3D - 2

Has anyone had a 4d ultrasound?

I am scheduled for a 4d ultrasound in 2 wks. Its not medically necessary so we are paying out of pocket. I was just wondering if anyone knows if they usually get a good pic of the face. My husband really wants to see it lol.

1. Depends if the baby cooperates. I got an amazing shot, and when she was born, you could clearly see the resemblance from the ultrasound. Even before she was born, we could see that she looked exactly like her daddy. It is such a great experience. Hope that her eyes are open when you get the exam....it is so neat. Also, if she's not in a good position, walk around for a bit, and she may move around. They had me do this and it worked.
2. Well. Ours turned out AMAZING.. after we went back the third time.. both the first and second times, she kept putting her hands and FEET in front of her face.. we didn't get anyyyy good shots but the last one we got oh gosh you can tell how much it looks like from the ultraosund to birth.. pretty crazy! :P
3. i got mine on valentine's day and i was 29 weeks pregnant. at first my baby was facing my back and it took us about 20 minutes to get him to turn to the side so we could see his face, but once he turned he was facing out for about 10-15 minutes. enough to get like 5 good pics of his face. i also got a dvd of the session too. it was well worth it! hopefully this link works so u can see how they turned out..its only 3 of them but i actually got 8 pics in all...good luck! http://www.parentsconnect.com/connect/boards/birth_circles/2009/april/chat_it_up_thread.jhtml?tID=49574
4. The face is usually the easy part assuming baby's not hiding. Even so, I think it's worth the little extra to get a glimpse. It helps bonding start that much sooner. Enjoy!
