First View of Baby
To say it was amazing is an understatement! The tears of joy I shed this day weave a story told in three dimensions. My husband and I had the fortunate pleasure of having a three dimensional ultra-sound at BabyView in Pickering. The wonderful part is that we didn’t show up alone. BabyView offers a separate seating area with a large television, which shows the entire session just as we saw it in the private room. This allowed us to share this special moment with family - both sets of grandparents and our two year old daughter.
We learned that three dimensional imaging has been around for quite a few years, but is new to Canada in the last four to five years. This type of ultra sound uses the same type of ultra-sound waves as a traditional system, only the computer is able to take the information and create a three dimensional image on the screen that looks like a regular photograph. The first view of your baby’s face, in full three dimensions and real time movement was an emotional high.
When we first arrived we met Cheryl Mech, the owner of BabyView, who was also our sonographer for the session. Cheryl is a registered sonographer with over 15 years of experience. Once the necessary paper work was completed, Cheryl took my husband and me into the ultra-sound room, while our family stayed in the waiting area to watch the session on TV. The room we entered was very comfortable, with music playing and a large flat screen TV mounted on the wall, so that I could see everything with ease. From there we were taken on a half hour journey into my womb to see our next child in stunning three dimensional clarity. Cheryl worked very hard to get the best angles and views, showing us all parts of our baby and getting stunning views of the baby moving. You could really tell that Cheryl loves her work, saying “I have the best job in the world”, getting to share in such experiences with so many parents. We were also able to clearly determine the sex of our baby …but I’m not telling what it is.
When our session was over we received a couple of pictures printed on their colour printer, a CD of several pictures taken during the ultra-sound, and also a DVD of the entire session with music track in the background. The experience was mind boggling, and is something we can treasure for years to come as we watch the DVD of our newest edition to our family. As well, it will help to prepare our 2 year old daughter for the birth of her sibling.
BabyView is located on Kingston Rd just west of Brock Rd. in Pickering and has been in operation for the last 3 years. BabyView offers several packages and discounts for those wishing to attend more than once during a pregnancy. The best time for a 3-D/4-D ultrasound is between the 24 and 34 week mark but Cheryl has done them as early as 11 weeks as well.
