Best Time for a 3D/4D/5D Scan in Kollam
The ideal window is 26 to 32 weeks (sweet spot: 28–30 weeks). At this stage, the baby has developed enough subcutaneous fat for rounded, soft facial features, yet is still small enough to fit well within the ultrasound frame with adequate amniotic fluid for a clear image.
What You Will See
- Detailed facial features — "who do they look like?"
- Tiny fingers and toes in remarkable clarity
- Real-time movements and stretches
- Expressions: yawning, sucking, smiling
Tips for the Best 5D Scan Images
- Stay well hydrated in the days before your scan — good amniotic fluid = clearer images
- Have a light sweet snack 30 minutes before the scan to encourage baby to be active
- Book in the optimal 28–30 week window for best facial fat development
- Your images and video clips are shared with you right after the scan — as per PC-PNDT regulations, accompanying persons wait outside the scan room
