Seeing your baby for the first time is one of the most special moments of pregnancy — and we want to help you make the most of it! At First Impressions 3D/4D/5D HD Live Ultrasound in Salisbury, we use advanced GE Voluson HD technology to capture clear, detailed images and videos of your little one. To get the best possible results, here are a few easy tips to help you prepare for your session.
👗 1. Dress Comfortably
You’ll want to feel relaxed during your ultrasound, so we recommend wearing a two-piece outfit — a shirt or top that can easily lift above your belly, and comfortable pants or leggings that sit below it. This makes it easy for your sonographer to apply the ultrasound gel and capture the best angles without any discomfort.
💧 2. Stay Hydrated (It Really Helps!)
In the days leading up to your appointment, drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated helps improve the clarity of the amniotic fluid, which can make your ultrasound images even sharper and more defined. Try to drink extra water for at least 3–4 days before your visit — it truly makes a difference!
🍎 3. Eat Something Light Before You Arrive
Having a light snack or meal about 30–45 minutes before your session can sometimes help your baby become more active. A small smoothie, juice, or piece of fruit can encourage gentle movement — perfect for capturing sweet smiles, yawns, or waves during your ultrasound.
👨👩👧👦 4. Bring Loved Ones Along
We welcome up to five guests to join you for this special experience. It’s a beautiful way for family and friends to bond with your baby, see them on our large 50-inch screen, and share in the joy together.
💤 5. Don’t Worry if Baby is Shy
Sometimes babies have their own plans — resting on their tummy or covering their face with tiny hands. If this happens, don’t worry! Select packages include a free call-back session, so you can return at no charge to try again when baby’s in a better position. We want you to leave with images you truly love.
🌸 A Relaxing, Joyful Experience
At First Impressions, every detail is designed to make you feel comfortable, cared for, and confident. From our cozy studio to our experienced Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer (ARDMS), you can relax knowing you’re in the best hands.
