When is the best time to get 3D Ultrasound

This is the common question among many pregnant mothers and wonder what is the best time to get 3D ultrasound!

After conducting more than 20000+ 3D ultrasound scans across all our locations, we have found out the following;

• earliest time to get 3D ultrasound – 20 weeks
• latest time to get 3D ultrasound – 32 weeks
• however, the best time to get 3D ultrasound done is around – 25 weeks to 29 weeks

Here’s more detailed breakdown:

3D ultrasound at 20 weeks: The fetus started forming facial features and now eye sockets, nose and lips started making visible shape. Sometimes the baby face appear to be alienated as there is no fat layer developed yet to be formed under the skin. 

3D ultrasound at 25 weeks: The face is fully developed, the baby may or may not appeared to be less chubby (but it’s gettin’ there). Therefore it’s considered to be a good overall time and best time to get 3D ultrasound; as the baby can move around in the belly freely and also the amniotic fluid is clearer during the end of 2nd trimester.

3D ultrasound at 32 weeks: The baby is more chubbier and appear to be round and cute on the screen, however, since the baby gains more weight during 3rd trimester, therefore, sometimes it could get difficult for baby to move around which could potentially be harder to capture good quality 3D images.
