hannahe`s poll Show results | Hide results


Pregnancy-poll poll I am thinking of getting a 4d ultrasound so that my hubby can have a picture of the baby while he is working 3000 miles away for 6 months, however the u/s would be pretty early probably about 16 17 weeks.do you think that would be a waste of money cuz it would just look like a blob?

in my opinon... i`d wait, unless u want it that badly.. i had first 4d at 20 weeks and i love it but baby doesn`t have alot of fat yet so it looked like a skeleton with skin.... very thin. i have another one @ 7 months and am very excited.

I had one at 16 weeks and it looked pretty human to me.

The diference is HUGE between a before 20wk scan and a 30wk scan! My 30wk was proper baby but one before that was a baby but coz they have no fat or anythin on them yet looked bit like an alien! but they look more baby like than a blob hehe. Why not give him one of ur normal scan pictures then suprise him in 2mnths with a proper 4D picture! he`d probably love that to see how his little one is growing x

I had a scan at 24 weeks and it was such a difference to the 18 week one.. i`d wait as long as you can :) by 24 weeks she looked like a human baby but tiny.. soo cute :)

I LOVED MINE AT 18 WEEKS!!! he looked so cute and perfect, definatly not blob-like. get it done, you will like it

I had mine done at 22 weeks, if I had to pay for it I would have waited until atleast 27 weeks, I could make out his face, but it still wasn`t very clear! If I was you I would wait and send him a pic later

That`s a really sweet idea of something to do for your hubby. Totally go for it!!!

it won`t be a blob, just very skinny!

There`s a picture on my profile of the scan..

I`ve already commented below.. I had mine done at 15 weeks and yes, I did find out the sex then.. and you can clearly see a boy`s piece that early if the baby is cooperating. Good luck!

You could always send it to him later, right? Then you could wait until 20 weeks when you will have a better chance of seeing the sex. :)

Go for it!! I had 4D done with baby #1 at 13 weeks....there were some shots where he (and yes, it looked like a little man that early!) look at bit alien-like as they don`t start putting on much fat until 17/18 weeks. But it is gorgeous, it certainly does NOT look like a blob, it is an amazing little human. If you are getting it done around.16/17 weeks it will be a miniature baby!!! It`s awesome!!! I had other 4Ds done at 18 weeks and at 28 weeks. I liked the 18 week ones the best!!!

hannahe (1004.7 days ago)
yay!! thanks girls now im excited!! i hope we could see the sex too that would be a cool suprise!

jessberr31 (1004.7 days ago)
Oh yeah, deff not just a blob anymore!

jessberr31 (1004.7 days ago)
I wanted to get one early and I called the place and they wouldn`t do it until after 20 weeks, even though I was paying! I was so mad. But I know other women who got to do it early and I would deff jump at the chance if I were you!

armymom (1004.7 days ago)
I had mine done at 15 weeks.. and he was the cutest little blob ever!! =)... you`d be amazed how human they look at that age. I would do it if I were you. I did cause my husband was deployed.

Lou-Li-Ro (1004.7 days ago)
It defo won`t be just a `blob` at that stage. Look at the week-by-week in the pregnancy section and check out that week!

It will look like a tiny baby...you may be able to see the sex on that one :)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
