FAQ’s

What is the difference between 2D, 4D, and iLive Ultrasound?

2D is the classic black-and-white outline view used during standard check-ins. 3D gives you a realistic still portrait, while 4D captures those amazing live movements on video. Our upgraded 2026 platform introduces advanced iLive skin rendering, which uses dynamic digital lighting to give you the most lifelike, high-definition clarity available today.

Is the ultrasound process safe?

Absolutely. Extensive clinical studies over the past 35 years have proven that ultrasound imaging is completely safe for both mother and baby. Our advanced 3D/4D/iLive rendering features use the exact same safe, low-intensity sound waves as a standard 2D diagnostic scan at your doctor's office, and all sessions are managed by a licensed, highly experienced medical technologist.

Do I need a note from my doctor?

No, an official doctor's note is not required to book. However, because our services are strictly elective and focusing on family bonding, we do require you to sign a standard acknowledgment form confirming that you are currently under active OB/GYN prenatal care and have already received a normal diagnostic scan.

Do I need to schedule an appointment?

Yes, Fetal Flix is available by appointment only. Because our licensed technologist maintains a highly precise, streamlined scanning schedule to maximize image tracking clarity, we cannot accept walk-ins. To help us bypass spam calls and assist you faster, we highly prefer text messages! Feel free to text us at 352-789-1881 anytime—we are available to answer your text inquiries on nights and weekends, too.

When is the best time for a 3D/4D/iLive ultrasound?

We capture gorgeous, high-contrast imagery at multiple stages! The optimal timing depends on what you want to see: 14 to 19 weeks is perfect for our 100% accurate gender determinations and watching total body movement, while 26 to 32 weeks is the golden window for catching detailed facial expressions and chunky baby cheeks.

Can I invite family and friends to join me?

Please do! We know how deeply meaningful this milestone is and encourage you to share it with your loved ones. Our welcoming studio layout is optimized for premium family viewing comfort, allowing your guests to relax and watch your baby's movements together on our large, high-definition display screens.
