There’s nothing more awe-inspiring for expecting parents than the sound of their baby’s heartbeat, heard for the first time during an ultrasound appointment. Now this milestone moment can be preserved forever thanks to our heartbeat animals.

The My Baby’s Heartbeat Bear kit comes with an adorable stuffed animal and a red “heart” recorder. A second recorder can be ordered to include a voice message from someone special. Simply take the recorder to your ultrasound appointment and easily switch it on to capture 20 seconds of baby’s heartbeat. (If you have already recorded the heartbeat on your phone or on a CD, it can be transferred to the heart recorder.) Then, unfasten the Velcro closure on the back of the stuffed animal, insert the recorder into the interior drawstring pouch, knot the pouch, and finally re-fasten the Velcro. To listen to the heartbeat, simply press on the animal. To stop, press again, or simply wait 20 seconds.

Our heartbeat animals can be added on to any of our ultrasound packages for $35.00 (+tax) and are the perfect keepsake, gift or announcement for an expectant grandparent, and can even be incorporated into gender determinations.

Here are some of our options. Availability will vary as our inventory is constantly being purchased and restocked. You are welcome to callemail 5 days before your appointment to reserve a specific animal to be set aside for your appointment.

Reveal your baby’s sex to family and friends with a little creativity!

We help carry out gender surprise party plans by concealing the results in an envelope to be opened at the desired time. While some choose to open this envelope later with family and friends, many host reveal parties with their pictures. Some fun ways to announce the gender include:

Bringing a gift bag to your gender reveal ultrasound and having our staff pick out and wrap the animal of your choice (pick one for boy and one for girl) heartbeat bear for only $40.

Giving the envelope to your gender revealing planner. 

We also give the option for you to have the whole room turn the color of your baby’s gender! Blue for boy, pink for girl! This is a new feature that we have added and no one else in the area performs this kind of in house gender reveal! 

We also offer the following with any imaging package

• $25 additional charge for twins
• $15 off each return visits for the same pregnancy
• $15 off for military and police personnel

Boy or Girl? Find out with the SneakPeek Clinical Early Gender DNA Test!

How does it work?

While every person has her own DNA in her bloodstream, a pregnant woman’s bloodstream also contains DNA from her unborn child. SneakPeek looks for male chromosomes in a small sample of mom’s blood. If male chromosomes are found, that means baby is a boy. If none are found, baby is a girl. SneakPeek is 99.9% accurate at 6 weeks into pregnancy.

What is the process?

At SneakPeek Labs, a test process called non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is used to analyze cell-free fetal DNA. Starting with a small sample of blood from mom, plasma is separated from whole blood by centrifuge, and extracted cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is analyzed for Y chromosomes, which are found only in males. The SneakPeek test is sensitive enough to find even a single Y chromosome, giving you confidence in your results.
