Our 4D Experience's
A 4D scan is one of the most exciting milestones of your pregnancy journey, giving you the opportunity to see your baby in incredible detail before they arrive.
Using our brand-new, state-of-the-art 4D ultrasound technology, specially designed to produce exceptional image quality, we're committed to making your experience as memorable as possible.
Take a look below to see what you can expect during your 4D scan experience.
When Is the Ideal Time for a 4D Scan?
The ideal time for a 4D scan is between 26 and 32 weeks of pregnancy, when your baby has developed enough features while still having plenty of room to move. However, it's often possible to capture beautiful 4D images right up to 36 weeks.
If you have an anterior placenta, we recommend attending before 30 weeks for the best opportunity to achieve high-quality images.
For the best possible 4D experience, we also recommend arriving with a full bladder, as this can help improve image quality.
Our 4D Experience Packages
The Basic 4D Experience
With this package, the majority of your appointment will be dedicated to capturing beautiful 4D images of your baby.
If your baby isn't in the ideal position, we may ask you to turn onto your side or take a short walk to encourage them to move. Even if your baby is feeling shy, we'll always do our best to capture as many lovely features as possible.
This package includes enough scan time to obtain approximately 8–10 supporting images. These may include 2D as well as 4D.
For the best chance of achieving clear images, particularly if your baby's head is positioned low in your pelvis, please attend your appointment with a full bladder. As scan time is limited, we won't be able to pause the appointment to allow time for your bladder to fill, so it is your responsibility to arrive prepared. Below are images that you should expect to achieve during this scan package.

Premium 4D Experience
This is the ultimate 4D scanning experience, giving you double the scan time for even more opportunities to capture beautiful memories of your baby.
With the additional scan time, we can usually achieve a greater number of high-quality 4D images, giving your baby more time to move into the perfect position and allowing us to capture the best possible views.
During your appointment, we will also take a selection of measurements to provide you with an estimated fetal weight.
As an added bonus, this package also includes mini video clips of your scan, so you can relax and enjoy the experience without worrying about recording it on your own device. You'll leave with special moments already captured for you to cherish and share with family and friends.
