48 hours is a LONG time! Even 24 hours is a pretty long time, especially when after all that you still have to push at the end!
I found out about the 3D ultrasounds from the Bounty Bag of sample goodies they give us here @ the hospital, i checked it out online thinking it was going to be extremely expensive only to get a pleasant surprise that it was affordable for us - luckily we're going to be in the city at the right time next week and i managed to get one of the last time slots this time around. We're very lucky and i am super excited to see our little baby

this time - it should be good for our little girl too, she might get some idea of whats going on when she sees her little brother or sister in Mummy's tummy for the first time :-)

Kasia's labour was very traumatic it ended with having to have to use forceps and if that didn't work after 2 tries it was going to be an emergency c-section. Luckily she came out with the second attempt of forceps.

The 4d scans are well worth it as we had them done with Ela it is such an amazing experience.

l was offered the 4d scan but l didnt take em up on the offer. l didnt think it wud be anything special. Am l right in thinking you have to pay for that? Is tha available on the NHSor do they refer you to a private practice for this?

I paid for our 4d scan. We went to a place in Reading that do 4d scans.
