Hello ladies,

I am booked in to have my 21 week scan in mid Jan at AH. I was just wondering, is this a 3D scan (or should that be 4D???). It would be great to have one of those fancy scans plus a dvd so we can show our families back home. Will this scan be one of those, or not? If not where can I have one done?
Thanks!

It is just a turn of the switch at AH to get the 4D scan, 21 weeks might be too early to get a decent picture but it wouldn't hurt to ask the technician to try, it is at their discretion, I didn't find this out until a couple weeks ago for my 33 week scan and my little girl refused to let us see her face but we are 100% sure we are having a girl, once she is born we need to work on smiling for the camera and keeping her legs closed :-)

Wow how amazing that your little girl actually looks like she did on the scan! I will check out Nine clinic, thanks for the tip! I have found the scans to be a little sensitive anyway, not painful as such but a lot more pushing and pressing then I expected.

Thanks Maxmistry, good to know they do have the facility to do a bit of 3D as well. Apart from wanting to se our little bundle of joy again we are both really keen to find out the gender. At my last scan the baby was unwilling to reveal all so we still have no idea. I will contact the fetal medical clinic and see how much it will cost as I very much doubt our insurance will cover it... I hope you get to see your little one before your 32 week scan, even if it is just for a moment. It such a great thing to be able to see them on the little screen!

Hi muurtje-hope ur keeping well:) I had my 20wk scan at American hospital a few wks ago and though baby was big enough and I'd drank enough water etc the baby was too active and then hid behind belly button etc. so officially it's a 2D scan, but at radiologists discretion (she was so lovely!) then did try to get a 3D image but it didn't work out so they said they'd try again at 32wk scan. Think you can go to fetal medical clinic and pay for 3d/4d scan who also give you a DVD etc. Good luck...hope baby doesn't get mischievous like our cheeky monster!;) Max
