Purpose of the Service

NestView Ultrasound provides a non-medical, keepsake ultrasound experience performed in the comfort of the client’s home. The purpose of this service is to allow families to capture a 2D black-and-white ultrasound image of the fetus and record the fetal heartbeat using a Doppler device as a memorable keepsake.

As part of this service, clients may receive:

  • A printed 2D ultrasound image
  • A recording of the fetal heartbeat
  • A customizable physical photo frame that combines the ultrasound image and the recorded heartbeat

The frame may optionally include the baby’s name or a personalized message, and additional copies may be ordered to share with family members or loved ones.


Non-Medical Nature of the Service

I understand and acknowledge that:

  • NestView Ultrasound is not a medical service.
  • The ultrasound session is not intended to diagnose, treat, monitor, or evaluate any medical condition related to the pregnancy or fetus.
  • No medical interpretation, medical advice, or clinical assessment will be provided.
  • This service does not replace prenatal care or any ultrasound examination performed by a licensed healthcare provider.

I confirm that I am currently receiving prenatal care from a licensed healthcare professional.


Safety of Ultrasound

Diagnostic ultrasound technology has been widely used in obstetrics for many decades. When used appropriately and for brief periods, ultrasound is considered safe and non-harmful for both the pregnant person and the fetus according to current scientific knowledge.

NestView Ultrasound uses portable ultrasound equipment and Doppler technology solely for keepsake imaging and heartbeat recording, following reasonable safety practices and minimizing exposure time.
