I'm Currently Feeling:  | Best time I've heard is 28-32 weeks, thats when they look the cutest. With all their baby fat and such. If you go past 32 weeks it makes it hard as there's not that much room left for them etc. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Taken from the website that I got my 4d scan from: When can I have a 3D/4D scan ?
We can perform this type of scan at anytime during your pregnancy, however we like to advise that the best time is between 20 weeks & 32 weeks gestation. 25 weeks being the optimum time. Why ?
We say this because during your pregnancy the fluid surrounding your baby will fluctuate. Between 22 to 28 weeks gestation is the period with the most fluid present. It is the presents of the fluid that propergates the ultrasound, therefore increasing our chance to produce clear, high quality images for you to keep. Not only this but the baby is small enough to maneuver & appears more animated during this time.
Hope thats helpful !! |
