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
Damn you Ren now you make me want one!!! might have to run it past hubby tonight but dont think he needs much persuasion,he likes looking at his unborn son every opportunity he can get,i did want a surprise but now am not so sure
HUbby and I got our 3D / 4D scan done not that long ago. we were 28 weeks and the experience you go through just seeing a real life version of your baby is the best. I wish I have a perminant one in my house so I could see him all the time and watch him grow. We paid $225 for ours and got a DVD and CD of all the images. Teh DVD the used a song of our choice to put to it. The cd was just of all the 3D / 4D images, plus we got a little booklet of the fave picks for us to keep and 4 little cards with a nice pick of Zarius!!
It is so worth doing it!! I have some images in the member gallery of Zarius. I would like to get another one before he comes out but I dont think I have much chance of that lol
