Would you spend $85 on a 3D/4D ultrasound when your finances are low? I really want to see my baby but that $85 can go on things she need. I'm 34 weeks

Question

Answer

You will see the baby soon enough, save your money.

Answer

No. My baby has everything he needs and though I could afford it, I'm not financially comfortable to the point where I have an extra $85 to spend without it impacting some other important necessity.  
3d ultrasounds are fairly new so I didn't get to do it with my firstborn. It'd be a cool experience but at this point.. I have 6 weeks to wait before I actually see my baby in a real life version so I'll just wait :)

Answer

I wouldn't. I spent 130 on mine and was kinda disappointed. You can't control your baby's position or what they do in the womb. My son wouldn't face the ultrasound wand and when he did, he kept sucking on his arm. While still cute, I really wanted to SEE him lol the tech is letting us get a few more images on Thursday at our 36 week scan but he will be so big/squished that they still won't be the quality I anticipated. Take your $85 and save it for a newborn session after birth or go and buy things your baby needs! You'll feel better about it.

Answer

I would say no, mostly because you're past the "ideal" time to get one! They say 28-32 weeks is best for them. Plus you're sooooo close! ☺️

Answer

It is an amazing experience...one of the bests during your pregnancy. But if your baby still has things he/she needs, I'd hold off on it.

Answer

Not if the baby still has needs....

Answer

At 34 weeks I don't know if it's worth it. The best time to go is 28-30 weeks so you can get a good picture of everything. Now baby is pretty much hanging out in one position, all curled up.
