    4d Scan. When did you have yours?

    DH and I just decided tonight that we definitely want to have a 4D scan done for this pregnancy. Just wondering how many weeks you were when you had yours, and if you were happy with it? I really want to go in 2 weeks so that my Mum can come as well. That will make me 29.5 weeks. I called the imaging place and they said I would be best to go next week in case they don't get a good view and I need to re-book. Will one week make that much difference?
    Another imaging place says up to 33weeks is fine, but they are double the price. So, I guess I am wondering more for those who had the scans around the 30w mark, were you happy with the result?

    i had mine done at 28.5 weeks and it was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!

    see if u have it too late some bubs like to engage early and u dont get good pics. 29.5 weeks would be a great time to have it done! 28 weeks is even better

    we were told best images come in between 26 and 29 weeks - and they won't book outside the window at the local place.... we've got ours booked for just shy of 28 weeks...

    We got ours done at 29 weeks, I had a lot of excess amniotic fluid, and we got some brilliant shots, here is a link:

    3D Scan at 29 weeks

    But my OB recommended if you are a smaller person you tend to get better shots if it done earlier before 30 weeks and if you are a larger person then do it a bit later, but the further on you are then less room and the more squished

    We got ours done at 29wks & 5 days but unfortunately Cookie was already starting engage so we didn't get any great shots of her, but we did get some good shots & you can see how much she looks like her big sister

    I was told 27-29wks is the best time to get the ultrasound done
