4D scan before 30 weeks

**Antheia** · November 11th, 2008, 02:20 PM

I was going to have my 4D scan at 30 weeks but i really can't wait that long to determine the gender 100%. Does bub have enough fat on them to get good face pics at around 28 weeks?

We had a 4d done at 28 weeks for Kanes clefting......

And we seen EVERYTHING!!! It showed us exactly how Kane looked, all the details.....

Where i go they asked me to wait until 33 weeks due to my 'maternal features' ie FAT bum!

By generally they like to wait until 28-30 weeks for best pics!

Early View suggests no earlier than 28 weeks for best results. I had ours at 29 weeks and they were fantastic. My little man has the chubbiest cheeks already, oh and the cutest nose and lips. I am in LOVE!

Hi there,

We had a 34 week scan yesterday for gestational diabetes (to make sure Baby is not too enormous) and when my lovely scanning lady flicked over to 3d/ 4d, baby had it's plump little hand covering it's face, and wouldn't move it, even with some serious prodding, so we missed out again! Last time (20 weeks) it was facing into the placenta, and wouldn't move. I have one very shy baby!

Hope you have a better experience!
