The total pregnancy ultrasound package!

Just thought some of you might be interested in this...

Insight Radiology (North Shore & Parnell) have bought out a Pregnancy Ultrasound Package.

Its a one off payment of $220.00 and covers all of the scans you will have during pregnancy (they all have to be referred though).

You get to see the bubs in 4D at each and every scan and you get two DVDs (one at Nuchal one and Anomoly stage)

I also asked if you could have the DVDs at another stage (as we arent having the nuchal) and they said it was fine.

With Isabelle I ended up having about 8 scans and spent a fortune .. so this time I'm going with the package!

Where I go in Hamilton, its free for any scans under 12 weeks. Then after that they are $35. And you get a dvd with any scan you get. But no 3D scans....which I personally think some make the baby look ugly so it didn't worry me not having one lol.
So if you just had the standard scans at nucal and 20 weeks its only $70 anyway.
But thats in Hamilton....

When I went to Insight last time it was $95 for the 3D scans where you got a CD and about $65 for the normal ones with no CD. 4D was more.

It's a good deal! Insight are expensive normally but they are among the best and most exact out there.

Where I go the only scan you pay for is the nuchal scan , and dvds are $30 and 3d scans are $100

but that sounds great!

Sorry meant to say 4D scans are $100....I dont even know what 4D is!

I thought 4D was what you have posted and 3D was what's in your ticker

Now I'm all confuzzled.

I saw it in the local paper on Wednesday 26th November and called them on the following Monday to find out more info (as the price wasnt listed in the article)

Maths lesson girlies:
A straight thin line = 1 dimension (it only exists on 1 axis, eg X or Y)
A square = 2 dimensions (it exists on 2 axis, X & Y)
A cube = 3 dimensions (it exists on 3 axis, X, Y & Z)

Your general, everyday ultrasound (the black & white ones) are 2D
lilfatty's picture up there is a 3D image
4D is a load of rubbish really, BUT, they are calling it that as they are classifying TIME as the 4th dimension (seeing the baby move around in the 3D environment, you can not have a photo of this, only a video, because as soon as you make it still, your back to a 3D image).
   




edit to add - My scan at Horizon was free, but the DVD of the scan cost $30. My 8 week scan at Auckland Radiology was $25
