Did you have a 3D/4D scan in 3rd trimester and did it spoil the surprise????

[Shanti]

Thanks girls!! DH and I are super excited about having it on Sat. We don't feel it's going to give away too much of what our baby looks like!! I suppose there will always be people saying negative things about anything huh?? maybe they could just keep it to themselves!

For those who asked, it's only $165 and having it done at a place in south brisbane. includes 20min DVD with music, photo album full of photos, and CD with photos on it to share with family etc. They are the cheapest in QLD I believe and have the best technology also. If anyone wants the website i'll PM you. Also our family can come in with us if they want but we aren't doing that as the gender is a secret from everyone, only we know what bub is. They also offer the screening live over the net for family/friends but we aren't doing that either... it's all part of it though...

We look forward to getting our baby's gender confirmed to us yet again, even though our last sonographer was 99% sure on what bub is and was very experienced.... it will be nice to have that reassurance once more. and to see that cute little face for the first time!!!!

Wow $165 is pretty good! Mines costing $260!

We had one with DD, and it was amazing. Just seeing who was actually growing inside of me! I framed the face shot and had it on display. Technology is amazing today!

And yes, Kayla did look like her scan pic. Same nose and same chubby cheeks, but I wasn't going for a suprise. Being able to hold my baby at the end was alot more important to me lol.

Enjoy every little bit of it

Exactly!! That's how I feel. The 'surprise' factor doesnt' really come into it does it.... because it doesn't matter when you see your baby's face, it's always a surprise whether it be in the scan or in real life what matters is holding bub in our arms at the end of it !
oooooh!! I'm even more excited now.....

Tegan - yep! It sure is a good price! Was $199 they brought out a special price. Enjoy your scan too!!

[Nadine]

So you should be excited. It is absolutely amazing and I guarentee you will have tears in your eyes (well if you are a sook like me haha).

I had some 3D done at my 32 & 34 week scans for medical reasons but they also looked at the face which they didn't need to do. At the 32 week one we couldn't see the face very well as there wasn't much fluid in front of the face but we saw a little better at the next one. I'd also had 3D & 4D done at 12 weeks, 16 weeks & 20 weeks.

Basically we could tell at the 12 week one that Brock was going to look like his dad. I was so shocked that this could be seen so early. The likeness was confirmed each time we saw him in 3D.

As for the "surprise factor" - I say don't worry about what others say. Even though I felt sure he'd look like that I was still shocked at how like his dad he was when they placed him in my arms. There are always unknowns like hair color & eye color so there will still be some surprises.

I have know regrets & like you I also knew the sex of the baby. Each to their own.

Um, NO! Just enjoy the scan Ren, it'll be great fun

TBH, although it was lovely to see our DS on the screen (3D) a few times during the 3rd tri, it was not a patch on seeing him for real. I guess you could sort of see the resemblance afterwards, but it doesn't really prepare you for exactly how your baby will look (and feel, in your arms).

We didn't find out the sex, and really didn't want to know, so we were more concerned that a sonographer would let it slip or something. But we had to have the scans for medical reasons, so just crossed our fingers no one would say anything, and enjoyed looking at our bub
