AskTheSongrapher.com Allows Parents-to-be to Submit Images and Ask Questions about their Sonogram

Jan. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- San Diego, California   www. AskTheSonographer.com an ultrasound and sonogram information services company announced the unveiling of a groundbreaking information portal, the first of its kind. The web portal addresses all aspects of the ultrasound exam as well as offers a new and valuable service that allows “parents-to-be” to get expert answers after uploading sonogram images along with questions about their sonogram. An experienced ultrasound practitioner reviews the submission and provides expert responses.

Started by highly experienced sonographers who had a vision to provide a way for pregnant mothers to access accurate and reliable ultrasound information and obtain expert responses to sonogram questions throughout a woman’s pregnancy. The website responses can deliver reassurances regarding the results of a woman’s sonogram, alleviating much anxiety and imparting peace of mind. This could consist of anything from a second opinion of the baby’s gender or about something that just looks funny on one of the ultrasound images. Thanks to this portal, parents-to-be will not only be able to get answers to questions surrounding their specific sonogram it will allow others to better prepare for their own exam. This includes accessing information about the types of sonograms as well as learning more about the exam process and what to expect during the exam.

Pregnancy represents a new and mysterious phase of life for women, bringing many new questions and concerns. Issues such as the mother’s or baby’s health, what’s the sex of the baby or will I have multiple births. When an ultrasound, the most anticipated test a pregnant woman will undergo, takes place the entire family is put on notice as they eagerly await the results. One of the things they want to know most often is the answer to that infamous question – is it a girl or is it a boy. At the newly launched AsktheSonographer.com, instead of endless unanswered questions, mothers-to-be can find the answers to these and other questions they desperately seek.
According to Cynthia VanDerEyk, the lead sonographer at AskTheSonographer.com, “During a pregnancy, especially the first, a woman has many important questions. She also enters a new world of uncertainty, setting off a quest for information even wondering why they need a sonogram. There are questions about her health, her body, the health of her growing baby, and questions about which tests are recommended to check the health of her baby.” We can all agree that pregnancy is a significant time in a woman’s life. “While there is a large amount of information readily available both on the Internet and in print, much of the information can be questionable or just completely wrong. So it’s very difficult for a woman to know if the answers she receives are accurate or reliable,” explained Cynthia.

Ms. VanDerEyk further pointed out that, “The sonogram in most instances is performed so quickly that there is little time for answering patient questions or to have interaction with the doctor. Also, the sonographer performing the exam is frequently not allowed to give information about the results or answer specific questions about the exam and the baby. Not to mention, questions often arise when families leave the doctor’s office; only after they have had time to process their experience about the sonogram exam.” Because of a lack of accurate or reliable information and the almost impossibility of having all of a woman’s questions answered during the sonogram, AskTheSonographer.com was established as the place to turn to in the event parents-to-be have sonogram questions.
