Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

Tonight is my big level II. We already know that baby is a boy, but from what I understand, this is the most comprehensive sono we'll get through the whole pregnancy. And at this point, we don't know if there will be a baby #2 (for a while, at least!).

I would love to share it with my family, but I know the Dr's office isn't keen on a party in the sono room. And there's no way I'd invite my ILs there anyway...

Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono? I don't know if this is weird, or something that people actually do.

Please don't think I'm a weirdo!

(I'm going to bring a DVD with me as well - I know some u/s machines have recording capabilities, so that may be an option too. If that's available, we obviously won't need to pull out the video camera.)

Thanks!

Re: Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

yes - but we checked with the RE beforehand - the doc was FINE with it.

Give your OB or place you're getting done a call - see what they can do!!!!!!!!!

Re: Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

argh...i'm trying to avoid calling them! The receptionist often knows nothing and more often than not, her answers are wrong.

Do you think it would be OK to just ask the tech before she begins tonight? It's the same tech we've seen for the past 10 weeks - we've kind of built up a little relationship. I think she loves my DH!

I *think* you are not allowed to....

Re: Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

I'd like to but last time I went there was a sign that said no cameras or video cameras.

Re: Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

I asked at my Level II (I had it with me) and I was not allowed to.

Re: Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

okkk...we'll see how it goes!

Thanks!

Re: Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

we were able to bring ours in but dumb a$$ DH thought he was recording and didnt even have it on so we will bring it to the next one

Re: Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

At our OB's office it is not allowed. There is a sign in the sono room & we even asked.

Re: Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

Its not allowed where I went, but I would bring it with me and ask the tech. Good luck!

Re: Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

We were told no cameras , video cameras or picture phones.

Re: Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

Not a weird ? at all. I wondered the same thing. My mom is in FL and I hate the fact that she's missing these sonos

Re: Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

Is the level II The Anatomy Sono??

Re: Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

Video is not allowed during sonos with my doc.

Re: Have you ever brought a video camera to a sono?

the tech said my DH couldnt tape during the anatomy scan, but as soon as she was done she would let him tape it. He did it with his blackberry (its still in my profile)

not allowed at my place.

I was so unimpressed with our level 2- the tech stunk... was all business, just flying through it trying to get the shots. And she got really crappy pics (not her fault, we have a stubborn child ) but it was just a real let down. We were happy that everything looked good and the baby was healthy (obviously the most important thing), but we decided to get the 4D now (which we had both strongly decided against) b/c of that experience.
