1. between 28 weeks and 35
2. I Had 3-D ultrasounds at 16 weeks 25 weeks 32 weeks and 38 weeks they were all great. We found out we were having a girl at the 16 week one.
3. Me too! I'm 22 weeks and I asked this question before. Alot of people said around 28-30 weeks is best!
4. I asked my doctor about getting one and she said I should get it done at 28 weeks becuase that is when the baby starts to get the baby fat and looks more like a real baby. Becuase of that I am waiting to get it done then.
5. I had my 3d ultrasound when i was 26 weeks. it was fantastic, i saw him blink for the first time, i saw him cuddle into my womb, everything was really clear. If i was to do it again i would perhaps wait till i was 28 weeks just so the baby is that little bit more matured and i imagine the experience would be even better!
6. I had one done I was 20 weeks but my insurance covered it. My u/s tech just switched over and gave me some free pix. It was cool to see how much my son had developed from a "dot" LOL, but if you are paying for it, I recommend you wait until 27-32 weeks. Thats also how far most of the places that do them say you should be along so that you can get the best results. Your baby is not THAT develpoed at 20 weeks and they still have a lot more to accomplish before they are ready to come out. He looked "normal" just skinny because they haven't develped their fat yet. I saw his mouth open & close, his little nose, eyes, hands, ect. Anyway, it is very cool, but not worth the money that soon. If you are paying wait a few more weeks. Good luck.
7. my drs office wouldnt do them until 27-28 wks and i was so excited i couldnt wait. i know it works out for some people but when it finally came time to get mine done, my baby wouldnt move his head away from the uterus wall and we couldnt really see him at all. i went back a week later and the same thing. i gave up
