When Should You Book Your 4D Ultrasound?
β¨ Start Earlier, Collect More Memories
Most of our favorite keepsake stories donβt start in the third trimester β they start around 12 weeks, with your very first ultrasound photos and a sneak peek at your babyβs earliest movements. Many families love coming back for a second or third session as the pregnancy progresses, each visit becoming its own little photo memory, before capturing the clearest 4D portrait between weeks 25 and 32. The earlier you start, the more of these moments you get to keep.
