Q: How do I get my loved one’s heartbeat onto a custom piece of jewelry or captured for a tattoo?

The process is very simple. Call or text us to schedule a heartbeat capture session for your loved one and his or her guardian for children. Our registered sonographer captures the heartbeat with a 1-3 minute ultrasound session. We get the heartbeat through the upper abdomen area, just below the breastbone for children and adults, and we can get an unborn baby’s heartbeat through the mother’s abdomen (just like for all of our 2D and 3D/4D prenatal sonograms). The procedure is quick, painless, and safe! Your heartbeat keepsake will be delivered to you within 4 weeks. Contact us if you have any questions or need assistant setting up an appointment! Not local? Order directly your jewelry directly through HeartbeatKeepsakes.com ! The same process is also used to capture the heartbeat for the purpose of getting a tattoo. You will receive one printed image of your heartbeat and an outline of the waveform if desired at the time of your appointment.

Q: Do I need an appointment?

Yes, our ultrasounds are by appointment only. You can book your session online to find a time that works for you! We try to be accommodating to the needs of our clients, and are available for evening and weekend sessions. Weekends and weekday evenings do fill up the fastest though, so be sure to book in advance to ensure your spot!

Q: Will I get pictures like the ones I see on your website?

Image quality does vary depending on a number of factors such as amniotic fluid levels, maternal tissue, and baby’s positioning. At the sonographer’s discretion, a make-up session can be scheduled.

Q: What is the Early Gender Determination Blood Test?

What is SneakPeek® Clinical? SneakPeek Clinical ® is our Early Gender DNA Blood Test offered to women starting at 6 weeks into pregnancy. With SneakPeek's new Snapkit, our trained staff uses the new Snap device to painlessly obtain the blood sample. The samples are sent from our studio to the laboratory for testing. The laboratory offers the fastest turnaround times in the industry. Upgrade to SneakPeek Premium to get FastTrack results in 2-3 business days and a 2D or 3D/4D/HD ultrasound to view your baby with one print that you can take home. How does SneakPeek® work? SneakPeek utilizes the natural process of shared fetal DNA circulating inside the mother’s bloodstream. Our PCR technology has the ability to detect the presence or absence of male Y chromosome in the blood sample provided starting at 6 weeks into pregnancy. If it is detected then the baby’s gender is male and if it is not detected then the baby’s gender is female. Twins If you are expecting identical twins, you can use SneakPeek to determine the gender of both of your babies with accuracy. If you are expecting fraternal twins, and the test detects the male Y chromosome, at least one twin is a boy. There is no way of knowing if they are boy-boy or if they are girl-boy twins until you can get your ultrasound. However, if the test does not detect the male Y chromosome, both babies are definitely girls!

Q: Are you able to determine the gender of the baby?

Yes, we are able to determine the gender of the baby at 14 weeks with ultrasound if you desire those results. Gender determination is not guaranteed on the first session due to some limiting factors, such as fetal position, placental placement, or amount of amniotic fluid etc. If, for any reason, we cannot determine the gender after 14 weeks, we are happy to schedule another appointment at a later date at no additional charge. Gender determination starts at 6 weeks with our Early Gender Determination Blood Test. We offer a money back guarantee on all of our gender determinations at Meet Your Miracle! If you prefer to keep the gender of the baby a secret, we can still do a 3D/4D scan! Just be sure to let us know ahead of time, and we will review the images before displaying them on the large screen to ensure we don’t reveal any telling details!
