I'm skeptical because twice I got photos free and other times I had to pay $5 per print-out, and at one time pay $10 for a CD with the still-shots of the fetus. Is it actually legit like having your photo taken at Loblaw or Sears?
I had a difficult pregnancy so I had to go for almost weekly ultrasounds. Every so often, I would ask for a pic and had to pay $5 (this was at Mt Sinai Hospital). Because I was there so often, they would sometimes give me one for free but they made it clear that they were giving me a freebie. I asked my OB once about it and he told me that hospital funding is so low and the cost of supplies so high, that he wasn't surprised they were charging for it.
