Late Peek – Baby Position Check
Late Peek Baby Position Check
As the big day gets closer, it is natural to wonder how your little one is positioned. Come spend a little time with baby, hear that beautiful heartbeat, and enjoy one more look before you meet face-to-face.
What Your Late Peek Includes
- A 2D ultrasound peek at your baby
- A look at baby’s current position
- Watch and listen to baby’s heartbeat
- Two thermal ultrasound pictures
- A 3D/4D/HDlive peek when visibility allows
- The option to upgrade when baby is in a favorable position
A Quiet Moment With Baby
Late Peek is for families nearing delivery who would love one more chance to check in, slow down, and enjoy seeing their little one before birth.
View Appointment TimesWhat Might We See?
Babies can settle into several positions late in pregnancy. During your visit, we can show you how your baby appears to be positioned at that moment.
Head Down
Baby’s head appears toward the lower uterus.
Head Down, Facing Up
Baby may be head down while facing a different direction.
Breech
Baby’s head appears higher, with the bottom positioned lower.
Another Breech Position
Baby’s legs and bottom may also be positioned differently.
Your Prenatal Provider Is Still in Charge
Baby’s position can change. An elective position check is not a medical examination or a substitute for your prenatal provider’s assessment. Please discuss questions about presentation, labor, or delivery with your OB, midwife, or other prenatal healthcare provider.
Can We Still See Baby in 3D or HDlive?
Sometimes! At 37+ weeks, baby has less room and may be tucked deeply into position. When the face is visible and conditions are favorable, we will happily take a 3D/4D/HDlive peek.
Baby is still the boss: position, available fluid, placenta location, and limited space all affect what we can see. A clear facial image cannot be guaranteed.
And Yes—You Get to Hear That Heartbeat
Even this close to delivery, hearing your baby’s heartbeat is one of those sounds that never gets old. You will be able to watch and listen during your Late Peek.
If baby gives us a beautiful view, ask about upgrading so you can take home even more of those final in-utero memories.
A Helpful Reminder
Late Peek is an elective bonding ultrasound. It does not evaluate your baby’s health, growth, amniotic fluid, placenta, cervix, or readiness for delivery. Continue all scheduled prenatal appointments and contact your healthcare provider with medical questions or concerns.
