It is now widely accepted that being able to
see an unborn child inside the womb is a valuable emotional and
psychological tool for a growing family. Both parents and siblings
react emotionally to seeing a moving image of their new family
member alive and inside the mother. This helps create bonds between
them long before birth, and adds to stronger bonds once the baby
arrives.
Our new site in St Pete is one of the locations
where Look Who’s Kickin’ offers this experience for expectant
mothers and their families. A 3D ultrasound will provide you with an
astonishingly detailed still image of your baby as it grows inside
you. You will then be able to take away the images to share with the
rest of the family and keep forever. With a 4D ultrasound you will
see a real-time moving image of your child, which you can take with
you on CD or DVD. These images are incredibly detailed and will
allow you to see all the visible features of your child before it’s
even born.
The procedure is much the same as the one you will
have had with your practitioner. They will have performed an anomaly
scan at 20 weeks to check for any problems and to ensure healthy
growth. You can then visit us between 24 and 32 weeks for an extra
scan. It doesn’t duplicate the medical ones, it concentrates on the
emotional side of pregnancy. It gives you and your family the
opportunity to meet the baby at the earliest time and prepare
yourselves emotional for the times ahead.
The ultrasound will
last about an hour where you will be able to see all the images we
do. If you’re having the 4D option, then we will take all the images
and edit them into a montage of the best bits and remove the other
stuff. What you will end up with is a CD or DVD of the highlights of
the scan and hopefully some amazing images to show the rest of your
family.
Then afterwards if you have a mind to, there is the
option to enjoy a relaxing mom’s only massage session with one of
our qualified masseuse. We have a range of massage therapies
specially designed for expectant mothers. From a simple shoulder or
leg massage to a full on ‘Mom-To-Be Therapeutic Massage’.
Enjoy your time with us and let us take care of you, and pamper you
to let you forget about being pregnant for a while. Relax for a bit
in our luxurious and calm surroundings without all the humdrum of a
busy home or demands on your time.
Our new St Pete center is
fully geared towards making your time with us as relaxing and
rewarding as possible. Why not come over and see us soon, and let us
take the weight off for you.
