3D ultrasound ladies - come in

amwadas · February 2009

I'm curious, was this ultrasound with a doc or something you paid for? I have to go and see the perinatologist next week and I am wondering if they might have one of these 3D machines - the photos are so much better than the "old fashioned" one my doc has! LOL.

Most people here have paid out of pocket at some sort of facility, not at their doctors.

Unless they are high risk, then they are more likely given a 3D/4D ultrasound. Since you are going to a perinatologist, I would think there's a good possibility of you getting one.

I'm lucky that my doctor has an ultrasound machine in her office, so I get them pretty regularly. The only one I had to pay for was the down syndrome screening one.. the others have been covered. Call ahead and ask!

For me, this was just a part of my 20wk ultrasound - I did not have to pay extra for it

Ditto this.

My OB does 3d and 4d ultrasounds. At our NT the tech wanted to see more of the baby's face so she turned on 3d. We haven't been charged extra.

At my doctors office they do the big u/s in 2D but they'll get pics of the face in 3D for you. They were free but now you just pay $10 for a handful of pics. I don't have to pay though because my FIs mom works there so I get as many pics and 3D u/s as I want! I was blessed!

The ultrasound tech at the doctors office always turns on the 3D for me. She is awesome! Insurance pays so what the heck! I'm not even high risk.

I just went to a perinatoligist a couple of weeks ago and their machine actually did both. I think most perinatologists will have the best of the best equipment since that is their specialty.

I have mind scheduled for tomorrow! I will be paying for mine ($110)...

Alot of doctors don't do them unless it's medically necessary. They're considered to be done mostly for pleasure only.

I had one done with my son... and it was one of the most amazing experiences we've had. It was wonderful! So I'm ecstatic for tomorrow

I had to pay for it. I went somewhere other than my Dr's office - they offer it but you still have to pay and their packages are outrageously priced!

We paid for a package. It was $200 for a series of 3 3-d u/s. We had one at 17 weeks, we go again at 27 weeks and then will have a final at 32 weeks. It was well worth the money.
