Yes. Baby Haven’s services are performed by an RDMS credentialed healthcare professional. While our elective ultrasound experiences are popular and blissful, a large portion of our weeks are dedicated to completing provider-ordered fetal screenings and pregnancy monitoring for local healthcare providers, with radiology interpretations provided by a board-certified radiologist. Baby Haven is your one-stop for routine pregnancy services in Kansas City!

Baby Haven KC provides:

• Elective 2D and HD ultrasounds
• Provider-ordered diagnostic ultrasounds
• Prenatal lab services, including SneakPeek Clinical and genetic testing

Elective ultrasounds are available as early as 6 weeks to see your tiny baby and witness strong flutters. Our earliest heartbeat has been captured at 5 weeks 5 days.

Before 6 weeks, even with vaginal probes, many pregnancies only show a gestational sac and yolk sac as biology is our only limit at Baby Haven. Visit our online gallery for real visual examples of what Sydnee has captured with our machine during different stages of pregnancy.

Sometimes baby may be sleeping, facing away, or in a difficult position. We provide time for them to wake during their unique milestone, use experience and positioning techniques to capture the best images possible, and never ask parents to return for an incomplete service.

Popular timeframes include:

• 9+ weeks: Early movements and adorable little wiggles
• 25+ weeks: Developing features, facial details, and full body views
• 30–34 weeks: Ideal timing for HD facial images
• Before 37 weeks: Best time for last chance views before baby has less room to move into ideal positions

An anterior placenta is common and usually does not prevent beautiful images.

We use positioning techniques and experience to help capture the best views possible.

This is very common with ligaments in the pelvis, often returns to anatomical position as your uterus expands over time, and shouldn’t be an issue at Baby Haven.

We adjust positioning and techniques to help capture clear images no matter the obstacle.

Preparation depends on your service. See confirmation emails and website for service-specific tips.

General tips:

• Follow your confirmation email instructions
• Stay hydrated before ultrasound appointments
• Wear comfortable clothing with easy belly access

For ultrasounds:

• Comfortable clothing
• Two-piece outfits are recommended for easy belly access

For lab testing:

• Wear a shirt with easy sleeve access

We ask that you call ahead to make sure someone is available at the front desk, otherwise we may be in a lengthy appointment resulting in a long wait.
