4D Scans

[NattyCraig]

Hello everyone,

I am currently 25+4 weeks pregnant.

I had my last scan at 20 weeks and I feel like I want to see baby again, even though I know he's ok in there :)

What do people think of 4D scans? Have you ever had one? Would you recommend it?

I've always said I wouldn't get one, as to me all the babies seem to look the same etc.

Can people let me know their thoughts... Or is it just a waste of money that could be better spent on other things?

We are going for one on Saturday so will let you know afterwards if that's any use! :)

I had a 4D scan at about 26/27 weeks I think it was. DH wanted it more than me, think it helped him realise that it really was happening! DD did look a bit weird in there - bit alien like and freaky - but we both thought it was worth it, quite amazing really that you could see her so clearly! She yawned most of the way through it . They are expensive, think ours was about £90 but got photos, DVD and CD of photos as well.

I'm 25+1 and were hoping to go around 28 weeks. DP saw photos of a 4D scan and then a picture of the baby when born and was so impressed so that's why we're going hopefully we'll get some good photos. Think we've seen them around £100 and get 4 4D photos and 2 normal then £10 extra for a DVD, I think baby brain is bad today

You get a good deal in England they are more expensive here but we are still going for it :) Unfortunately baby will be 30 weeks so not sure we will see as much but they had no appts sooner - clearly it's popular! :)

I had one at 28 weeks. It was fab! It cost about £135ish. We used Babybond and we got photos and DVD. I felt like nothing was too much trouble. They spent ages with us, was a complete contrast to NHS scan (which are obviously for medical reasons and so have a very different feel to them) I enjoyed the experience of seeing a scan as 'fun' rather than a worry ie growth scan, anomaly scan etc. would reccommend.
