What is 3D/4D Scan in pregnancy?

It is a wonderful bonding experience with your yet to be born baby as we take a peek into the baby’s world, see the face, hands, feet and sometimes, if lucky, see them yawn, wave or even smile.

How is 4D Scan performed?

4D scan is best performed between weeks 26-32 as the baby is of a good size and in the optimal position.

This is an external ultrasound examination, with an ultrasound probe gently gliding over your abdomen.

It is entirely safe and comfortable for both you and your baby.

What will the scan examine?

• Circumference of baby’s head
• Circumference of baby’s abdomen
• Length of baby’s thigh bone
• Amount of amniotic fluid around the baby
• Fetal position and movements in the womb
• Placental position and maturity

What are the preparations for this scan?

While there is no need for any special preparation, we do recommend consuming a healthy sugary snack 30 minutes before your appointment time. This helps us keep the baby active and ‘posing for pictures’ better
