3D Sono - Is it worth it?

I'm still debating if I should get this done. When I asked my OB he said it's a money making thing but I know now is the best time to go and schedule one if I want one (I'm 29 weeks 2 days).

I think the pics I've seen on here from a lot of the girls look amazing....Do you think it was worth it? Who knows if I can even get an appt at this point but just wanted some thoughts, thanks!

Re: 3D Sono - Is it worth it?

We had a 3d sono at 32 weeks. I LOVED the experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. We actually saved money because we had the sono during the work week instead of during "prime" hours. We just used a lunch hour and saved over $100!

Re: 3D Sono - Is it worth it?

I did it and am so glad I did. I would do it again in an instant. I have amazing pictures and it was such an incredible experience. Definitely worth the money in my opinion.

Re: 3D Sono - Is it worth it?

I want to add that my family (my mom, sister, BIL, MIL, FIL, SIL and best friend) were all with us when we had the 3d sonogram....it was one of the best parts of my pregnancy. I HIGHLY recommend them, I plan to get another one if and when I am blessed with another pregnancy Chat Icon

Re: 3D Sono - Is it worth it?

I did and am sooo happy about it. We had the family there so everyone could experience it. I also got a dvd with the pictures which will be amaing to show DD when she gets older. It's a great keepsake.

I would do it again in an instant.Chat Icon

Re: 3D Sono - Is it worth it?

my dr freaked me out a little about these...he's far from an old fashioned dr, but his views on this seemed old fashioned, he is against having too many sonos done unless its medically necessesary, and to add to that, he questions the credentials of the ppl doing hte 3d sonos...Chat Icon so not sure what to do bc i really wanted to have one, and of course DH was there for this speech so now DH is totally anti the thought of it

Yes that would totally scare me too, my doctor does a lot of sonos though...just doesn't have the 3D machines.

Re: 3D Sono - Is it worth it?

When I first heard of these/saw them a few years ago-- I thought I was totally going to do it...

Now, the fact that it costs hundreds of dollars extra (and I am not afraid to spend money), it just doesn't seem worth it.

I can wait to see what the kid looks like.

ITA. Plus I haven't seen one that really looks like the baby anyway. Most and no offense to anyone, look scary. I don't want to be worrying for weeks that my baby is going to be scary lookingChat Icon

Re: 3D Sono - Is it worth it?

My husband really wants to do this. I've shown him pictures on here of the ladies that have had it done. So, we'll probably end up doing one down the road.

Insurance does not cover it.

My sister had one done with my nephew and he was born looking just like the picture (very adorable, and exactly like my BIL)

you're a nut Chat Icon my dd did not look scary at all, IMHO

she had nice chubby cheeks and a squishy nose Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

you have to do it after 28 weeks I would think, when they have some meat on their bones

Re: 3D Sono - Is it worth it?

For free- yes
To pay for it- not a chance

I got a free 3D and 4D sono when I had my CVS done. The baby was only 12 weeks though so I didn't see as much.
