Babybond® 4D bonding scans are the original and most popular in the UK. We've successfully performed hundreds of thousands since 2003. Many new parents seek reassurance that their baby's growth is checked by a healthcare professional during a 4D scan, it's why our 4D bonding scans include a growth report and estimated fetal weight as well as beautiful 4D ultrasound imaging. We include showing you the sex of your baby at no extra charge, but if you don't want to know, we can keep things hidden.
All scans are performed by a qualified Sonographer with obstetric ultrasound scanning experience.

The quality of your 4d scan is dependant on your baby's position. Whilst obtaining the best results on the day, we may stop scanning and ask you to take a short gentle walk in the local area. If, in our healthcare professional’s opinion, we’re not able to complete the primary purpose of your scan because your baby's position is still not favourable, we may offer you the option of a free rescan appointment. If this is not possible due to your gestation, other options will be discussed with you.
The number and length of 4D clips on USB memory-sticks are determined by your baby’s position on the day and our compliance with professional safety guidelines. We therefore operate the As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle i.e. we use the minimum ultrasound scanning exposure time and system settings to fulfill the primary purpose of the scan and always endeavor to provide you with a satisfying and varied amount of recordings on the day. Appointment times include acknowledging informed consent to the scan, the appropriate pre and post scan advice being given to you where necessary as well as the actual scanning time on the couch.
