4D Ultrasound

 

Baby Preview offers you a look inside the womb-- with 4-D ultrasound. The Anderson family sees its newest member for the first time. "There's his feet," his mom Lisa points out.
But his big brothers can clearly see his face... The shape of his nose... Even the way he likes to chew on his feet. "Kind of interesting to see what your baby actually looks like before you have it," dad Thomas comments. "This is a nice bonding experience to actually see the baby."

"There's nothing like seeing something. It makes it real," say the folks at Baby Preview. 4D animation shows the baby moving. But this isn't a diagnostic, medical exam. Baby Preview in Wauwatosa provides parents-to-be with these pictures as keepsakes.  Owner Lorraine Paradinovich loves her job. "It's very exciting to see the dads, particularly first time dads, respond and the moms and the siblings...It's wonderful."

Paradinovich and her business partner Joanne Nobisch started the business about a year ago. Nobisch worked as an ultrasound tech in the medical field for decades, and decided to take on the new challenge. "I decided why not, it's a new way to use my skills and help parents really bond with their baby to be," she told us. Some doctors criticize "boutique ultrasound" businesses-- saying parents confuse the pictures with a true diagnostic ultrasound. But Baby Preview has a policy to address that issue, Paradinovich says. "We require that they have their 18 week diagnostic from the doctor and that they're under prenatal care.

And if Baby Previews ultrasound does turn up any abnormalities in the baby, they send the scans and the information directly to the client's doctor. The Andersons say they loved the experience. They just wish it had been available when they had their other two boys. "I would definitely recommend it for anyone who is pregnant. It's an amazing experience," Lisa said. Parents take home a CD full of snapshots. They can also get a DVD or VHS showing the baby's movements inside the womb.

You're making the same value judgment the left makes - that you know what is best for his five year old child. >>>

she could have made a u turn if she didn't want her child to see the GAP signs. And instead of being so offended (a term frequently used by the PC liberals) by the signs which pro-life people were holding, taking the day off from their lives and from their families, she maybe could have returned to help them or to thank them or to find out what they were doing there or why they were there, but instead, using your words she made a "value judgment" against the volunteer, pro-life activists in her community.

My three-year-old daughter has seen the pictures (after being warned). She knows about Heaven and Hell, about evil people that do that do babies, about how we must love them and pray for them. She held a sign at the recent Life Chain. When she's old enough, we will teach her the correlation between unmarried fornication (80% abortions since 1976 are on single women) and those chopped up babies.

Why should I teach my children a lie and try to hide the truth? This is the world we live in, this is what we permit, we have to own it.

You lectured her on what was best for her child.

Read your message.

How about, "I support their right to be there, and if you feel it's not in your child's best interest to see it, I hope you distracted him, and drove away."

Don't tell other people what's best for their children, if you don't want the left doing the same to us!

It's a breakfast wish... I'M Hoping for an Omelet.

Don't tell other people what's best for their children, if you don't want the left doing the same to us! >>

I'll say what I want, how about that?

And I don't worry about the left, that's why we have so many weak-kneed congress critters because they fear the press, fear the polls and fear what people will say about them.

[Texas_shutterbug]

Say what you want, but while you were talking about the left indoctrinating his kids, you were telling him how to raise his child.

Don't see anything a bit funny about that? :)

Glad to hear them call the baby a Baby and NOT a fetus!
