focused session, and ensures that imaging is interpreted accurately by the qualified radiologist, and nobody else. Recording during diagnostic visits is not permitted and will result in automatic termination.

For an entertainment experience that is not evaluating the health and well-being of mom and baby, please see Baby Haven’s elective ultrasound services.

Yes! Baby Haven is happy to see you anytime, but here’s what to know:

Before 6 weeks: We do not offer SneakPeek testing prior to 6 weeks, as accuracy is highest starting at this point.

6-13 weeks: This is the ideal window for SneakPeek, with ultrasound visualization supporting the most accurate experience during this time.

After 36 weeks: Your body is preparing for birth, and baby is most likely positioning for delivery (head down/face down). This can make clear full face images more difficult to capture due to less space and naturally lower fluid levels.

Pro Tip: Stay hydrated in the days before your appointment, if permitted. This helps improve clarity, wiggle room, and gives us a better session. Even after 36 weeks, we do our best to capture adorable memories to enjoy no matter when you book.

• 2D: Basic black-and-white images. Great for medical ultrasounds or annoucements, but flat and simple.

• 3D: Adds depth to see your baby’s features or the uterine lining more clearly.

• 4D: 3D plus real-time movement, watch those tiny wiggles!

• HD/5D: High-definition, lifelike images and videos with incredible detail and lighting. At Baby Haven, this is what we use for all our sessions.

• 8K: Mostly marketing hype. It’s an upscaled version of HD, not true accurate detail. You can get similar keepsakes by enhancing your HD images through AI for free, no need to pay extra here.

At Baby Haven, our licensed Sonographer with a decade of experience knows these technologies inside and out. We focus on safe, accurate imaging and beautiful keepsakes.

SneakPeek Clinical (Gender DNA Test)

• No food or drink restrictions. Avoid contact with males or male pets before your appointment. (the test picks up male DNA on your skin & in your blood!)

• Drink at least 24 oz. of water before arrival & add electrolytes if you’ve been sick or dehydrated!

2D Ultrasound (Black & White)

• Full-ish bladder recommended before 12 weeks for the best views.

• Hydrate 3–5 days before your appointment.

• A small sweet snack can encourage baby movement.

HD Ultrasounds

• Hydrate 3–5 days before your appointment.

• A small sweet snack can help wake baby, but avoid large meals or excess sugar.

• Full bladder not necessary after 12 weeks, comfort is key.

Ultrasounds:

• Dresses or skirts are fine; blankets provided for coverage.

Lab Testing (SneakPeek):

• Wear a top with sleeves that roll up easily to expose your shoulder.

• Wear something under long sleeves or you’ll be asked to remove it for the test.

Does Baby Haven bill insurance?
No, Baby Haven does not bill insurance directly.

No, we do not contact insurance providers or manage coverage on your behalf. Please check with your insurance before scheduling.
