4d Bonding Scans
An unmissable chance to see your baby in crystal clarity as they make their very first home movie.
See Your Baby In Stunning 4D
It’s always a special time when you get to see your baby throughout your pregnancy. But as exciting as it can be to view your 2D pregnancy scan, just imagine the clarity and quality you can get from a 4D scan!
Between 24-30 weeks is the optimum time to come in for your 3D/4D bonding scan, which shows your baby in the skin and flesh with a truly jaw-dropping level of detail. You’ll even be able to make out their little nose, lips and fingers up-close in motion!
The cost for our 4D Scan is £126 with the promise of a free rescan if we cannot get clear images on your first appointment.

FAQs
-
You can have a 4D scan between 24 and 30 weeks. The earlier side of this period tends to be favourable due to the placenta lying nearer the front which makes for a clearer image.
-
The equipment at Imaginatal is brand new and of a high specification, which means the 4D scans are extremely clear with amazing resolution and detail. The baby’s position will always influence how the final image looks on the screen, but our team will always do their best.
-
4D scans use the same imaging technique as regular ultrasound scans and have been shown to be completely safe for mother and baby alike. The intensity of the sound waves are the same as those on 2D scans, using echoes to create images.
-
The difference between 3D and 4D ultrasound scans are that during 3D scans you see static images of your baby, whereas during 4D scans you are effectively watching a live stream of baby in the womb.
-
You do not need a full bladder for attending scanning appointments from 19 weeks onwards.
-
4D scans are very accurate, especially when performed in the 3rd trimester when the baby’s individual features are now present and formed.
-
Your 4D scan will not detect abnormalities that your baby may have. They are high-definition, detailed motion pictures. Abnormalities are best detected during 2D, routine ultrasound appointments.
-
When you have an anterior placenta, it will be lying over the baby’s face which makes it difficult to get clear pictures.
-
We tend to use 4D scans to focus on your baby’s face during your 4D scan, but we can do a gender reveal during your 4D scanning appointment if you want, but we’ll switch to 2D to do that.
-
We offer a free rescan on another day to achieve a 4D viewing of the baby in the cases we can’t get a clear image the first time.
-
If you’re expecting twins, we would recommend coming for a 4D scanning appointment before 27 weeks, so they have enough wriggle room around the placenta still.
-
You will see all the imaging and video from your 4D scan during your appointment.
-
You will get 5 standard-sized prints of your images, 2 keyrings or 2 magnets and all the digital images as well as the video of the scan emailed to you after your appointment.
