4D ultrasound explained
At UBM Scans, we understand the profound emotions and excitement accompanying this journey. That’s why we offer 4D ultrasounds – to bring you closer to the little miracle developing every day in your womb. With our state-of-the-art technology and a compassionate, experienced team, we invite you to witness the dynamic world of your unborn baby.
What is a 4D Ultrasound?
A 4D ultrasound is an advanced procedure that provides real-time video of your baby in the womb. Unlike static 3D images, 4D scans show movement, allowing you to see your baby’s actions and expressions as they happen.
Comparing the three
What’s the Difference Between 2D, 3D, 4D Ultrasound?
2D ultrasound
2D ultrasonic sound waves, the most common type used in routine prenatal care, provide a basic two-dimensional, black and white image. These are primarily used for medical assessments, including checking the baby’s growth, assessing the placenta’s position, and estimating the due date.
3D ultrasound
3D ultrasounds provide a more detailed view. Unlike 2D scans, 3D ultrasounds create three-dimensional images, offering a clearer picture of the baby’s physical features, which can be especially heartwarming for expectant parents. The 3D images can also be useful in identifying certain anatomical conditions. At UBM Scans, we offer 3D ultrasound services, giving you an in-depth view of your child from every angle.
4D ultrasound
4D ultrasounds take the technology a step further by combining the detailed imagery of 3D with real-time movement. This means you can see your baby’s face, seeing them up close yawning, smiling, or even sucking their thumb as it happens, providing an incredibly special bonding experience during your pregnancy.
Why parents choose 4D
What are the Benefits?
Real-Time Bonding
The 4D ultrasound experience elevates bonding to a new level by allowing you to witness your baby’s movements and expressions in real time. Watching your baby yawn, smile, or even suck their thumb as it happens is not only fascinating but deepens the emotional connection between you and your baby during pregnancy.
Emotional Connection
There is something profoundly moving about seeing your baby live in motion. This dynamic visualisation fosters an even deeper emotional bond, making the pregnancy experience more vivid and real for expectant parents.
Shared Joy
4D ultrasounds offer the unique opportunity to share the magic of seeing your baby move and grow in real time. These scans can be recorded, creating shareable videos that allow loved ones to enjoy the excitement and cherish these moments forever.
Before your scan
How to Prepare for Your 4D Ultrasound
Stay Hydrated for Clearer Images
Drinking plenty of water in the days before your scan improves the clarity of amniotic fluid, which gives the best possible view of your baby.
Have a Light Snack Before Your Scan
A small snack about 30 minutes beforehand helps encourage movement, and movement is the whole point of a 4D scan.
Wear Comfortable Clothing
A two-piece outfit, such as a loose top and bottoms, makes it easy to access your belly.
Relax and Enjoy the Moment
Take a breath and settle in. The more relaxed you are, the more you will get from the session.
