What makes the perfect Christmas gift for your pregnant wife or girlfriend?
Of course, as the owner of First Peek Ultrasound, the leading 3D ultrasound center in the Chicago area, I am biased by the overwhelming satisfaction I see everyday when pregnant women see and bond with their baby. So I would say that a gift certificate for a 3D/4D ultrasound at your local 3D ultrasound studio would be the ideal gift for your pregnant wife or girlfriend this year for Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, or winter solstice.
Another great gift for a pregnant woman is to pamper her with a one-hour pregnancy massage. In case you are not certified yourself in massage therapy or prenatal massage, you can now get a prenatal massage at our pregnancy spa located within our studio.
Other great Christmas gifts for pregnant women:
Believe it or not, rocking chairs are not just for grandmothers. As pregnant women progress through their pregnancy, they have an increasing desire for a comfortable place to sit. And the rocking chair continues to be useful even after the baby is born as it makes a perfect place to breastfeed your baby. Where can you get a good rocking chair? From personal experience, the best way is to shop for a rocking chair off-line. Yes, actually go to a physical store, such as Baby’s R Us so she can try out different rocking chairs.
As her husband/boyfriend, you are in the unique position to know what would look good on her. While she may have already bought a lot of maternity clothes with one thing in mind–what will be the most comfortable, you can buy something specially catered to what would look great on her. This can include maternity jeans, maternity sleepwear, maternity lingerie, and other maternity dresses. Not all maternity clothes have to be large, pink, and baggy. A sleek fitted black dress that stretches as the belly grows makes for a great gift.
Give your pregnant loved one the gift she craves–sleep! The pregnancy pillow helps with back pain and helps her find the right position so she can sleep. Also, she will probably continue to use the pillow after the baby is born as a place for nursing, a rest area, and a play area for the newborn baby.
We want to hear from pregnant women who loved their gifts they received for the holidays on previous years. What worked and what didn’t? Any horrible gifts we should avoid?

So I discovered this new blog, called Babble.com, which is an amazing blog with many very interesting articles for pregnant women.
This article caught my eye. It’s about a woman who brings in a cardboard cutout of the dad into the delivery room with her when she gives birth to her baby. Her husband is deployed overseas, and I guess he was not allowed to have leave from his deployment to come home for the birth of his baby.
The article can be found here, and I have included it below.
A woman who went into labor without her husband in town decided he should be there anyway – so she brought a cardboard cutout of the baby daddy into the maternity ward with her.
Her son’s first pictures will include daddy – sort of.
Emily Marsh’s husband is a Marine serving overseas. Flat Darrell is his stand-in, originally sent her way as a joke during their engagement. The sort of tool used by many military families to help their kids bridge the gap while their real parent is gone, the life-size cutouts are also know as Flat Daddies.
But they usually spend time with little kids who are missing their parents. They’re not used to introduce a newborn to said parent.
Fortunately Emily Marsh is not crazy. Just a woman missing her husband who has a good sense of humor. Darrell will get to meet little Walter in June, she told the Charlotte Observer. Until then, he’ll have to make do with pictures – sort of like his son.
The original news story was first reported in the Charlotte Observer.
At First Peek Ultrasound, we have enough space in our ultrasound room to fit 10 to 12 people. We can also fit up to 10 to 12 cardboard cutouts of the baby’s dad and his entire military squad who may also want to attend the event of seeing your baby for the first time in 3D. Now, even his battle buddies in Iraq or Afghanistan will be able to virtually attend this beautiful and breathtaking event.
If your husband / fiance / partner / boyfriend is deployed overseas with the military, to Iraq, Afghanistan, or anywhere else, feel free to bring a cardboard cutout of your baby’s dad to our ultrasound studio. Not only will we not make fun of you, your cardboard cutout daddy will be able to “see” your baby live in 3D on our two large plasma television screens while standing comfortably near you. And you can get an extra CD of pictures to send to your loved one overseas for no extra charge.
At First Peek Ultrasound, we have had quite a few military moms come in, and a few of them have had the dads deployed overseas. A 3D ultrasound is an excellent way of helping Dad stay connected with the baby and the pregnancy process in spite of him being so far away. At First Peek Ultrasound, we can provide a DVD of the entire ultrasound session that you can send to Dad. Also, you can upload your 4D ultrasound movie onto Youtube, so he can see it from anywhere in the world.
Are you pregnant with a Dad who is deployed overseas? We would love to hear how a 3D ultrasound helped him connect and bond with you and your baby through your pregnancy.

This is the 3D ultrasound blog of the Chicagoland area, where you can find anything related to 3D ultrasounds and on pregnancy in general. Although this blog is owned and operated by First Peek Ultrasound, anyone can post to this blog, whether you are a customer of First Peek, you are a pregnant woman in the Chicago area, or even if you are an ob/gyn physician, midwife, or owner of another 3D ultrasound center. Keep in mind that the purpose of this blog is to serve the pregnant community of Chicago, not to advertise or discuss topics not relevant to pregnancy or 3D ultrasounds.
