Personal Did We Get a Good Peek at Our Baby Boy's Face During Our 4D Ultrasound?

[Sheila]

We went for a 4D u/s today. Our baby boy was turned at a weird angle & trying to hide his face. I brought home the video and went frame by frame taking a few photos here & there to try & get a good picture of his face. Didn't have much luck, but I did have fun playing with the few photos that I was able to take!!!

His eye is open in this photo. His mouth & chin are hiding behind the placenta ... that's why the photo is dark & not clear at the bottom. But you can clearly see his forehead, nose, eye & cheek.

I made this to send to our families back in the states:

4D Ultrasounds are cool! (So I hear...)That picture is just amazing!

I agree 4D ultrasounds are cool! It's amazing to watch the baby move on screen.

They are super cheap here in Japan too! It's 5,000 Yen. When I did it in 2007 with my daughter, that converted to right at $50. The exchange rate has changed quite a bit since then, so it was about $57 this time. I hear it can easily be $175-$300 in the states! Yikes!!!

That is precious! My DD's insurance wouldn't pay for one since she was not at risk...

That's so cool!

I had a ton of ultrasounds when I was pregnant - but none of them 4D!

We had 2 with our 2nd DD, same situation, it was hard to get a good picture, but it was something we wanted to do. They did it twice for us, the first time she was sleeping and would not move. 2nd time I ate a candy bar and drank soda before to get her moving!!

We had to go back a 2nd time with our daughter also. This time, I started poking around & forced him to move just enough to get a glimpse of his face. LOL
