I'll be 30 weeks by then.</p> <p>@Mrsjets: Love the foot picture!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-get-a-4dbonding-scan#post-822698 Fri, 31 May 2013 16:33:00 +0000 cavalierkcs 822698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsjets: wow, that's amazing!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-get-a-4dbonding-scan#post-822565 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:42:50 +0000 Mrsjets 822565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got it as a gift from my sisters - there were 12 people in my room during it! We went at 29 weeks and it really bonded DH and my family to the baby :) here are a couple pics - the second DS is playing with his foot. </p> [attach=2201/13/mnok7e.311x428.image.jpg] [attach=2201/13/mnok7g.348x433.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-get-a-4dbonding-scan#post-822549 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:35:38 +0000 jmarionsmith 822549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we had ours at 28 weeks. the place we went to recommended 26-32 weeks, i think. </p> <p>it worked well for us at 28 weeks, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-get-a-4dbonding-scan#post-822534 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:27:56 +0000 lawbee11 822534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to have one at 27 weeks and baby girl did not feel like having her picture taken, so we're going back in a week (I'll be 30 weeks) to try again. She still looked a little skinny at 27 weeks...I am hoping she plumps up by next week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-get-a-4dbonding-scan#post-822530 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:26:24 +0000 googly-eyes 822530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: Oh ok! It seems like other people go later than I did, wow. I remember others on my bbc birth club having the same problem as I did, but I also know someone who went within a day of me who was due a few days before me that got really great photos. I think I'd go around 28 weeks again, maybe 27. But then again I wasn't going for total accuracy..and I had another scan coming up at my doctor's office so I knew I'd get to see lo again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-get-a-4dbonding-scan#post-822523 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:24:43 +0000 kjpugs 822523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: that's where we're doing ours! We did our early gender u/s there so we get a discount for a 3d/4d one with DVD's for grandparents. They live out of state so we thought that would be nice. She recommended 30-32 weeks when we told her we were considering it :) It sure does get PACKED in there by 39!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-get-a-4dbonding-scan#post-822517 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:23:20 +0000 rachiecakes 822517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have one but was told the best time to get one is between 28 and 34 weeks, that's when they can get the best photos/video.</p> <p>@kjpugs: that sounds right! when I went in a 20 weeks (anatomy scan), they said he was too small and at 39 weeks (BPP) we couldn't see anything because it was pretty packed in there. I wanted to go to a freestanding ultrasound place but DH wouldn't let me. boo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-get-a-4dbonding-scan#post-822481 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:08:35 +0000 kjpugs 822481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard the ideal time frame for 4D is 30-32 weeks, we will be doing one then. If you want to surprise him think up something you might have to do (dinner with a relative, or a doctor's appt he would have to go to, etc) and "schedule" it with him so he is available! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-get-a-4dbonding-scan#post-822480 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:08:33 +0000 illumina 822480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: It's the same thing, they just call it that here for some reason! The time frame is 24-32wks and I was thinking about going around wk28, but maybe given what you've said I should go sooner? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-get-a-4dbonding-scan#post-822467 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:03:47 +0000 googly-eyes 822467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's a bonding scan?</p> <p>We had a 3d one (well 4d but I have no idea where the dvd went!) done, because we were able to get a discount. I don't know how accurate it really was, but it was fun. ETA ours was at 28+ weeks I think... somewhere right at the end of the "ideal" time frame listed...but she was pretty squished in there so I wish I had gone more in the middle of the ideal time frame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-get-a-4dbonding-scan#post-822465 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:03:10 +0000 regberadaisy 822465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to but DH thought it's creepy! Def past 30 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-get-a-4dbonding-scan#post-822463 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:02:12 +0000 illumina 822463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Which week did you have it done? </p> <p>I'm thinking of surprising DH with one for Father's Day, but the place I want to go doesn't do gift vouchers, I have to pre-book a date. We had a 4D preview at our 17wk gender reveal, but it wasn't great quality as she was so tiny. Just wondering what is the best time when she will look relatively like a newborn... </p>
