In addition, they must have already undergone a medical or diagnostic Ultrasound ordered by their provider to confirm their due date, screen for fetal anomalies, and to look for any other pregnancy related issues. Does this take the place of an Ultrasound at my doctor's office?ĪBSOLUTELY NOT! Women seeking an elective prenatal 4D Ultrasound with us must already be receiving treatment with a healthcare provider for prenatal care. A routine ultrasound examination must have already been performed to assess the gestational age of the fetus and to evaluate for fetal anomalies as well as the basic components of fetal anatomy recommended for screening. We make no claims that 3D as used in this examination is performed to better assess the baby for abnormalities. We feel that realistic surface images provide a connection between the parents and baby that can be beneficial to the whole family. We offer elective 2D, 3D & 4D prenatal ultrasounds to provide a positive bonding experience for the mother, father and family members with the unborn baby. You accept that you may not necessarily receive a clear view of the babies face due to a number of factors, such as the position of the baby, hands or umbilical cord covering the baby’s face, lack of fluid around the babies face, or extra maternal tissue that may distort the image.Beverly - Ultrasound Technician FAQ's What is an elective prenatal ultrasound?.You accept that payment for this 4D Bonding Scan covers the bonding experience for yourself and any present family members or friends, not just the images you are given to take with you.If you're having a 3rd trimester 4D scan, you confirm that you have had a 20-week anatomy scan performed for this pregnancy.We will endeavour to provide you with a memorable bonding experience with your baby, however, we ask that you please agree to the following terms and conditions related to 4D Bonding Scans performed at The Ultrasound Clinic before we can begin your scan: You must confirm or cancel your appointment at least 4 hours prior. Our Cancellation Policy applies to all appointments. Please also bring the voucher with you to your appointment. Please let us know you have a voucher when you book your appointment and quote the voucher number. I have a voucher for a 4D scan, how do I use it? If you are having the 4D scan as part of your 3rd-trimester growth scan, you will still need a referral for the growth scan. No, this scan can be performed without a referral as it is a non-medical scan and simply a chance for parents, family, and friends to bond with the baby. If that fails we'll try and get some images of other parts of the baby such as feet and hands.

We might ask you to go for a short walk to try and get the baby to move. However, sometimes the baby's position or the position of the umbilical cord or baby's hands, or lack of fluid around the baby can prevent us from getting good images of the baby's face. We have the latest Philips 4D technology for capturing great views of your baby.

What if you can't get a clear view of my baby? Your images from the scan will be made available on the My Scans app at no additional charge. The cost of each of the above services can be found on our Price List The scan time will be approximately 20 minutes.
