just a tip!

If you want to see your precious baby(for free!), the local college's ultrasound technician course trainees are ALWAYs practicing on expectant mothers, because it's the only real hands-on experience that they get. Just contact them, and ask when they are doing it. They will get you to fill out a form basically saying that you've sought out prenatal care already, and just a little info on you, and voila! you get a free ultrasound! :) I have one set up for early March, and I will be around 32 weeks. I love free stuff!

Radiology would be the dept to speak to about it.

[acline93]

my friend who just had her baby gave me the information on it, and I just called the number. But I guess you'd ask if they do ultrasounds for teaching purposes. And I would contact someone in the head of the department, so nursing or something? I'm not sure what educational department ultrasound technology would be deemed under.

I juss had my anatomy today, and they took like 20 pics and I got 5 of 'em. That was my very first ultrasound. They'll do more If I was a high risk (I'm not) but other than that, They said they MIGHT do another one a few weeks before the baby Is born to make sure everythin' Is goin' how It should.

Aww man I was about to be too excited. So what question do you ask the school to see if they have this available?

[acline93]

they have to do more than one don't they? one to see if it's a "viable" pregnancy around 8 weeks, and another to make sure everything(heart, kidneys, etc) is developing properly around 18-22 weeks, right? if not, then I'd be complaining lol

[Lanny_Licorice]

Yea, It's lame. I hate my clinic. =[ Lucky you!!!

[acline93]

haha me and ashleygibson live in the same city but I meant greenville tech. but most tech schools do it.

[Ariane713]

Ga tech does this?!

[katt_3_16_13]

I def wanna look into this too. I had one at 11 weeks, one at 16, one at 18, and I'm scheduled to have another next week. I'll be 27 1/2 weeks. I want a 3d one though!!

[Adoreme]

I'm so going to look into this.

[acline93]

really? I've had 3 free so far, and my 4th is tomorrow lol

[acline93]

oh dang! I have mine set up through gtech, but I'm going to see if tri-county also does the same thing. I have a feeling they would do a better job lol

[Lanny_Licorice]

Cool beans! I'm gonna have to check that out as I only get one free ultrasound. =[

[AshleyGibson0713]

Omg acline I went to Greenville tech and did that with my first,and the poor girl had me laying on my back so long I passed out because the baby was laying on a main artery... She was taking a test and had to identify all these different things on my US and it took like 2 hours...

[lizancar]
