Many companies are showing support of our troops by providing free or discounted sonogram services to active-duty military personnel and their spouses. These programs are designed to offer moms-to-be the opportunity to share their pregnancies with their overseas spouses—thus building bonds and easing the feelings of isolation.
Our only caution is to remember that these ultra-sounds should not take the place of a competent doctor—women are advised to maintain regular check-ups with their doctors.
Small Wonders Imaging, LLC in Charleston, SC offers free 3-d ultrasounds to spouses of deployed servicemen. To learn more about the program, visit:

Pacific Coast Ultrasound offers military wives the chance to send a DVD of the ultrasound to their active-duty husbands, for free—when their insurance pays for the first ultrasound. Contact for more information, scroll to bottom of this page:

Tiny Images Ultrasounds offers a 15% discount for active military personnel. Their 4-D imaging program gives the clearest indication of baby. To learn more visit: http://www.tinyimagesultrasound.com/pricing.html
To locate more facilities that offer free ultrasounds to pregnant women of military personnel, contact your local hospital, your nearest free clinic, or your nearest pro-life center. If these establishments cannot offer advice, check with your local universities; sometimes medical students need practice patients.
