Diagnostic OB/GYN Ultrasound

The same credentialed, registered sonographers you trust for your keepsake sessions will soon offer medical diagnostic ultrasound right here in our Chesapeake studio โ€” with every exam interpreted by a maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) physician and the report sent to your provider.

Exams we'll offer

Pregnancy and gynecologic ultrasound, ordered by your provider.

๐ŸŒฑ First Trimester & Dating

Early pregnancy

Confirms the pregnancy is in the uterus, checks for a heartbeat, counts how many babies, and measures baby to establish or confirm your due date.

๐Ÿ” Anatomy Survey

Usually 18โ€“22 weeks

A detailed, head-to-toe look at baby's development โ€” brain, face, spine, heart, organs, and limbs โ€” plus the placenta and amniotic fluid.

๐Ÿ“ Growth & Biophysical Profile (BPP)

Later pregnancy

Estimates baby's size and weight and tracks growth over time. A BPP checks baby's movement, muscle tone, breathing movements, and amniotic fluid.

๐Ÿ“ Cervical Length

As ordered by your provider

Measures the length of the cervix, often used when your provider is monitoring for risk of preterm birth.

๐Ÿ”„ Doppler Studies

As ordered by your provider

Evaluates blood flow โ€” such as through the umbilical cord โ€” and is often paired with growth scans to check how baby is doing.

๐ŸŒธ GYN / Pelvic Ultrasound

Not pregnancy-related

Images the uterus and ovaries to help your provider evaluate concerns such as pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, fibroids, or cysts.

How it will work

Simple, medical-grade care in a calm, welcoming space.

  1. Get an order

    Ask your OB, midwife, or doctor to send us an order for the exam you need. Don't have one? Call us โ€” some exams can be self-referred, and we'll walk you through it.

  2. Schedule your exam

    Once we open, we'll book a time that works for you. We'll let you know about any prep, such as arriving with a full bladder.

  3. Your scan

    Your exam is performed by a credentialed, registered sonographer following medical diagnostic protocols.

  4. Physician report

    A maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) physician interprets your images, and the report goes to your ordering provider, who will review the results with you.

๐Ÿ’ณ Payment

We'll launch as self-pay, with clear upfront pricing โ€” no surprise bills. Insurance billing is coming in the near future. Pricing will be posted here when we open.

๐Ÿ’› Diagnostic vs. keepsake

Our 3D/4D keepsake sessions remain elective experiences for bonding and memories. Diagnostic exams are separate medical exams:

  • Ordered for a medical reason
  • Performed to diagnostic protocols
  • Interpreted by an MFM physician

๐Ÿฉบ Want to know when we open?

Call the studio and we'll answer your questions about upcoming exams, ordering, and self-pay pricing. Providers interested in sending orders are welcome to reach out too.

Not yet available. Diagnostic services are coming soon and are not offered at this time โ€” details, exams, and pricing may change before launch. If you have an urgent concern such as pain, bleeding, or decreased fetal movement, contact your healthcare provider right away or go to your nearest emergency department or labor & delivery unit.
