When would be the best time to get a 3D/4D ultrasound, for "keepsake" purposes???

Question

I just a few days ago had my anatomy scan. I am having a little girl :) But I didn't get as many pictures as I would like. And I really would like to have way more for keepsake purposes. So I am looking into a Ultrasound Place near me that specializes on Ultrasounds of Babies. I am going to have to pay for the ultrasound package I want but its totally worth it, because I'll get a 30 minute dvd of the session set to music, cd of 15-30 pictures, as well as 6-8 colored pictures... and MANY other extras.

But now I am trying to figure out when would be the best time for something like this? When I am further along? Or now, at alittle over 21 weeks?

I know to some people this may seem silly... But I can't imagine having a DVD with 30 minutes of our daughter's every move... I can't imagine a better keepsake. And the CD of pictures is perfect because it will allow me to print as many pictures as I want.

Answer 1

It is wonderful I have a few 3d pics of my son & i think he is the most gorgeous creature in the world :) ...It is best to get that done @ about 25-28 weeks (so says my ob) You get a clear pic cos the babys not all squished up yet, and she is well developed enough to look like a little human  

Answer 2

I would wait a little bit longer, maybe around 28-30 weeks. Only because right now our babies(mine is due 12/13) are still a little boney looking because they haven't developed much body fat yet.  

Answer 3

I think I would wait just a little bit longer so she's bigger. But, no too long because she wouldn't have room to move too much.  Maybe 25-28 weeks would be good. I think this is a wonderful idea. Congratulations on your baby !

(my grandson was born on 12-16 !!!!)

Answer 4

As long as your at least 20 weeks the images should be of clearly formed baby that you can recognize so any time from here on out would be a good time.

Answer 5

the further you are along the better the pics will be. if you are going to have to pay for them, i would wait until your at least 30-35 weeks, the baby will be more developed and they can take better images. good luck with the baby.
