    Another thing expectant parents can buy

    A 15 minute 3D/4D ultrasound with prints and DVD for $175 (or $85 using the LivingSocial deal that arrived today).

    I'd never heard of that, and think of ultrasound as a medical inquiry, rather than a sentimental biographical document for baby.

    So is this a trend, or only something that someone hopes will be a profitable trend?

    This has been going on for quite some time. People are happily paying hundreds for these ultrasounds to be done so they can see their babies.

    Personally, I think it is insane. Although to the best of our knowledge, ultrasounds are harmless, that's still no reason to abuse them and do them just for kicks.
