4d scan this week. advise needed.

[vegas]

Hi guys really exited for my 4d scan this week just wondered if anyone has any advise on what to do before hand to get the best pics. Any drinks/ food? Thanks

Itll be down to luck of how theyre positioned
Don't want them moving too fast cos the image return rate while it computes the signals... If they move too much it looks like theyve melted a bit lol

I would definitely recommend to have something sweet about 10 min before you go in. You want the baby to be awake, that's for sure. And the little one doesn't have that much space in there to jump about so it shouldn't affect the picture, besides they have a way of catching images so that they are clear. Good luck x

Yeah I recommend a full fat coke and a choc bar half an hour or so before appointment to get them moving, mine slept all the way through even with coke and I felt a little disappointed x

In my last pregnancy my daughter wouldn't move. They sent me into the ship for fizzy drinks and chocolate. She also made me do star jumps xx

The poking on my belly with the probe was enough to get him stretching for me
I was 27 weeks so he still had loads of room to move yet x

How many weeks are you? Id definately advise you to eat and drink something before hand. I did and got amazing pictures at 24 weeks. My SIL got hers at 27weeks but didnt eat or drink anything and her scan pics were really unclear. Id of been really disappointed if i got hers. My baby wasnt overly active but she did give us a wee bit of a show. Even now shes really quiet during the day and parties all night lol!! They can always tell you to empty your bladder if its too full. Will you be finding out the gender if you dont know already. Or are you staying team yellow? Xx

I'm nearly 29 weeks. Scan didn't go as hoped. He really didn't like getting his photo taken ha ha. Had his cord right in front of his face so was distorting all the images. No amount of prodding jumping or squats would make him move. Little stubborn thing. So I've gotta sort out a re scan. We did get a few pics but they weren't the best. It was great though getting little glimpses of his face

Aw sorry it wasnt a good as youd hoped. At least you get to book a re scan. Fx it goes better next time round! Xx
