The ultrasound captures a real life image of your unborn baby in full colour.
You should book the 4D ultrasound once you’ve done your maternity pre-admission
by 22 weeks of pregnancy, to ensure an appointment is available for between 28
and 31 weeks of pregnancy. The hospital’s reception staff will assist you with
arrangements. The 4D ultrasound is not a diagnostic scan nor is it used to
