When to book extra scan in 3rd trimester?

I'm currently almost 28 weeks and considering booking a private ultrasound for my third trimester (for reassurance only, I have no particular risk factors). My bump measured around 80th centile at my 25w midwife appointment, myself and husband are both average height but I know bump measuring involves a margin of error.
We can only afford 1 extra scan between now and due date.
My question is, is there an optimum gestation for a growth scan? What gestation would you pick and why? Or should I wait and get a presentation scan at 36w instead?
Interested to hear your thoughts!

Does anyone have any advice?

I wouldn't bother personally if there are any issues your midwife will request a growth scan anyway.

As above. They're too big for cute pictures and if there's any issues you'll be refered for a growth scan (seems most people get refered at least once in my area but obviously not guaranteed).
