I scheduled mine that way on purpose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poll-3d4d-ultrasound-gd-test-on-same-day#post-71276 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:47:36 +0000 Mrsbells 71276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think it would be a good thing to have the baby active during the ultrasound, unless you were trying to get a still picture? But if its a a 4D then you will get a recording of it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poll-3d4d-ultrasound-gd-test-on-same-day#post-71267 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:40:59 +0000 tequiero21 71267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i voted yes because i would hate to make another trip to the doctors - only because it takes 20-30 minutes to get there. but i don't think it would really matter? unfortunately, i had it at different places, so i wouldn't be able to anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poll-3d4d-ultrasound-gd-test-on-same-day#post-71248 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:28:49 +0000 jennylynn 71248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always liked the u/s where she was more active the best. The tech commented on how active she was at each u/s we had (the last one was at 20 weeks), but she never had any problems seeing what she needed to see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poll-3d4d-ultrasound-gd-test-on-same-day#post-71103 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:11:02 +0000 mediagirl 71103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a question for you all. Would you get your 3d/4d ultrasound on the same day as your initial gestational diabetes test? I was scheduled for both in the same appointment and started wondering if that is the smartest idea. All that sugar may make the baby pretty active - would that affect how well our ultrasound goes?</p> <p>I don't want to pay for it if she's going to be putting up a fuss and flipping and flopping and not allowing us to really see her! </p>
