A 3D ultrasound is not a medically neccessary exam, so insurances are not thrilled to pay for "entertainment ultrasounds." A 3D ultrasound is not typically done at an anatomy scan because the clearests pictures are done around 30 weeks, as apposed to 18-20 weeks.
A 3D ultrasound is sometimes warranted if there is a suspected abnormality under ultrasound. A 3D ultrasound is MUCH clearer and therefore would help with diagnosing an abnormality. For all the lucky other people out there, 3D ultrasounds are an out of pocket expense.
At little Bo Peep we keep our prices as low as possible, with the best possible machine and techs to make it an affordable splurge.

3D/4D ultasounds are mainly used for fun eventhough they may harm the fetus. Two independent studies have shown possable brain damage in fetal mice. One of those studies was done at Yale. When needed for diagnostic reasons then they should pay for it.
The fetal mice study is like comparing apples to pineapples.
The fetal mice were exposed to very high frequency sound waves for up to half of their gestational period. Umm, no wonder there was some effects seen.
One of my friends is going in to get an ultrasound next week. She's determined to get a 3D one, even though it'll cost her more. She's super excited to be able to see what her baby looks like.
