3d sono question..

I wanted to get 3d sonos done but have been told by 2 places they won't do them past 32 weeks or they will do them but they won't be good pictures.
Has anyone had them done after 32wks, I really want to get them done but also don't want to waste my money if I can't get a good picture

We did ours at 28w, but the reason they don't usually do them after 32w is because baby is getting pretty squished in there and you probably won't get good pictures. We got some 3D pictures at 34w & 36w and they're not as cute. DD has a piggy nose in some of them and the others look like if you smoosh your face up to a window (not sure if that makes sense).

We had 3D ultrasound done at 27 or28 weeks and got good pictures.
Had a growth ultrasound a couple weeks ago at 34 weeks, the tech flipped it to 3D ultrasound at the end, definitely not as good of a picture as it was earlier.

I don't understand.  The places are pretty much telling you the pictures won't be good if they do them past 32 weeks, which indicates they would indeed be a waste of money.

With my daughter, I had 2 - the one at 30 weeks was perfect, one at 32 weeks was a bust.

This time around, we went in at 29 weeks, and it didn't work out. 

I don't have a lot of amniotic fluid, and I tend to be on the smaller side, which means baby is more crammed and it's hard to get an image, so that's the general reason, I'm not sure whether 32 weeks is a no in a 'normal' pregnancy, but it could result in being a waste of money.

As fun as it is to have a glimpse of baby's face, you'll be meeting your LO in person so soon, I'd just save the money and put it towards something else honestly.
