Having a simply4D Scan in Gateshead? |
Pregnancy is an amazing journey, whether this is your first baby or if you have children already. We understand the importance of seeing your little one now you are in your third trimester, allowing you and your family an opportunity to see your baby before birth. Our
simply4D Scan in Gateshead does just this, and at the same time it’s an exciting ultrasound scan for all to enjoy.
We are proud to offer our
simply4D Scan in Gateshead to help with any worries you may have following your routine 20-week scan. All Ultrasound Direct scans are performed by a fully qualified medical expert.
Ultrasound technology has now advanced to be able to give you a simply4D Scan in Gateshead: a real-time 3D moving image of your baby.
Our
simply4D Scan in Gateshead 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.
