anyone had a 3D u/s or thinking of getting one? i am reading on other forums about gals that got them and they sound and look so cool. so now i am thinking of finding a place (hopefully my doc's office) that does the 3D u/s.
I never had one done but my friend did. It was wild because you could recognize the baby from the u/d pic as the 3 wk old she was at the time. As cool as it was, I didn't want one because then I'd know what my baby would look like and I wanted that to be a surprise....I must admit it was tempting though.

I've never seen any pics from the 3-D ones. I don't know anyone that has had one done. I asked my midwife if the hospital I'm using does them and she said that they only do them in high risk circumstances.
I'm going to try to have one around the end of June. Usually you have to pay for them (the place near us is $160 & includes 8 photos & a video.) I just think it is so cool. My neighbor just had hers done.

They are pretty neat, but a little strange in a way too. I had them weekly during the last month with my 2nd child to monitor fluid levels, placenta placement etc. By the time I gave birth I felt that I already knew exactly what he looked like, even down to his eyebrows and lashes. It was fun, but I think I like the surprise of seeing what the baby looks like at delivery. Heather
I am 28 weeks and will be going for one this Friday. I was told to go after 27 weeks so that there is a little bit of fat on the baby to get an idea of how she'll look. In Kansas City, it costs $100.00 and you get a DVD and black and white photos. They give you about an hour for the visit. My sister in-law did it and the baby looked very similiar to the photos when it was born. It should be fun, I also thought it would neat for my 6 and 8 year old boys to see the baby before its born!
I am having a 4D done tomorrow. My husband and I are VERY excited. In Florida is costs $125.00 and I will also get a DVD and photos. Ours will do done in our Dr. office. I am 28 weeks and I am hoping that he isn't hiding his face My mother is going along with us...early mothers day gift!
