Hey guys, .I really want to have a 3d/4d
ultrasound done!
I'm only 14wks right now, but .I was
wondering if you guys
have had one done &when you had it
&how much it cost for you..
(.I live in the states, by the way).
I really want to have one done,
&.I know my doctor's office offers
them.
But it's too late to call now, &.I'm
curious.

I really wanted to have one done, but we
were (and still are) pretty tight
budget-wise, and knew our money would be
better spent on other things. Where I
live, it's around $200 or so.

Where do you live?
I was checking prices for places in
.Illinois [where .I live]
&.Most of them were in between $99
& $160..
Depending on what you got with the
package.
But .I couldn't find anything close to the
city .I live in.
Mainly .I guess .I just want to know when
they generally do them.

Oh, sorry! I live in .Louisiana.
I want to say they do them between
18-30ish weeks, but that's a guess. I
really have no idea.

Lol, don't apologize, you dork!
My next appointment is at 18wks,
so .I definitely want to call before
then.
Just to see what they have to say.
Also, does anyone know the difference
between level 1 &level 2
ultrasounds?
There's a place here that does free level
1 ultrasounds,
&if a level 1 ultrasound can tell you
gender,
.I am definitely going, haha.

I paid $159 and got about 20 pictures, a
dvd of the 30 minutes session, and a cd
with the pictures on them. I went at 29
weeks and that was perfect. Any earlier
than 26 they're too skinny, any later than
32 they're too fat. My doctor tried to
get a good shot at 31 weeks and she was
already too big. I'd recommend based on
my experience to go 27-30. Mines came
out perfect. She was very photogenic
(sp?).

I've had them for both my second and third
pregnancy--i can't tell you the cost
because i'm in canada so it was covered
because it was a medical necessity due to
my son's (first pregnancy) birth
defects.
For my second pregnancy, I was scheduled
to have it on april 1st, and wouldn't you
know it, everything closed down due to
sars. So it was delayed and I got to
around 24 weeks when my midwife started
panicking that it hadn't been done because
past 24 weeks, the baby is too big. I
think she meant that they couldn't get an
all body shot at that point. I think I
was around 21 weeks with the last one.
They're just too cool!!

I don't know where in illinois you are,
but I went to a place in naperville (just
southwest of the city) to have a gender
determination u/s. I only paid $85, but
it was only 2d...I just wanted to know
what I was having since she had her legs
crossed at my 21 week ultrasound.
That place wasn't too expensive though.

There Is No Need to Go For the Ultrasound... Read This

Hi friend that symptoms you mention about
your wife like sore nipples, bloating,
fatigue, constant urination in the middle
of the night, tiredness…etc so it is
impossible to say that your wife is
pregnant or not because there are lot of
symptoms that are related with the
pregnancy edit . All the symptoms you
mention can be present in many other
conditions, including pregnancy. Lack of
menstruation is the first sign of a
possible early pregnancy. When a woman
lacks her menstruation, the first thing
what she should think about is pregnancy.
Lack of menstruation is an unreliable
sign of early pregnancy, it can also
indicate a hormonally active follicular
ovarian cyst, so any edit assumption
regarding pregnancy should be verified
with a home pregnancy test. A positive
pregnancy test can then be confirmed with
an ultrasound confirmation of the fetus.
Most women do not feel ovulation (although
it is possible). After ovulation, the
body temperature rises slightly and
that’s how it can be detected. Another
method for detecting ovulation is using
ovulation tests.
You can take a home pregnancy test now to
confirm or exclude pregnancy.

Arcadia:
an level ii is when they look at the heart
and the brain in detail to see if they are
developing accordingly.
I had a 3d/4d done with my son and my
daughter both. My son was so sick that
they did one and then with my daughter it
was 'medicaly nessisary' to make sure that
she didnt have the same defects that he
did. My son's are so perfect that I have
them fraimed. They are beautiful.
