4d scan after 31 weeks?

[Penstraze]

Has anyone had a 4d scan after 31 weeks? We weren't going to have one done because of the cost but MIL has found out about some where that does them not far from us, she saw an advert with the pics and seems really interested in having one but is it too late, on their website it says they will do them up til 38 weeks but I have read on a few websites they should be done before 30 weeks for best results?

We had ours at 30 weeks and were able to book the same day, think some advise before 32 weeks as after that baby is so squished and is harder to get a good view of babys face without a foot or hand in the way!!

We decided not to have a 4d scan done as want the surprise of seeing who she looks like when she comes out but I'm DESPERATE to have a normal scan done to make sure everything is ok and get a rough idea of her size when due but we're skint and DH said can't I just wait 6 weeks (No I can't ).

We had one at 28 weeks and it was fantastic. The pics were very clear. We were told that the best time is before 31 weeks. x

the place we had ours done on tuesday does them up until 32 weeks but if the place is advertising up to 38 weeks maybe you could ring them & see what sort of thing they offer i.e. what would they do if you couldnt get a clear pic? As for hands/feet in front of face... our little begger had its hand in front of its face for near enough the whole scan!! When it moved it away it smiled then put it back, like it was playing with us Even after a drink, sweets, chocolate & a walk... all it had done it replaced its hand with its elbow! Glad we went though as im in love with the pic of it smiling at us....

Well I rang them they think as Im just 31 weeks today it would be fine they have apparently had amazing results for women as late as 34 weeks but would want me to have it done ASAP (they had a space at 12.45 tomorrow when I rang!!) because if they couldn't get good pics they would ask me to come back but if baby was head engaged or something where by there would be no chance of getting good pics they would refund all but my £50 deposit. MIL has said we can use the £200 she is keeping at hers from the sale of a table belonging to her Mum which was ment to be for something for baby from her great Nan (who's no longer with us) we were going to use this on a cot bed when we will actually need one its so tempting to book scan but isn't really something for baby to have from her great nan then and we'd have to find money for cot bed when times comes

Its deffo worth the money and its something you can show bubs when he/she is older! I went with babybond and they advised me that the best time to scan is at 28 weeks and i had fab pics from this! However the do them upto 32 weeks and if they couldnt get a clear picture they would refund you the money!
I couldnt really afford the scan myself either but we had it done anyway lol
Here's a picture with baba's eyes open!! This was taken when i was 28+2 weeks

The place that did our 4d scan does them up to week 34. We got our scans at week 26 and the second one (due the projectile vomiting at the first one! ) was at week 29.
