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

[Shanti]

I'm having our 3D/4D scan this Saturday!! I'll be almost 29 weeks We already know our baby's gender and will be getting it confirmed to us again anyway.

We're really excited to be able to see our baby again and seeing as we haven't seen our baby in 3D, only 2D scans, it will be really great to experience this. And to get some great pics as we haven't had many photos of our baby from previous scans we've had.

Wanting to hear from those of you who DID have a 3D/4D scan in your 3rd trimester and did you feel it "spoilt" what your baby will look like? A few people have said to me that it will spoil it for you so that you will already know what your baby is going to look like when he/she comes out..... but I feel these comments are kinda negative and isn't the case.

I want to see our baby's face and I really don't believe it's going to be exactly the same as seeing our baby face-to-face at 40 weeks at the birth, do you?? It's going to be so overwhelming and exciting when our baby is born, I can't see how I'd feel like "yeah yeah already know what you look like" kinda thing lol
As I said, DH and I are both really excited about it and we feel it's a great opportunity to get some in-utero photos of our baby before he/she is born.

Interested in hearing your experiences and how you found it..... TIA

Just curious as to where you are getting it done and how much it costs?

I dotn think it will spoil it at all. I cant wait for you to post some pics when you get some!!

Uh noooo.... was still a surprise....

I can't believe people have said that to you.... ridiculous.

I had mine done at around 28.5 weeks. And all we thought was "geez she looks like her brother"..which we expected.

And she doesn't really look like her brother at all now.....

I had a 3D scan at 20 weeks, but the baby kept turning its face away and we couldn't get a good angle.

People keep asking me if I'm going to get another scan, but I thought the 20 week one was the only "routine" one they did.

Is it costing you much to get done?

We had a scan with DD at 35 weeks and at the time we didn't think she would come out looking exactly like that because scans always seem a little distorted..But when she did come out it really was a spitting image of her! But in no way did it spoil the surprise. It's very different when you actually meet them face to face.

Have fun!

I had one last time at around 32 weeks. He didn't look like that at birth so no surprise spoilt there. Although how can it? Seeing them in the flesh is so much better anyway, i dont think anyone would think it was spoilt. I'm having one this time too in around 4 weeks and can't wait!

After Caleb was born I thought he didn't look much like his 3D scan but when I looked at them again there was some resemblance there. It's not like looking at a perfect image though.
Will be interesting to see what this one looks like when she comes out! We think she looks like Angus in my ticker picture.

OUR SCAN WAS BRILLIANT!!!
Sooo glad we got it done!!

So worth the $165! We got a DVD (25mins) and a CD with about 100 photos on it, got to see our baby's face and soooooo cute!!! (of course, i can say that! hehe) was told bub looks alot like my husband! so he's walking around super proud that his child looks like him hehe also got told our baby has a fair bit of hair!!! cuuuute... must take after me as i have thick hair!!! the lady who did the scan was just great and loves doing what she does (its her business!)..... we can't wait to do this again for our 2nd bub and so on!! so worth it....

Was wonderful seeing our baby SMILE for the first time too!! and a few times we saw the eyes open!! amazing..... got the gender confirmed to us again and yep it's still the same!! phew!!

We can't wait to meet our little monkey even more now!!!! it's made us even more excited than we were before!!!!

Hi princess,

I can't PM you ? I think its because you haven't made enough posts yet..... i'm happy to give the details here anyway.

google "miracle me" and you will find their website. They are in Capalaba south of brissy. Highly recommend the place. Well worth the $$ spent.
They are the cheapest in Australia and have the best technology also.....
