Weird 4D picture

rmbarry1

On Monday we had a growth scan on the twins and she quickly switched over to the 4D imaging. She claims she couldn't get a very good unobstructed view of their faces so she took what she could. The babies look so weird and frankly a little scary. They almost look skeletal. Should I be worried that something is abnormal or do some images just look that way??

Monday I was 30w1d.

The u/s tech at my MFM said its really hard to get a good shot of them at this stage because they are so close together and don't have a lot of room. This was last week at 29w1d.

It's normal. I started closing my eyes when the 3D/4D images were on the screen b/c I thought my kids looked like a cross between Chucky and Skeletor.

3D/4D u/s pics are notoriously weird and sometimes creepy looking.  I had a few done around 27-28 weeks.  If your Dr. isn't concerned, don't be!

At 30 weeks, your babies are really just starting to put on some fat. So they are indeed still pretty skeletal!

It just seemed like the noses were chopped off, like you could see the nasal cavity and the eyes seemed huge. I know I shouldn't freak out but I can't help but wonder....

That's perfectly normal to see cross sections, especially in 3D/4D scans. Once I hit 3rd trimester my tech only tried on two out of my weekly u/s because they were so crowded and obscured by each other.
