4D Bonding Scan Overview:
The 4DWellbeingAssure™ scan is primarily designed to perform wellbeing observational checks on your baby after your NHS anomaly scan between 24-32 weeks gestation.
Advanced HDlive 3D/4D imaging will be obtained during the diagnostic evaluation and complimentary baby sexing is included providing baby is in a conducive position.
Wellbeing Observations Include:
- Audible Heartbeat Trace
- Observed Movement
- Placental Position
- Amniotic Fluid Volume
- Position of Baby
- 3D/4D HDlive Imaging
- Optional Complimentary Gender Evaluation (*subject to baby's position & visibility)
This 4DWellbeingAssure™ scan does not include growth measurements as such. For ultimate peace of mind, you may wish to consider the
4DGrowth&Wellbeing™ option should you require a more detailed diagnostic evaluation of your baby’s development.
Detailed Description
The 4DWellbeingAssure™ bonding scan can be conducted between 24 and 32 weeks gestation (after your NHS anomaly scan). This scan focuses on wellbeing observations of your unborn baby combined with 3D/4D imaging.
During the scan your fully-qualified obstetric Sonographer will observe heartbeat, movement, placental site, amniotic fluid volume and position of baby, all of which will be documented in the form of a DigitalFoetal Assessment report, providing valuable information to share with your midwife. 3D/4D imagery will be obtained during the process of the diagnostic evaluation using advanced HDlive imaging software.
Your scan will be conducted using an abdominal ultrasound probe (external on the abdomen), and it is important to recognise that imagery obtained is derived from the reflection of sound waves passing through your abdomen creating the visual image. The level of diagnostic evaluation and visibility achievable can differ greatly between clients, especially in cases of a high BMI which can result in poor image resolution.
Please Note: The primary purpose of this scan is to achieve an essential diagnostic evaluation of your unborn baby, during which we will use advanced 3D/4D HDlive imaging software to provide views of baby in an alternative perspective. Complimentary gender evaluation cannot be conducted in a secret format with this scan.
