4-D Ultrasound Gives Video View of Fetuses in the Womb

We were scheduled to do a 4-D last week for our little kevkrom-ling due in April, but the little guy refused to cooperate -- he was head-down, facing Mrs. kevkrom's back. :(

Perfect delivery position, just 6-8 weeks early... too bad this was the last ultrasound, so no more chances at the 4-D.

Wow, I've never seen a tagline so obviously false.

I didn't post to this thread to have my family or myself berated. I posted to let people know how much misinformation was out there and how these pictures could help teach a lesson.

My ingnorant child and me can only hope to aspire to reach your level of enlightenment.

My wife is 16 weeks pregnant as well, and Wednesday we go to the Doctor to get an Ultrasound.

This is my third time around, and I'm STILL nervous!

[msp2004]

Always a nervous and excited time. Many blessings on you and your family!!!!

Are you sure she didn't have a 2-D? It would be highly unusual to do a 3 or 4-D that early.

I had a 4-D at 32 weeks. The detail was incredible.

Re: post #8

That was rude and uncalled for.

"You just see the whoops of joy when the fetus does something like blink," he said. "That's a very powerful impact."

No mention of the implications regarding abortion. Sad. Hopefully viewers will draw their own conclusions.

4000 babies murdered every day in the US.

I just had an ultrasound done at 16 weeks and my new daughter was sucking her thumb! I have a 17 year old and when he saw the pictures - he stopped, kinda shocked and said "Mom, I thought babies weren't alive until 6 or 7 months". I explained to him that it was a lie that abortion advocates want people to believe. He was shocked, but a picture is worth a 1000 words. Hopefully more pictures like these 3d and 4d images will change more hearts and minds.

Good for you! And your son learned a wonderful new thing that I'd bet he'll share with other teenagers. So you see, you have, maybe unintentionally, already began to educate the younger folks and counter the deception that groups like Planned Parenthood spread about.

Anyone know the cost of one of these machines? I'm thinking a great Mall business where expectant mothers can come in and get a movie made, maybe buy some cups, T-shirts etc.

Besides, you could run some cute video of a baby that was only a few months old on the store front, big screen TV, continous loop, nice little sign at the bottom, etc. It would be a great stealth anti-abortion campaign.

Now, to go off and work on the business plan....

Yeah, I'm the bad guy here.

Here is something for you to try ... when the baby is active, hold your hand on your belly and feel the movements. Get to know the pattern. Then, after the baby is born, lie down on your bed with the baby, lightly holding him/her. You will be stunned that you can recognize the pattern. Now, maybe moms know this from time immemorial, but this dad was completely blown away. Thinking about it more, have your son do this to assist with your deprogramming.

Learn to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

How did your son manage to be so ignorant?

was that really necessary ?

Is being cordial so difficult ?

[trebb]

My son-in-law is a registered nurse and has lots of good connections - nothing but the best for those with friends in the right places!

[msp2004]

Amazing and beautiful. How could anyone deny life here? These pic's should be posted everywhere for the world to see.

[Sloth]

Am I the only person here who knows that the word 'ignorant' is merely descriptive, not pejorative?

My wife wanted a 3D ultrasound for Valentine's Day this year.

My daughter, due in June:

A picture of my daughter at 20 weeks : and a picture on the day she was born-7 weeks ago.

It is amazing to see how far computers and technology are taking humankind...

With that said, I can only see this leading to fewer abortions in time. It will become more undeniable to the "abortionists" that what they preach is murder.

Its still unthinkable of the numbers of babies that will die before that time arrives...
