Pregnancy can be a magical time where you while away the hours thinking about your little bundle of joy. Is it a boy or girl? Whose nose will she have? What shaped face will he have?

Well, having a 3D or 4D scan doesn’t just allow you to see your baby’s features, it gives you the chance to have a sneak peek into their world and can enhance the bonding experience to a whole new level.

What are 3D and 4D scans?

While a 3D scan shows still pictures of your baby in three dimensions, 4D scanning, or high definition scanning, shows moving 3D images of your baby. The fourth dimension refers to the real-time movement that you’ll see – whether it’s your little one sucking their thumb, moving or even smiling.

Why choose to have a 3D or 4D scan?

When you have your NHS scans at 12 and 20 weeks, you may be disappointed with the image quality as these scans are designed to focus on the medical side of things, which of course is exactly what they intended for. It is important to attend these scans but,you may wish to supplement them with one or more private viewings of your little one.

A supplementary 3D and 4D scan will offer you more time to bond with your baby in a homelier environment, offering a different type of experience. Not only will you be able to see more of his or her features, such as skin, eyes and nose, you might even be able to spot them sticking out their tongue or yawning.
