in 2nd Trimester

I am around 25/26 weeks this week and I have a 4D Ultrasound scheduled for 2 weeks 2 days from now (Dec. 30th) so I will be around 28/29 wks pregnant-Is this a good time to have them done? I know the Sonogram tech said that anything after 30 weeks the baby looks squished inside so I just wanted to see what you guys thought..

    I am having one tomorrow, and I am almost 24 weeks.  The place I am going to said come in anytime after 23 weeks. I also googled, "3D ultrasounds 24 weeks," to get an idea of what he would look like.

    My dr recommends 28-32 weeks and said for me to do it at 28 if I wanted one because he would be squished early since I'm small.  I had a free one at my 19 week a/s and didn't think he looked like an alien at all; his arms were super skinny though.

    We were told the best time is 28-32 weeks.  I had one done at 29-weeks.  Baby was head down and facing my spine, so we didn't get many good pictures, but when we could see her face they were good.  Make sure to drink a lot of water, if you're dehydrated the pictures won't come out as well.

    A friend who has an u/s business has on the website that they recommend 4D u/s between 27 and 34 weeks and recommend that if you are heavy (which it doesn't look like you are) that you should go between 31 and 34 weeks.

    With DD I had one at 24 weeks and it was amazing. It totally resembles her when she was a newborn. I think you will be good for one at 28/29 weeks. I am hoping to get one around 24 weeks again with this pregnancy.
