3d scan.. any tips?

[firstpregnancy2014]

got my 3d scan booked this weekend !
Will be 28+2.. does anyone know if this is a good time to have it? id love to see some pictures of scans around this time!
Also any tips on getting baby into a good viewing position? baby is breech at the moment not sure if that will contribute !

Drink as much as you can beforehand as it gives a clearer picture.

Consume something sugary to wake baby up, it is amazing to see them wriggling, our DS was sucking his toes.

The cord was over my baby's face quite a lot of the time which distorted the picture so don't go in with 100% expectation that it will be perfect (just being honest).

I had mine at 34 weeks so you will most likely get a better view as our baby didn't fit on the screen easily.

My scan with ds1 I had around 26 weeks, was really nice.

With this pregnancy my little one didn't want to show he's face at 28 weeks, ended up going back at 30 weeks and got some beautiful pics I didn't do anything different ate some choclate and had sugary drink hope it goes well xx

It's about the perfect time I think. I've had 2. My 22 week one is stunning but at 32 weeks she looks like a different baby and the image was blurred. So I was told the optimum time is between those weeks. On my last one she has a distorted face, sonographer was having to press hard and it was making me feel queasy so needed to be in a more comfortable position and stay as still as possible.

I had 2, one at 17 and one at 30ish weeks. Both were amazing! Enjoy it!

Drink some fat coke or lucozade and have a mars bar 15 mins before you go in to wake baby up! The lady scanning me had me running well,waddling up and and down stairs and doing star jumps to wake baby up
