aren't they awesome?! have you seen these before?? amazing technology!

I've gotten to see a couple babies that way - 3-d Ultrasounds. My friend's twins were "high-risk" so they did the 3-D Ultrasounds several times. They ended being born almost 2 months early, but are fine now!


Hi there, Emily-to-be!

[chocolatepuppy]

How sweet! I have a great neice named Emily. I bet you're so excited and she'll be here in time for Christmas! Thanks for sharing! :D

[NoahsMommy]

How exciting!! Congrats on being an auntie to cutie pie Emily! :)

[Laura's Babies]

I wish they'd had ultrasounds when I was having babies... Those are AWESOME!

[CountryWolf07]

How amazing.. :)

[furrykidsmother]

WOW!! Technology sure has come a long way.

Congratulations to you and your sister!

[Samantha Puppy]

So cool! I would LOVE to get a 3-D sonogram of little Nugget but my husband keeps balking at the price, and so far all the hinting to my mom and mother-in-law haven't worked... I'm keeping my fingers crossed though!

How much are they? Doesn't insurance cover sonograms?

I just love the pic of the baby yawning . . . guess I never thought about them yawning in the womb!

My baby fever is growing more and more . . . *sigh*

[DJFyrewolf36]

Welcome to PT baby Emily! Wow, those are great pictures!

*HUGS* and congrats to your sister, and to YOU! Being an aunt is so much fun!

[Samantha Puppy]

How much are they? Doesn't insurance cover sonograms?


Insurance only covers sonograms for medical reasons. The places that offer 3-D sonograms are not associated with doctor's offices, so it isn't covered by insurance. The only time I could figure it would be is if the local radiation site near you has advanced enough equipment that THEY offer 3-D scans - in which case you can't have it done there unless you are sent there by your OBGYN.

As for the cost - they offer different packages. The place near me has a package for as "cheap" as $120 and it goes up another $200 depending on what you want included - black and white pictures, color pictures, screen captures from the scan, the scan on DVD... Heck, I'd be happy with the $120 one. I just want to see my baby in 3-D!

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

OMG those pics are amazing! I can't wait for my 3-D scan!

Congrats to soon-to-be Auntie Gina!! (I remember how excited I was last year when my dear SIL made me a first time auntie when she had my neice Amy) It's such fun being an auntie - a great excuse to SPOIL them rotten :D

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Emily has such a sweet little face :) I bet she will be a beautiful babygirl!!

[new mom to a veiled]

That is so amazing........congrats to the new auntie :)
I didn't know they did them in 3D.......my son is only 10 months old. I never had the option offered to me!!

[carole]

wow I cannot get over how clear the 3d pics are, absolutely amazing, I had ultrasounds for both my children, but in my day it was impossible to even really make out a baby to me, these are fantastic, and Samanthas Puppy, whatever you do get a pic of your baby it is something you won't regret spending on and something that is priceless.

Emily sure looks a cutie pie, it will be awesome to see her when she is born, congrats Gina on becoming a new Aunt. :)

I have 2-D pictures of the little guy. I just want 3-D! Maybe I should set up a foundation - Nug's 3-D Sonogram Fund. ;)

[QueenScoopalot]

Amazing pictures of your niece to be! :eek: How exciting technology has become over the last decade or so...so neat to be able to see the baby still in the womb! :)

[finn's mom]

Those are beautiful!!

[Jadapit]

Those pictures are amazing! Wow! I cant get over them. I love the one of the baby yawning. So sweet.

[sandragonfly]

thank you everyone!!! http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b127/mystichild/pinkgrin.gif http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b127/mystichild/pinkgrin.gif I just can't wait.. :)

for those wanted to know..

I got this from my sister, probably depend on location..

you also can get two for one, $250 ($125 each instead of $185) - have a preggie friend near you??

and in that $125 package, you get about 80 pictures on CD, all 3D, (4D too, 4D is 3D plus moving-on the video) - you get one video tape with 25 minutes of 2D, 3D & 4D - all to a lullaby! ..

heck, that would be better than your $120 package, samantha puppy! ;)

for more information, www.4Dfetalimaging.com (415-GO-ULTRA) - have fun!! http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b127/mystichild/pinkgrin.gif

edit: sorry, didn't realize it was 415 - try 800/888 or something? I'm sure you can find a similar website in your area?

happy hugs,
..me!

Each place that offers scans charges different for different packages. You live in San Fran, CA - I live 3,000+ miles away in MD. The one I mentioned is the only one I know of near me and since all I want to do is see my baby in 3-D, the $120 package works for me... if I can just manage to convince someone to split the cost with me. Any takers? ;)

I'm also hoping it can give me a better idea of whether or not he has Down's.

[sandragonfly]

humm, wouldn't a entire video be cool?

the link I posted, didn't get chance to open it but is that only for san franciscians?
my sister is, not me! :)

An entire video would be awesome, but at the place near me that's upwards of $400 and I just don't have that...

As for the site you linked to - the (415) area code is San Fran, and as of right now, I dont know of any franchise 3-D sonogram places so I think each place that offers it wherever they are can charge whatever their little hearts desire.

Oh well - I guess I'll get one if I'm meant to! Otherwise, I've only got about 10 weeks to go!

[sandragonfly]

I just got an email from my broher, my sister is back into hospital, having premature labor right now...

can anybody explain me what exactly is this!? this doesn't sound too good!! :( :confused: :(

please spare a short prayer that it's nothing! :( ..

edit: missed your reply, $400 - :eek: wow. that's too much. well, good luck finding a friend!

[Jadapit]

Gina, premature labor means the mom is going into labor before she is supposed to. It happens sometimes. That happend to my sister. They were able to stop her labor and everything was fine. Your sister will be in my thoughts. Keep us posted on her.

[sandragonfly]

thank you jadapit!

sorry for confusion - I know what's 'pre' but why is this causing her? it's not always because of bad cause, right??

and how can they stop the labor? is that okay, unharmful? I'm worried.. :confused:

[Samantha Puppy]

They can stop the labor with drugs. One of my coworkers and another coworkers wives went into pre-term labor and the birth was postponed until later - but both of them were on bedrest, so your sister may have to go on bedrest as well. Depends on how active the pre-term labor was and how long she let it go on before she got to the hospital.

My thoughts and prayers are with her - keep us updated... but if she's above 22-24 weeks, the baby has a decent chance of making it as that is when the lungs are mature enough to handle the outside world. My one coworker's wife went into labor with their triplets at 24 weeks and with the drugs they were able to hold off to 29 weeks and all 3 babies are healthy and happy and almost a year old now. No worries - medical miracles happen every day!
