3D・4D Ultrasound in the United States

The other day, I took a 3D・4D ultrasound of the fetus. (29th week 2nd day of pregnancy)

In the United States, 3D・4D is taken at another facility. (Some obstetrics and gynecology clinics have the service.)

I summarized of the facility I used, costs, good points, and precautions below.

◉ Facility I used

We made a reservation by calling this facility that looked good in the Google.

• Enchanting Baby 3D/4D Ultrasound Studio

◉ Cost

• Silver Package ($99)

【Details】

・ 8 photos (black and white photos)

・ 4 photos (color photos)

・ CD (all photos taken during ultrasound)

・ Email or Air Drop (all photos taken during echo)

・ DVD (all videos taken during echo)

◉ Good points

• I was relieved to see the fetus growing (in the United States, the number of ultrasound is small and I have not see the fetus for more than 2 months after the second echo (after the 17th week)).

• My husband felt more baby is real. (My husband was the most excited to see the face and moving of the fetus.)

• The owner was a cheerful and nice (Pleasant service is important)

• It projected on the big screen of the projector (It is fun to see with everyone accompanying you)

• Since we have iPhone, all data could be saved on the spot with AirDrop (141 photos, 1 photo = about 50KB, which is small)

◉Caution

• Drink water well from a few days before and drink orange juice on the day (Drinking water makes it clear and orange juice makes baby active)

• You can bring 2 people due to coronavirus (I went with my husband and mother-in-law)

• Since it is not a medical facility, there is no medical talk such as breech birth or body length.

◉ In the end

3D・4D ultrasound is one of the memorials and is not essential, but I recommend you to take it.

I feel relieved to be able to see the state of the fetus more clearly, and I think it will be a good opportunity for my husband, who has less chance to feel the presence of a baby than pregnant women, to feel baby.
