Default 4D Ultrasounds.

So, how many pregnant ladies here have taken advantage of the inexpensive 4D ultrasounds here? I've had two!

I think it's neat to be able to see the baby before it's born, but it always looks so weird. My child, for example, NEVER stops moving. Ever. The nurses at Lester have told me I have one of the most active babies they have ever encountered. It's really hard for the 4D Ultrasound techs to get a good picture of her because she's always moving. It's fun to see all of the faces she makes though! I can tell she's already picked up both my mannerism (eye rolling) and her father's (his "pathetic" face.)

Good thing they have a limit of four weeks (28 - 32 weeks pregnant) of when you can have them done, or else I'd be in there yet again later on this month, lol!


That's her rolling her eyes, which is funny because my husband had just said something really stupid when she did that. Yay, I have someone to help me pick on Daddy, hehe. The Ultrasound Tech also think she has my nose. Aww, poor little thing =P

Interesting. Good detail. Creepy. Is the picture moving? Eerie. Maybe it's just my eyes.

Thanks for the info. We're planning to get the same thing done for our little parasite.

Nope, not moving. She's just creepy.

How far along are you?

Also, make sure you tell them you want pictures, unless of course you have a VHS player. They can record it for you, but they only have VHS tapes available, as I have been told.

Beautiful.

Looks like some impressionist painting. Kind of sureal looking with that copper tone.

Glad to see all looks fine for you, Z. Good luck.

Oh, yeah, they won't do the ultrasound until you are 28 weeks. It's not like they ask for proof, or anything, though, but 28-32 weeks is the best time. I personally liked the pictures I got at 28 weeks better than the ones at 32.

Yabiku やびく outside of Kadena does the 4D ultrasounds. That is where my wife and I went to have our baby.

Directions.. (how I know them) Go out Kadena gate one, take a left. At the very first light take a right. After that take your first right onto a street (not the U-Time parking lot). Next take the very next right and the road will curve to the left. Yabiku is right there. I am not sure of the phone number and although there are Americans that have their children delivered there I am unsure how much English they speak or understand.

It's cool but I didn't know a fourth dimension existed?
