Hi I had my 4d/3d scan done last saturday, I was 24 weeks the shots are amazing, so far I've loaded 3 shots into gallery, it'll give you an idea of what a 24 week scan looks like. My sister in law had hers done at 27 weeks and her shots are the same, it depends mainly on the type of shots. I got told to book in later for good facial shots and earlier for good body shots. Hope this helps!
Best of Luck,

I had mine done at about 34wks. Was amazing, he had such a chubby face, and you could see his profile so clear!!! They tried to do some at my 20wk scan, but he was faceplanting my placenta!! Mine was free, not sure about on the coast? We have an x-ray centre that is all bulk billing. GL!!
They reckon betweeh 26 and 32 weeks is the best time. Bub is fully formed and is big enough to actually looks like a baby and after then theres not much room left so the picture doesn't come out as good, plus if you've got a prepared bub he/she might even be head down and the pic can be really hard to get.
I had mine at 20wks and got a cute photo but she looks very skinny, the lady said if i came back at 28-30 weeks she would be a fatter and still have enough room in my tummy to see most of her. The later you go the less you'll get to see. Good luck
around 32weeks cause they have more fat deposits on their faces and the pics turn out better. you can go to the website so+gi and there is heaps of info and pics on there. that is the u/sound place i got my DD scanned at, its in brissy at southbank but the info would still be the same for wherever you go. there are FAQ's etc. i cant remember the price, i think it was around 300 but got most of it back from medicare. had to have a referral from GP though. if you go just for getting the cool photos you gotta pay full price. (but most GPs will give you a referral for a health and well being scan anyway- mine did). actually they found a small hole in her heart at this scan which they didnt pick up at the other scans so it was good for us.
I had mine done at 30 weeks, I've put a couple in my gallery I think.
Showed his face really well but he kept his arm along one side of his face the whole time we were there, little bugger! But we still got a good look at his face & even his hair too!!
I suggest between 27-32 weeks so bubs has some fat deposits but not too cramped yet.
Wow! thanks everyone! I suppose I should look at a place somewhere to book soon then! Sounds like 3D/4D scans are very popular so i don't want to miss out....
I'm actually not sure if the 19week scan will be in 3D or not.... i just presumed it would be a regular scan? I think i'll ring them and ask..... i suppose some machines have the
3D aswell don't they? so they can switch over to 3D half way through the session??
I'll ring them today.
I'm thinking i'll book the scan for anywhere between 28-30 weeks.
