Announcing your pregnancy is a moment you’ll never forget, and using a 3D or 4D ultrasound adds an extra layer of emotion and excitement to the big reveal. At Belly Vue Center, we specialize in making those early bonding moments meaningful with our mobile ultrasound services and keepsakes. Here are five creative ways to announce your pregnancy using ultrasound that will make your loved ones feel part of this special journey.
Ultrasound Reveal Heartbeat Stuffed Animal
Imagine sharing your baby news with a keepsake that lets loved ones hold a piece of this beautiful moment. One popular way to do this is with our heartbeat stuffed animals. During your ultrasound, we record your baby’s heartbeat and place it inside a cuddly stuffed animal of your choice. This little treasure is perfect for gifting to future grandparents, siblings, or close friends. Along with a printed ultrasound photo, it’s a heartfelt way to introduce the new family member!
Gender Reveal and Ultrasound Combo
Why not combine your pregnancy announcement with a gender reveal using your ultrasound images? If you’re planning to find out the gender early, you can incorporate 3D/4D images into the reveal. Wrap a framed 3D ultrasound photo with a blue or pink ribbon, or have a small gathering where you reveal the gender alongside a beautiful 3D ultrasound image. It’s a memorable way to share both the big news and your baby’s first “photo” in one meaningful moment.
Virtual Announcement with Ultrasound Images
If some of your loved ones are far away, consider using our live-streaming ultrasound option or digital photos to make a virtual announcement. You can gather friends and family on a video call to share your 3D/4D ultrasound in real-time, allowing everyone to see the little one and experience the joy with you. It’s a great way to connect with those who can’t be there in person and still make the announcement feel intimate and special.
Creative Ultrasound Photo Ideas
For a timeless pregnancy announcement, you can use your ultrasound images in fun, creative ways. Frame a 3D/4D ultrasound photo and place it in a setting that’s meaningful to you, like in front of a cozy fireplace or next to a calendar marking the due date. If it’s around the holidays, you can include the photo in a holiday card to surprise loved ones. Many parents also use printed ultrasound images in announcement photoshoots, capturing the excitement of the journey ahead.
Announcing with Keepsake Gifts
For a holiday announcement, place a small printed ultrasound image in a clear ornament, fill it with blue or pink confetti, and present it to loved ones as a festive reveal. Perfect for December announcements! You could also send a small puzzle featuring an ultrasound photo that could include a message like, "We're Expecting," “It’s a Boy!” or “It’s a Girl!” Friends and family can put the puzzle together to reveal the surprise. Another keepsake gift option would be to send or hand out scratch-off cards that reveal the baby’s gender. The front of the card can feature a 2D ultrasound image, and when scratched, it reveals “It’s a Boy!” or “It’s a Girl!”
Your pregnancy announcement is one of the most exciting parts of the journey, and at Belly Vue Center, we’re here to help you make it as unique and memorable as possible. With our mobile ultrasound services and keepsake options, we make it easy for you to connect with your baby and share the joy with those you love.
