Having a simply4D Scan in Dundee? |
Now you are in your third trimester, you and your family must be looking forward to your future arrival. Our
simply4D Scan in Dundee has been carefully designed to give you the opportunity to see your little one’s face in 4D for the very first time in the comfort of our spacious clinic from 25 to 30 weeks gestation.
We know how exciting a new baby is, and that you’ve had to wait several weeks to see your baby again following your routine 20-week NHS scan. Our
simply4D Scan in Dundee is designed to provide fast results, an opportunity to see your baby’s distinctive features in 4D, and give the reassurance your baby is healthy with a baby health check while confirming the gender if desired.
Ultrasound technology has now advanced to be able to give you a simply4D Scan in Dundee: a real-time 3D moving image of your baby.
Our
simply4D Scan in Dundee is available to women of 16 years of age and over and is a popular scan to get those all important fast results. We have successfully performed hundreds of thousands of
simply4D Scans since we started our company 20 years ago.
The
simply4D Scan not only offers quick reassurance during the long wait between the 20-week scan and birth, but allows you to see your baby in 4D.
Although the primary purpose of a simply4D Scan must always be a diagnostic one, to check your baby’s health and wellbeing, it’s also possible to see facial characteristics and expressions, including smiling and frowning quite clearly. You may also see them sucking their thumb or playing with their umbilical cord – it’s an amazing sneak preview of what your baby will be like when they are finally born. This is the next best thing to meeting your baby in person.
