When Should I Book?
Timing can affect image quality — here's our guidance
Best Results
28–36 weeks
At this stage, baby's facial features are usually more defined and we often get clearer 3D images.
Anterior Placenta
32+ weeks
An anterior placenta can reduce clear space in front of baby's face — waiting improves your chance of great images.
Twins
22–26 weeks
With twins, space becomes limited later — we offer a dedicated earlier window for the best results.
Not sure how many weeks you are? If you know your due date, we can help you choose the right appointment.
What We Check During Your Scan
We start with a quick 2D check before moving into 3D/4D:
Baby's Position
Checking how baby is lying for the best 3D views
Heartbeat Rate
Confirming baby's heartbeat is strong and healthy
Placenta & Fluid
Placenta position and amniotic fluid (as visible)
Growth Measurements
For Growth package: measurements to estimate baby's size
What to Expect on the Day

About Image Quality
3D/4D image quality depends on factors outside anyone's control, including baby's position and movement, placenta position (especially anterior placenta), how much amniotic fluid is in front of the face, and maternal body shape.
We can't guarantee specific "perfect face" images — but you will receive your full scan time and we'll always do our best to capture the clearest images possible.
Optional Gender Check
If you'd like, we can check gender during the scan if baby's position allows.
If you'd rather keep it a surprise, just tell us at the start!
Frequently Asked Questions
Note: Your sonographer can explain what you're seeing, but our 3D/4D scan is designed for bonding and does not replace your routine hospital scans (dating / anomaly).
