| - This is my husband and my first baby, and since my sister-in-law had a 3D ultrasound done when she had my nephew I knew I wanted one as well. My doctor's office doesn't offer 3D/4D ultrasounds, so I went in search of where I could get one done. I found Miracle in Progress and loved the HD 4D images they have on the website. They say no other place in Las Vegas does this kind of ultrasound, and I couldn't find any place that does.
I waited until I hit 28 weeks and booked an appointment on their website for Package 1. I was happy to see they had a 7 PM appointment on a Friday, which really is the only time of day that works with my husband's work schedule. The online booking process was very simple, and I added a note that I would be upgrading to the 4D HD package, which would have brought the total to $120. I purchased a $20 for $40 deal on Yelp to use toward it, so it ended up at $100 total. As soon as I booked online I received an e-mail that asked my due date and told me to drink lots of water the 48 hours leading up to the appointment. The e-mail also had all the forms attached, so I could complete them in advance. They called the day before to remind me of my appointment as well.
After drinking what felt like tons of water over two days, we ate dinner and went to the studio. The parking lot is a little confusing to get into, you have to come from behind the building. The inside looked exactly as pictured, very clean and pretty with lots of seating. The receptionist had us pick our music, confirm the package we wanted, and we paid before sitting down. Also to note, they have two bathrooms, which is a great idea when you have multiple pregnant women in one office! The wait was very short and we were taken into the room right on time. The room is huge and could have seated a large croud, though our families live a few hundred miles away so we took advantage of the free wifi and had them Skype through our phones.
The tech started off by checking his heartbeat and confirming the baby is a boy. She asked if we wanted to see his boyhood in 3D, which of course my husband wanted to. Makes the daddies proud I guess!
The little guy first had his hands and feet in front of his face, so she asked if she could poke at my belly to get him to move. He moved a little after that, so she had me lay on my side to get a better view of him. It was absolutely amazing to see him up on the giant screen!! She took tons of still images (about 90) because he showed up so clearly, and the entire session was recorded. Don't worry, the only sound is the music you pick, so it won't record everyone yelling "AWWW" at every shot.
With our package we got two DVDs and two CDs, the DVDs have the video and the CDs have the images. We got some fantastic images and video, him sucking his thumb, opening an eye, yawning, and lots more. They also gave us (after showing interest) an Enfamil gift that had newborn formula, a freeze pack, and a carrying case. Although we don't plan on using formula, I don't pass up free stuff! By the way, the tech specifically said that I had great fluid levels and that led to the great pictures. So be sure to do as told and drink a LOT of water during the 48 hours before the ultrasound.
The receptionist and ultrasound tech were both very friendly, and we had a great experience. I would definitely return here and highly recommend Miracle in Progress!
