We had the good fortune of connecting with Ashka Din and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ashka, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind the success of Oh My Baby! Ultrasound is undoubtedly the emphasis on personalized care and genuine connections that I make with my clients. Simply put, quality over quantity. While numbers matter, it’s the meaningful connections forged with moms and parents that truly set us apart. I’m not just here to capture images; I’m here to create an unforgettable experience for expectant families, one that transcends the pregnancy journey. Witnessing the sheer joy on their faces when they see their baby is what fuels my passion and keeps me going. It’s not just a job, it’s a privilege to be part of such a magical moment in their lives.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My career journey has been a fulfilling blend of passion, perseverance, and growth. What sets me apart is my unwavering dedication to providing exceptional care and experiences for expectant parents. I take pride in my ability to combine advanced ultrasound expertise with genuine compassion, ensuring each family receives personalized attention and top-tier service.

Getting to where I am today professionally, wasn’t easy. It required navigating challenges, balancing career aspirations with family commitments, and taking risks. However, with determination and the support of loved ones, I overcame obstacles and embraced opportunities for growth.

Along the way, I’ve learned invaluable lessons about resilience, adaptability, and the power of genuine connections. I’ve discovered that success isn’t just about reaching milestones but also about the impact we make on others’ lives.

My brand, Oh My Baby! Ultrasound, isn’t just about providing diagnostic and elective ultrasounds—it’s about creating cherished moments and fostering bonds between parents and their unborn child. My story is one of passion, purpose, and the pursuit of excellence in maternal-fetal care. And yes, there have been a few moments where I’ve had to laugh to keep from crying!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my bestie decided to crash in Houston for a week, you bet we’d be hitting up all the hot spots! I love how I live in a city where this something for everyone and a million different types of cuisines to choose from. Here’s a sneak peek of our agenda:

Day 1: We’d kick things off with a fancy dinner at Uchi, because sushi and sake are always a good idea. I am a huge football fan (I know, shocking!!), so we would definitely go check out a Houston Texans game.

Day 2: Time to get cultured! We’d start with brekkie at The Breakfast Klub for some soul food goodness, then hit up all the museums in the Museum District. My favorite is the science museum- my kids absolutely love the dinosaur exhibit.

Day 3: Brunch at Musaafer for some Indian eats, followed by some friendly competition at Topgolf. And of course, we’d end the day with a bar crawl in Midtown – because why not?

Day 4: Beach day, baby! A road trip to Galveston for seafood by the water and maybe a ride on the Pleasure Pier. Sun, sand, and snow cones on the beach. It’s Houston, so most likely it will be nice an hot!

Day 5: Mexican food is a must in Houston, that’s for sure. I love me some El Tiempo and then go for some shopping in the Galleria Mall.

Day 6: Time to groove! Dinner and a show at the House of Blues, with a pitstop at Axelrad Beer Garden for some pre-concert drinks. Or even a comedy club!

Day 7: We’d finish off the week with a Texan-style barbecue extravaganza at Killen’s BBQ, followed by some good ol’ fashioned Texas two-stepping at a local honky-tonk. Yeehaw!

In between all the fun, we’d squeeze in some shopping at the local markets and soak up the scenery at parks like Hermann Park and Buffalo Bayou Park.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Absolutely! There are several individuals and groups that have played pivotal roles in my journey with Oh My Baby! Ultrasound. First and foremost, I’d like to extend a heartfelt shoutout to my previous coworkers and MFM doctors. Their guidance, mentorship, and unwavering support have been instrumental in shaping me into the sonographer I am today. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities they provided me to learn and grow, and for instilling in me the confidence to strive for excellence in every scan. Their expertise and feedback have not only elevated the quality of my work but have also inspired me to continuously improve and refine my skills. Their trust in me to deliver accurate and detailed images has been a driving force behind the success of Oh My Baby!

Last but certainly not least, I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my supportive husband. His unwavering belief in me and my capabilities gave me the courage to take the leap into entrepreneurship. When I made the decision to leave my position at Houston’s top maternal fetal clinic to become a stay-at-home mom, he stood by me every step of the way. And when the idea for Oh My Baby! Ultrasound was born, he encouraged me to pursue it wholeheartedly, providing the support and encouragement I needed to turn my dream into a reality.

The success of Oh My Baby! Ultrasound is the result of the collective support, guidance, and encouragement of my coworkers, mentors, my loving husband, my parents, my brother, my sister in law, my friends and my beautiful children. Their belief in me has been the driving force behind my journey as an entrepreneur, and I am forever grateful for their unwavering support.
