[aflight84]

ahh wicked! you must be so excited!

 

[mandylou]

hehe yeah, gonna find out the sex 2

 

[Erised]

Wow, so many 3D scans booked! Don't leave it too late though ladies, most places recommend to get it before 34 or 36 (depends where you go) weeks as the baby will be too big by then + might have their head engaged already so they can't get proper images. Best to go a little earlier so if for some reason they're not happy with the results there's still time to give you a rescan a week later =)

... I've got mine in 90 mins!!! =D

 

[aflight84]

oh you don't know? that's even more exciting then! have you thought of any names yet?

we dont get them here- well we do but i think its harder to book them i never heard of u just having one for "fun"- I spose you could though. Maybe- he's wishing lol.They do it at the radiology place I go to they take a couple of the face with 3d as part of their normal scan. I saw my LO at 19 weeks so that was enough to give me a wee sneeky peek. I do have a nother scan at 36 weeks though to check the placenta position so we will see if her heads still visible lol. I spose by that stage though theres really not that long to wait to see LO anyways! x

Over here you tend to have a scan at 12 weeks and at 20 weeks in hospital through the NHS. They will be used for medical check ups, make sure the baby is growing properly etc. Non of them are in 3D, 2D only. I personally had one at 7 weeks as well to see if our little one was viable as I had some trouble conceiving.

You can then choose to book private 3D scans as well, not done in hospital but private clinics. They can be for gender purposes, reassurance scans or just for 'fun'. Most of them are a combo of 2D and 3D and will give you about 4 pictures to take home.

I had mine today ... it didn't work well. Little girl isn't playing along at all, at first she was facing sideways so we couldn't get a clear view of her face. In fact, all we could see was half a face with a whole lot of shadow as she had her hand on her face and we had to 'zoom through' it. The lady asked me to go have a cold drink, walk around and we'd try again. No luck either ... she moved alright. She went face down so all we could see was the back of her head and her spine.

The lady felt guilty and did some measurements for us instead (we had asked for them but she said they don't do them unless they're worried about the size), our little girl is measuring spot on and weighs approx. 2 pounds and 6 ounces =D

We've got a free re-scan booked for next Friday, hopefully she'll play along then as it will be our last chance before we move to Holland.

Erised your little princess is sooo camera shy! I do hope you get some good pictures at your next appointment though! I really am worried about my pics since I'm definitely a plus size mommy. I just hope my belly fat doesn't get in the way, which is why we are waiting until 30 weeks to do the 3d u/s.

 

[julchen_79]

Hi ladies! How is everyone doing...?? We are going to have our 3D Ultrasound on Saturday! It is my OH birthday the next day so I figured it might be a nice present. I have also noticed that the LO has hiccups quite often...What a strange feeling!?

Are you guys getting a lot more tired yet? I do...still need to adjust to the new boundaries of my body.

Im exactly the same! wondering wether to pay the money for one or just wait the extra 10 weeks to see what she looks like lol. Im a cuddly girl too, so dont know how clear the photos would be..xx

 

[Erised]

I've got my retry again on Friday, seriously hoping she'll play along. If so I should have the 'plus sized' girls some photos to show for comparing and making up your own mind. I'm not small either, 20/22 pants before pregnancy. At 20 weeks I might not have had the best of results, but definitely seen enough for me to have been thrilled for ages 'knowing' what our girl looked like. Hopefully it will be clearer this time around, though with a placenta on the front wall getting in the way as well I'm not -too- hopeful to be honest.

For me however, it's definitely worth the money to try anyway. I don't know why, I just can't imagine actually having a daughter around yet. So these scans just make it feel more real to me, plus I really really want some good 3D face shots to put on the wall above her crib.

I've heard loads of ladies mention these 'hiccups' now, what do they feel like?

I bet her little girl is going to be the complete opposite when she's born and an absolute star in front of the camera!

 

[blondeNklutzi]

hive- probably!

Erised-the hiccups just feel like a rythmic motion. Recently for me, basically my whole tummy jolts at regular intervals for a while then calms down.

 

[Erised]

Don't think I've had them just yet in that case, or perhaps it's because of the placenta being up front that I can't feel them. I love watching my belly jump in the evenings though

DH laughed at me the other night, I was resting my hands on my stomach while laying down & watching tv. I'm used to her kicking and just feeling some movement, but she did this slow turn right underneath my hand. Sort of felt like moving/scraping a knuckle along the inside of my stomach for a couple of inches... made me jump out of my skin! No idea why, I just wasn't expecting it at all. Took while to put my hands back on my stomach again

 

[MiissMuffet]

double digits yayyy!!! xx

I have had this too a lot lately. Like to describe it to my OH as if the baby is swimming really close to the surface. I wonder what it is that we feel?!? Wish I knew...think I can tell whether it is his back/butt or leg/arm but maybe I am just imagining things.

Can't wait for Saturday for our 3D Ultrasound...just praying one of our cars will start..we are expecting an overnight low of -33...brrr...

I had a nice big round baby part stick out the other day, so I knew it had to be the head or the butt. So, I grabbed my doppler and listened for the heartbeat. It'd either be by the bump (head) or down low (butt) -- It was the kids butt!
