Spooky 3D ultrasound

Lol! I opted out of the 3D ultrasound because I had seen them from friends and I still have nightmares from them. So creepy.

Here's hoping your baby is 100% human

Don’t worry OP- your baby will be adorable!

Both my kids looked like the 3D ultrasound (30 weeks I think). I think the features are (or look) bigger on the us because the baby gains fat in those last few weeks so the nose might be a little piggy nose, but it will probably be much smaller in relation to his/her face when he/she is born. And yes, you will think your child is the most beautiful newborn on the planet (at least until you go back to those first pictures a year or two later). All newborn are kind of ugly in my opinion (even mine)

I was OBSESSED with my baby’s ultrasound photo. We got the perfect profile shot but I kept studying it and comparing it to other photos online. The forehead and nose looked totally weird; I was paranoid about the nose bone. We didn’t even find out the sex but was I freaked out about the skull.

He was fine.

Yep, happened with us, as well. I was so scared of what he would look like after that 3d us. But, he came out looking perfect.

Sometimes they move just enough at just the wrong moment so that it changes angles completely. My first looked unsettlingly like my cousin (who is not the father, lol), but my other two just looked ugly as hell on their 3D and 4D ultrasounds, just really hideous. All fairly normal looking kids.

I remember that mine looked like a cross between Gollum and one of the orcs (also from Lord of the Rings) being birthed out of a mudsack. I was HORRIFIED. Especially since the tech was so eager to point out things that she thought were cute.

She’s now 7 and only mutters “my preciousssss” once in a while

Haha. Loving these similar stories of incredulousness at eerie pics. Thanks all for laughing with me and helping alleviating my fears of birthing my barnyard animal baby!

I think reading this thread haunted my dreams last night because I dreamed I was pregnant with giraffe twins! We knew they were giraffes because you could see their long necks on the ultrasound. Obviously. I woke up my husband in the morning to tell him I hoped he'd be able to love our giraffe babies!

Ps- only 6W so my little giraffes have a long time to go I guess

They’re all squished in there. Don’t worry.

haha, don't worry too much. We got a 3D ultrasound of our second and he has the placenta and umbilical cord draped on his head like he overturned a bowl of pasta on his head. The same technician did one when I was only about 8 weeks also so we have what looks like a swollen lima bean on a stalk.

For reassurance google 3D ultrasounds, and look at the ultrasounds paired with photos of the already born child. You'll feel much better.

I didn’t get a 3D but I panicked at my 20 week ultrasound because the profile showed a little upper lip with no jaw or chin. Cried for about a week and reserved myself to a weird baby. Now baby is born perfect with an adorable mouth and when he sleeps he tucks in his bottom lip like sucking and it looks exactly like the ultrasound. Just adorable instead of terifying.
