That it is best to wait till at least the
5 month mark.. Cause at least by then you
can see everything.. Yet your baby isnt
so big that all you see are angles!!!.. A
friend of mine had one.. For her third
baby.. And she said it was the best thing
she've ever done!
She said it was such a nice way to see
instead of imagining what the little one
looks like with a 3 d one...
Wierd enough though my sis who is 26+2
weeks.. When she got her u.S done.. She
had a 3 d done.. But instead of getting
that little spit out of paper with the
pics of baby.. They gave her an x-ray
sheet!.. Like that when you break an
arm!...
She was disapointed cause she wanted to
send some pics to family back home and now
she cant!...
That sucked!
I know I wont be getting my u. S done at
the same place!
Enjoy!
Hope I helped!

Thanks chyenne! I'm 5 months+ now going
on 6 soon. I just had my ultrasound
recently and I saw my baby for the first
time. It was ecstatic so I would describe
coz my child was moving a lot when when we
had it (ultrasound). From that time on my
bonding with my baby became stronger and I
can't wait to see him/her soon. Thanks
again!

By the way, does anybody live around
boston area? I'm wondering if they have a
clinic that performs the 4d ultrasound.

I got mine done at 28 weeks, they said
that's about the best time to do it!!! I
loved it, it's so worth the money!

I heard that when you're 18-20 weeks
pregnant (aka 4 1/2-5 months) you can take
a videotape into your ultrasound and
they'll tape it for you so you can watch
it....I thought that's really neat...And
you get to actually take it home with you
for a keepsake.

Jlee77
where you able to see what you are having?
Because I heard that you can't tell what
you're having 'til 18-20 weeks
pregnant....At least that's what my Dr.
Told me.

No, we wanted it to be a surprise. So
when your 16 weeks you already saw
everything? I had my sonogram when I was
19 weeks. Jlee77, i'm just wondering, you
had your 4-d ultrasound at 16 weeks?

Are you asking me if I found out what me
and my husband are having? If you are
then no we didn't find out yet....We want
to when we're 5 months or whatever.....I'm
about 11 weeks so about 3 months....I'm
due feb 1st, 2006, my one cousin beth is
due like 1 week after me, and my other
cousin on another side of the family jess
is due march 9th....(they're both cousins
from my side of the family...Just one's on
my moms side and the other's on my dad's
side).

Nicknack,
yes, the first answer was for you. I was
referring to jlee77 when she said she had
it when she was 16 weeks. I was asking if
she had the 4-d or just the regular
ultrasound. Anyway, good luck on your
pregnancy and congratulations to you and
your hubby. Take it easy.

Congratulations! I'm glad everything's
doing well. Yeah, it was one of those
life's precious moments when you get to
see your child for the first time. When I
saw mine via ultrasound, I got teary-eyed.
My hubby and I saw our baby moving-a lot!
They were kind enough to give us a bunch
of pictures with different angles of our
baby. Btw, do you have any idea how much
4-d cost? Thanks and congrats again!

My sister had hers a week ago at 27 weeks
and it was amazing. She had one with her
last daughter and I mean you can see the
difference. Annabelle (the baby she is
pregnant with now) has her nose, and
chin. The doctor could also tell that
she had a perfect spine. I think the
later you wait the better. But this
ultra sound really shows the way the baby
looks. When she had katelynn (her two
year old) the pics from the ultra sound
looked just like she did when she was
born. (her daddys cheeks and nose)
good luck.

Thanks! We plan not to know the sex of
our baby. It was tempting for me to know
but oh well...Anyway, regarding the
pricing, do they have this combo package
for example: pictures only, or pictures
with video and so on? If yes, how much
are those?
