I'm mostly wondering about how to hold it and look at the same time. For my first anatomy scan I remember it was slightly awkward since you're completely flat and staring at a screen...not sure if I'll be able to hold my phone and be able to focus at the same time. I think I'll need to enlist the help of someone in the office! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype-or-facetime-during-an-ultrasound#post-1844472 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 20:18:00 +0000 travelingnanny 1844472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as you're cool using your data then I don't see why you couldn't Skype/ FaceTime during the appointment. I think the issue might be a time zone issue, depending on where your husband is stationed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype-or-facetime-during-an-ultrasound#post-1844457 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 20:03:18 +0000 singingbee 1844457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Rabbit: I've done both! DH couldn't be at our 20 week appt so my sister went. She took a video and I held my phone and he was face timing with me there. He got to hear that we were pretty sure we were having a girl. We saw the three lines. We then had our 'big' ultrasound at 22 weeks and they confirmed that we were having a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype-or-facetime-during-an-ultrasound#post-1844450 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 19:55:49 +0000 Mrs. Rabbit 1844450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I hope someone will be available and want to help! A video and email is definitely our back up plan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype-or-facetime-during-an-ultrasound#post-1844383 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 19:01:32 +0000 blackbird 1844383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ask a nurse, I bet they would be thrilled :)</p> <p>My friend took a video and emailed it. Skype wasn't an option </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype-or-facetime-during-an-ultrasound#post-1844377 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 18:54:26 +0000 Mrs. Rabbit 1844377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you used Skype or FaceTime during an ultrasound? I'm hoping to FaceTime with my husband during our anatomy scan. I'm just wondering about the logistics—was it awkward to hold the phone and see the screen at the same time? </p> <p>I'm thinking I may ask/beg for a nurse or someone to come in and hold the phone? My OB practice is totally fine with me doing it, we just have to hope that the connection will work on both ends and that my husband's schedule will work. Lots of variables to jump through, but hopefully it'll work! </p> <p>Did you do it? Did it work out for you? Any suggestions? </p>
