What is the best time for a 3D/4D ultrasound?
The best time for a 3D/4D ultrasound is between 26 and 32 weeks of pregnancy.
Many parents ask when they’ll get the clearest images of their baby. At Chubby Cheeks 3D/4D Ultrasound Studio of Reno & Sparks, the ideal window is 26 to 32 weeks, when your baby’s features are more defined, yet there’s still plenty of space for movement. Earlier sessions (20–25 weeks) show full-body kicks and stretches, while later visits focus on detailed facial expressions. For twins, we recommend 24–28 weeks. Staying well-hydrated before your visit also helps image clarity. You can explore available sessions and secure your preferred time through our online booking link here → Book Now.
How early can I find out my baby’s gender?
We offer gender blood testing as early as 6 weeks, and ultrasound gender reveals starting at 14 weeks.

Can I come in more than once during my pregnancy?
Yes — many families visit multiple times to watch their baby grow throughout pregnancy.
A common question is whether you can schedule more than one ultrasound. Absolutely! Many parents in Northern Nevada book a series of sessions — one early heartbeat or gender visit, followed by a 3D/4D session between 26 and 32 weeks later. Returning lets you see your baby’s growth and capture different stages of development. Some families even return for a follow-up to share their experience with relatives. You can easily view multi-session package options or book your next visit through Book Now.
When should I schedule my appointment to get the best time slot?

What is the difference between 2D, 3D, and 4D ultrasound?
2D shows flat images, 3D adds lifelike detail, and 4D adds motion so you can see your baby move in real time.
A common question is, “What’s the difference between 2D, 3D, and 4D ultrasounds?” At Chubby Cheeks 3D/4D Ultrasound Studio of Reno & Sparks, we use all three to create different experiences. 2D ultrasound produces classic black-and-white images showing your baby’s shape, heartbeat, and position. 3D ultrasound adds realistic depth and facial definition — perfect for photos. 4D ultrasound captures movement, letting you watch your baby smile, yawn, or stretch in real time. These imaging types are safe, elective, and available in select packages. Parents across Northern Nevada love combining 3D and 4D for the most vivid keepsakes. You can explore all imaging options and schedule your session right now → Book Now.

How is elective ultrasound different from a medical ultrasound?
Elective ultrasounds are non-diagnostic, keepsake sessions focused on bonding and memories—not medical diagnosis.
While medical ultrasounds are performed in a clinical setting to check your baby’s development and health, sessions at Chubby Cheeks 3D/4D Ultrasound Studio of Reno & Sparks are designed purely for bonding and celebration. Our ultrasounds are non-diagnostic, meaning they’re not used for medical evaluation or measurement. Instead, families visit us to enjoy seeing their baby’s face, hearing the heartbeat, and creating keepsake photos and videos in a relaxing, family-friendly atmosphere. We use the same safe, FDA-approved imaging technology that medical offices use, but with a focus on comfort, clarity, and connection. Many parents combine an early 6-week gender blood test with later 3D and 4D ultrasound sessions to experience their baby’s growth over time. It’s an unforgettable way to capture and share milestones.
