4d scans with identical twins? any good? worth the money?

[redshaw01]

i am 25+1 with id twins and impatient and wanting to know what they look like! i know they will avoid showing us more than we want to see, as we dont want to know the sex, but its £190 and i am just wondering, is it really worth it? anyone else had one done and what are the +/-???

Hello, I had one done but didntt pay for it. I was kept waiting or a scan appt for about 6 hours and when I finally got seen she flipped the switch and it went to 4d - I think to placate me!! To be honest, I don't think I would have paid for it - they looked a little bit freaky and, like you, we don't know the sex so they moved pretty quickly over that area.

I had severe TTTS and laser surgery a couple of weeks ago, and during the surgery I saw one of them on the tv screen - looked like a proper baby and would have been amazing if it hadn't of been such a scary time

Can't believe it's £190. Where are you? At my local hospital in Somerset it's £60 for 4d scans. We haven't had one as I have normal scans every fortnight anyway and dh finds them a bit freaky. But if you want one, shop around!

silverangel - love a nice freebie and agree they are a bit freaky, especially with two squished in there... but kind of feel intrigued and therefore will have to just accept they will look ugly!!! lol!!

princess, i am in solihull, the only place nearby that does them is a MUMS clinic which is private and apparently the price has come down from £280 last year!!! however i now feel robbed! i am planning a mini trip to somerset at the end of the month, wonder if i could swing by your hosp and get one done for £60??!!

I had one for my non-id twins and found it fascinating :-) think it was £150 or something: private company in Cambridge area ...

The £60 ones are at Yeovil Hospital, I think Musgrove in Taunton is around £90. Yeovil also does evening appointments so it allows dads to go along who can't make daytime appointments. Might be worth calling them.

Sorry, it's £65 not £60. This is what the website pdf says but you can call and ask more questions.

Baby Bonding scans cost £65 for a 20 minute scan. If it is possible to obtain a 4D photo during this time, we will certainly try. You will not be charged anything extra if we can get you some 4D photos.

ended up doing some googling and found a place called babybond with a clinic in edgbaston who will do a special package with b/w pics, colour pics, dvd and all that for £179... tomorrow!! eeek! apparently the cut off for really decent pics of id twins is around week 22 so i am glad we made the decision now at week 25+5 to get one done

shame we dont live down south!!
