My experience with Look At Baby was terrible. I came to get an ultrasound so my husband and I could see our baby. When the ultrasound started, I was immediately interrogated about how many weeks I was. I thought I was 11 weeks but according to the ultrasound tech, she said I was only 4 weeks. She then proceeded to tell me that I had a "bad pregnancy". Even though I signed paperwork that said I would not be diagnosed, the ultrasound tech decided to diagnose me with a blighted ovum, told me the baby did not have a heartbeat and was never a baby, and then said I just needed to get a D&C.
What really made the experience worse though was the fact that after she told me my baby was never a baby, she decided to ignore my current grief and tried to get some business from my pregnant sister-in-law by offering a half-off ultrasound to her. We immediately left because we were offended by the ultrasound tech's insensitivity.
After rushing to the ER, we discovered that our baby was fine after all. The baby happened to be almost 7 weeks old and had a very strong heartbeat. Look At Baby caused our little family lots of grief and unnecessary medical bills. What should have been a very happy experience turned into a nightmare. Thankfully everything turned out fine in the end, but I hope that no one ever has to go through the same experience that we did. Look At Baby is a very unprofessional company and they need to learn how to actually use an ultrasound machine before helping any other expectant mothers.
