Elective Fetal ultrasounds
Beyond the Medical:
A Session for the Soul
While your doctor-ordered scans are for checking milestones, a Signature Experience at Ultrasound Express is for checking in with your heart. It is an intentional pause in your pregnancy—a time to bond, to see a familiar smile, and to share the wonder with your village. Our elective sessions focus purely on the connection, giving you the time and space that a busy medical office simply can’t.
A Note of Care: To ensure your baby’s health remains the priority, these sessions are a joyful supplement to—not a replacement for—your regular prenatal medical care. We focus on the connection, while your doctor focuses on the data
Where it all began. Our first Ultrasound Express Baby, now 5 years old and still a part of our family story.
