How does a 3D ultrasound work?

Our 3D baby scans obtain 3D images of your unborn baby, while our 4D scans allow you to see real-time footage of your baby’s movement. Growth measurements of the baby will be taken and compared to the usual expectations to determine their gestational age accurately.

We’ll also estimate the foetal weight at current gestation. The baby’s position will be identified, and we can confirm whether you’re having a boy or girl if you so wish.

Both 3D and 4D ultrasound scans require you to have a full bladder to perform the scan, along with the baby being in the correct position to get good images. If your baby is not in the correct place for whatever reason, we will ask you to go for a walk to try and turn the baby, or we will try different angles.

The primary purpose is to allow you to see your baby before it is born. A healthcare professional must check your baby for medical purposes; both intertwined create a helpful experience. Unlike your regular scans, which are black and white images, these will be live photographs.

Why Have A 3D Ultrasound?

Ultrasound imaging is an excellent way for you to find a bond with your baby, especially if you are the father of a family member; seeing the baby before the birth can be a huge step for parents to be, both 3D and 4D scans are perfect for the live motion window into the womb. Professional sonographers always perform the 3D scans we offer here at Ultrasound Plus, and you will always be in good hands. We will offer you a fetal well-being scan, a growth scan, and a check of your placenta, along with seeing your baby.

3D ultrasounds are an excellent way for a medical professional to see your baby and measure their growth; these scans are carried out for the following reasons;

A third-trimester fetal wellbeing scan and growth scan are not routinely offered within the NHS
We recommend a 3D scan and growth scan if there you are looking to see your baby in real time
3D scans offer extra reassurance to you about your pregnancy
You would like to see your baby and have a comprehensive and detailed ultrasound scan

What happens if my baby does not pose for the 3D/4D scan?

The baby needs to be in a favourable position for the face to be seen clearly. This may take up to 30 minutes. If the placenta is at the front of your womb (anterior), this can affect how your baby’s face can be seen. An increased maternal BMI can limit ultrasound scans.

We may ask you to take a short walk, a hot or cold drink or a snack to encourage your baby to move. If we cannot complete the scan on the day due to the baby’s position, we will invite you to return for another appointment free of charge.
