3D - 2

What's the best week to get the 4d ultrasound?

My sister gave me a hundred bucks so she could see her niece. I'm 24 weeks now. When would be the best time to do the 4-d and get some great pics?

1. i was told around 28 to 29 weeks
2. I would say as hard as it is, but wait until your around 32 wks
3. Id say 28-30weeks you would get the best pictures. I was going to go when iw as 32 weeks and they said the pics wont be good so not to bother and the ideal time is 28weeks-30weeks.
4. I did some research and I found that the best pictures are between 27 and 32 weeks. They say at 27 weeks, the baby has enough fat to get a good picture of features, but still has room to move around but after 32 weeks there is more fat on the baby which makes it more difficult to get good pictures, and the room for movement is limited. Hope this helps. Good luck.
5. wait a little longer, the farther you are the better/clearer the pictures, and then you can see the little chubby face and everything!
6. I was told around 26 - 30 weeks, I got mine done when I was 29 weeks, and it was worth every buck...tho my lil pwincess was sleepy and kept hiding her face with her lil hands...awwwwwwww..........
7. 3D ultrasound places recommend between 28 and 31 weeks, although I'd go closer to 28 weeks. We went at 31 1/2 weeks with my daughter and really struggled to see her, we had to go back again. This time, we're booked at 28 1/2 weeks, hoping to have a more cooperative baby and get it done in one shot.
8. Between 28 and 32 weeks. The longer you wait in that timeframe, the better the picture quality will be, but the longer you wait, the bigger the baby will be, so you will only be able to have sectional shots instead of a whole body shot. :-)
9. I checked with our local Geddes Keepsake ultrasound provider. She said that the best pictures are taken at 28 weeks. Before that the baby doesn't fill out enough to take a good picture, and after 32 weeks there isn't enough room to move around and get good pictures. The images are great - good luck!!
