Finally seen my babies face! 4D scan 24 weeks

Every single scan we've been to (about 6) the baby was hiding his face. We finally got to see him today and he even gave us a little smile

Aww lovely! We had ours too late with the other 2 and had really awful photos (the guy gave us a reduced cost) so this time we've booked in for 27 weeks so are hoping for something clearer

Aw, congrats! I'm 26 weeks tomorrow and trying to get in to do one in the next two weeks. Supposedly the ideal time. I hope I can get pics as clear as yours!

I hope you both get good pictures! We got about 30 pictures and 6 videos, so worth it!

Aww that's so clear! Lovely pictures I'm not having one this time round... I wish I could afford to though!

Can I ask, why is earlier better? I was planning on having one at 30 weeks but maybe that will be too late!? When is the best time to have one?

I've heard that 27-32 weeks is the best time but that can slightly differ depending on where you get the information. I think it's because the baby has more fat after 27 weeks, but after 32 weeks you're less likely to get a good picture because there's not as much space in there. I could be wrong though, this is what I've been told/read.

We've had two 3d/4d scans so far, at about 19 weeks and 24 weeks. That's not usually recommended but I'm so glad we did!
