A lot of these pics scare me and look too alien so I didn't get any of my LO. But my friends have posted some really great ones recently and I'm kinda interested in having them done for my baby! I'm so curious about how she looks!
-
Yep, but she was uncooperative so we didn't get very good pictures. We had to reschedule from 30 weeks to 32 and she had been head down since like 20 weeks so most of the pictures include my pelvic bones.
-
No, but it is something I would like to do for baby #2.
-
Nope. I don't like them. Plus I feel like what she looks like is the only surprise we have left. Know it is a girl, know her name, just dying to know what she looks like and if she has hair.
-
We did for our first but not for #2 because the original machine at my midwifes office that did 3d broke down
I loved it, not alien like at all but we did it at like 36 weeks so there was more chubs.
-
I wanted to, but DH didn't want to, and we had so many of the regular U/S's that it wasn't practical.
-
No, I'm not really into the 3d images of babies in the womb.
-
Yes!
-
I haven't decided yet, but like @Smurfette:, we'll already be finding out the sex of the baby and determining a name so we might save that lil bit of surprise for birth.
-
Yes, but LO was very uncooperative.
-
yep - my ob/gyn did a couple of 3D images for us (it was covered by my insurance). after we saw the images of baby "A" and baby "B" in my womb, it definitely helped us decide what names we were going to pick out for them. it was an exciting "sneak peek" for us.
-
Nope. It would have been an added expense and we didn't see the need since we had plenty of 2D ultrasounds.
-
yes - but i don't think he looked anything like he did on the 3D ultrasound!
it was still really fun to get them though - we also have a video of him which I think is just super cool to have for the future!
-
@Mrsbells: me either. It's not something I plan to do if I'm ever pregnant.
-
I think they look a little creepy, so we didn't do any. Plus we're paying enough for this baby already! I can take all the pics I want once she's born, so I'm not worried about in utero pics.
-
We might, but haven't decided for sure yet! We'd probably do it in the 3rd trimester.
-
We did. She didn't want to cooperate, but we were able to get some good shots of her, and we got video in 3D so we were able to get a sneak peak of what she was doing in my belly
it was really neat. -
I'm not pregnant yet, but we won't be doing those ultrasounds. For me, I want as much to be a surprise as possible. We aren't finding out the sex, or choosing a name until the baby is born ... So, we'll do the regular ultrasounds our midwife recommends, but that's it. Nothing against the other, we just aren't really interested.
-
Yes, but we didn't intend to. We weren't going to go out and pay for them, but I had to get a growth scan at 33 weeks because of my GD and the tech had extra time so she pulled some 4D shots. They were actually really amazing and I'm so glad she did that!
-
@ladyfingers: I forgot about my stupid GD... I think I have a scan scheduled around Week 34. Maybe I won't need the 3d/4d!
-
We did, but didn't plan on it. I was hospitalized for preterm labor and they did one then, around 30 weeks. Generally, I think they are kind of scary, but I think my LO's was cute : )
-
@autumnlove: LOL yeah we did one at 33 and one at 37. Actually one at 36 too, but just a bpp, no growth estimate. They did that because the midwife I saw that week doesn't like NSTs so she pulled me off the machine and put me in the ultrasound room instead. They're not really as fun as they used to be because they're so squished in there you can't see much in the 2D. 33/34 is about the limit for being able to see a 4D clearly.
-
Yes, I did! I loved them!
-
I wasn't really interested in them.
-
Yes, my favorite thing from pregnancy! We did them at a private place at 15 and 30 weeks, the first was as early as we could get gender, the second was perfect to see what he looked like. That one really helped for naming him. It looked just like him! I fell so in love with him at that point. We had one at my ob's at 36 weeks, but their machine wasn't as good, so the pictures weren't as impressive. It was fun though since they had an ultrasound extern there, so she taught him a bunch of stuff and we got to see the baby for a really long time!
-
I find them kind of creepy, too, but when they've done ultrasounds at my dr's office, they flip the 3D part on and give us a few. I think they are only creepy while they are partially formed....once you're pretty far along, they actually look like babies and then it's kind of cool. I'm curious to see what she looks like in a couple weeks!
-
Yes we did, but she loved having her hands by her face so we could never really see her! She still sleeps with her hands over her face, so it's a personality trait she's had since the womb
-
I don't think we will. If everything is normal, I only have a 12 week and an 18-20 week ultrasound. I don't feel the need for any extras unless they are medically indicated.
We aren't finding out the gender, so it would probably be a little trickier to avoid seeing the boy or girl parts that way, too. I have the rest of my life to see what he or she looks like.
I do think some of them are really cool, but rarely would I ever be able to pick out the baby based on the 3d ultrasound. -
I did as part of a medical study, at 36 weeks! It looked remarkably like her. So cool. I shared it on IG 1-2 weeks ago!
-
Our OB's ultra-sound machine does it already so we never went out to pay for it to be done privately. It's pretty cool from all the ones I've seen of our friend's LOs. Our LO always likes to cover her eyes, but so far everyone thinks she's my mini-me.
-
At first I didn't want to get them but my grandfather fell very ill and it was important to me that he be able to see her. We had them done and he passed away two weeks later. I'm so glad that we did it and it really helped me grieve my grandfather and bond with the baby. I used one of the images we got as a focal point during labor. And also as a distraction from work before my mat leave started...
I loved it, not alien like at all but we did it at like 36 weeks so there was more chubs.
