| - After we found out we were pregnant, I started doing some research on these elective ultrasound places. I was convinced they'd be super expensive, but was really surprised when I found Prenatal Peek's website. When I showed their packages and photos to my husband, we decided we'd have to come here later during the pregnancy with our family (who would visit from out of town) for a 3D session.
Jump forward about three months, and we were just SO READY to know what we were having already! Our OB's office generally scheduled the mid-pregnancy (or anatomy, or 20 week, or whatever you want to call it) ultrasound at 20 weeks. This is when, had we chosen to wait, we'd find out the gender. I hopped back on to Prenatal's website, and discovered that they had a 2D gender determination package available for a totally reasonable price that they started at 15 weeks! At our next OB appointment, we spoke with our doctor about wanting to find out early and she gave us her blessing to visit an elective place. She told us to wait until 16 weeks, just to be sure, and to go for it! I called Prenatal Peek immediately upon leaving that appointment. They were extremely friendly and accommodating and were able to get us in that week! We were so excited.
The day before the appointment I received a confirmation reminder and they offered directions to the little historic bungalow that they were located in. Very sweet. I don't think I slept that night! The day of we arrived early and were immediately warmly greeted. We filled out some simple paperwork in their living room style waiting area and then were told to come on back! We met our tech ( I wish I remembered her name) who was just so sweet. The viewing room itself was HUGE and had a big, comfy hospital style bed for me with a large couch, recliners, and plenty of other seating for my husband. There was even a kid's corner with toys (they welcome other siblings!). She got started right away and explained everything she was doing and looking for. It calmed us both down immediately. Within minutes she asked us, 'ok, are you ready?!' and told us that we were having a little GIRL! It was amazing. Since our daughter was being so cooperative and she found all of her parts right away, she went back over her body, her face, and her heartbeat for us to see. It was wonderful! The ultrasound itself lasted about fifteen minutes, and when it was over she gave us a roll of photos to take home.
We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience here. Everyone we talked to, from calling to make the appointment to signing in to the tech herself, was so incredibly sweet and thorough. We absolutely CAN'T WAIT to come back later this summer to treat our family to a 3D/4D ultrasound!! If you're looking for an affordable, professional and super friendly elective ultrasound place in Phoenix I highly recommend Prenatal Peek.
