What
is a 4D Scan?
A
4D Scan is a series of images that are captured using
the latest ultrasound scanning technology, providing a
real life, moving video of your unborn baby. Apeekaboo
Imaging specialise in 4d scans, which can capture your
baby playing with toes, blinking, yawning, and even scratch
his or her nose.
What
is the best time to get a 4D Scan?
At Apeekaboo Imaging we say the best time to capture your
baby’s animated movements through a 4D Scan is between
20 weeks to 32 weeks gestation. The optimum time within
this we suggest is around 25 weeks – 27 weeks gestation
for a 4D Scan. This is because the fluid that surrounds
your baby will be at its most during this time; allowing
the ultrasound to send astonishingly clear images of your
baby from the womb to the screen, giving you a 4D Scan
that is clear and lifelike. Some things to consider which
will affect the quality of your 4D Scan are;
- Where
your baby is positioned
- Where
the baby’s umbilical cord is
- Where
your placenta is located
- The
amount of amniotic fluid present & mums size
Apeekaboo sonographers are all qualified
midwifes, so any concerns or questions you have about
your pregnancy or 4D Scan will be answered with total
care and consideration for you and your baby.
4D
Scan Video?
A
4D Scan is a moving video of your baby. If you choose
a Top Peek Package, or add a DVD to your Pick-A-Peek Package,
we will simultaneously download your 4D scan onto a DVD
for you to take home and watch over and over again!
