Practically since the start of the Internet, parents have been proudly sharing photos of their children with family and friends. And now with the advancements and growing popularity of keepsake ultrasound photos, expectant parents have a new way to share photos online. With 3-D and 4-D ultrasound photos now readily available from a variety of keepsake ultrasound photo centers, social networking sites like MySpace are seeing a big jump in the number of ultrasound photos being posted. Part of the popularity is due to the fact that many parents will post ultrasound photos as the pregnancy progresses, allowing friends and relatives to follow along no matter where they live.

Because of the widespread availability of used ultrasound equipment for entrepreneurs entering the keepsake ultrasound business, parents are finding that getting fetal portraits is cheaper than ever. Some keepsake ultrasound companies also offer the option of a DVD video. So whether it’s photos or videos, parents have plenty of options when it comes to showing off their baby.
