Elective ultrasound refers to an ultrasound exam that is not medically necessary but is performed for the purpose of providing parents with a more detailed look at their developing fetus. Unlike diagnostic ultrasounds, which are typically ordered by a healthcare provider to evaluate the health and development of the fetus, elective ultrasounds are usually requested by parents who want to see images of their unborn baby for personal reasons.

Elective ultrasounds are typically performed by private ultrasound clinics like Sweet Moments Ultrasound Studio in Chicopee, MA. These services are not covered by insurance. They can be done at various stages of pregnancy, but the most common time is between 16 and 30 weeks.

While elective ultrasounds can be a fun and exciting experience for expectant parents, it’s important to keep in mind that they are not a substitute for medical care. If you have any concerns about your pregnancy or the health of your baby, you should always consult with your healthcare provider.
