Frequently Asked Questions – Pregnancy Ultrasound in Tampa

1. When can pregnancy be seen on ultrasound?

Pregnancy is usually visible through an early pregnancy abdominal ultrasound in Tampa starting around 5 to 6 weeks of pregnancy. At Preggoland, expecting moms may schedule an early prenatal ultrasound as soon as this stage for pregnancy confirmation and reassurance. As an elective ultrasound studio, appointments are available anytime after early development is visible.

2. How do you determine the baby’s gender—ultrasound or blood test?

We offer both gender reveal ultrasound and early gender blood testing in Tampa.
Gender ultrasound: Available at 14+ weeks of pregnancy
Gender DNA blood test: Available starting at 6 weeks, with best accuracy at 7+ weeks when fetal DNA levels are higher in the mother’s bloodstream

These options allow parents to choose early gender determination or traditional ultrasound confirmation.

3. How soon will I receive my results?

For gender blood tests, results are typically delivered within 1 to 2 business days via secure email.
For gender reveal ultrasound sessions, you will leave with your baby’s gender photo or, if preferred, a confidential result sent to your designated gender keeper.

4. Is the procedure safe for me and my baby, especially in the first trimester?

Yes. Our prenatal ultrasound services in Tampa use sound waves only—no radiation—and follow the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

During the first trimester, we use carefully controlled settings and limited exposure time to prioritize fetal safety while maintaining clear imaging. Our goal is to provide early reassurance while keeping ultrasound exposure at the lowest safe levels.

All sessions are performed using advanced medical-grade technology and focused on comfort, safety, and peace of mind for both mother and baby.

7. Can family members attend the ultrasound session?

9. What is the best time for a 3D/4D ultrasound?

The best time for 3D/4D ultrasound imaging in Tampa is between 27 and 34 weeks of pregnancy, when facial features are more developed and typically easier to visualize. While 3D/4D ultrasounds can be performed as early as 12 weeks, the most detailed facial images are usually achieved during the third trimester. After 35 weeks and up to 39 weeks, 3D/4D imaging is still possible; however, it may become more challenging to obtain clear facial views due to the baby’s position, decreased amniotic fluid space, and engagement in the pelvis. For the best results, we recommend scheduling your 3D/4D ultrasound in Tampa during the 27–34 week window whenever possible.
