When is the best time for 3D/4D?
The purpose of this scan is to see your baby’s unique features – frontal or in profile. In principle 3D/4D is possible throughout the pregnancy but please note that the best time to get images is between weeks 26-29 (weeks 23-26 for twins). The reason for this is that the amount of amniotic fluid peaks around this time. Fluid around the baby is crucial for optimal image quality. Therefore we prefer that you book this scan within the reccomended gestational weeks. We don’t offer image guarantee (re-scans) after week 32+0 (28 for twins). After week 32 (28) we recommend a Reassurance Scan.
What's included in the consultation?
A consultation includes obtaining pregnancy history as a baseline for assessing your baby’s growth and health, an ultrasound scan, a written report and a color photo of your baby all nicely presented in a folder. All the images and clips (silent) from the scan are sent via Tricefy. You can buy extra color photos at the price of dkk 20/pc. 3D and 4D images.
We see and hear the heartbeat and we determine the gender if you’re interested. The fetus is measured and the growth is assessed based on your due date. If you haven’t been scanned before we set the due date now.
We assess the placenta and the amount of amniotic fluid.
After week 20 we measure the resistance in the umbilical cord using doppler. This allows us to assess the placental efficiency.
Your sonographer will determine wether or not there is an indication for measuring the flow in the uterine artery (the blood supply to the placenta) and/or the mid cerebral artery (one of the great arteries in the baby’s brain). These flows will be measured if a stall in the baby’s growth is suspected.
What's if it's not as expected?
Sometimes the position of the fetus disables us from accomplishing the scan. If this is the case we invite you back for a second look free of charge if you fulfill the conditions described above.Â
In case of issues with the fetus’s health or growth we will guide you about the next steps.
About re-scans and image guarantee
Sometimes the position of the fetus disables us from accomplishing the scan. If this is the case we invite you back for a second look free of charge if you fulfill the conditions described above.
A good 3D image requires a good 2D image. Sometimes the position of the fetus disables us from accomplishing the scan. If this is the case we invite you back for a second look, no charge! However, quite frequently there will be objects near the baby’s face. Examples are: Placenta (as in the image on this page), hands, feet, umbilical cord etc. It isn’t always possible to create an image where the baby is entirely free of objects but if the face shows this will not be an indication for a re-scan.
Sometimes we get many images – sometimes it’s only possible to get one good image. The image guarantee ensures at least one image that answers the criteria described above.
Re-scans are available on weekdays before 4PM (provided there is an available time).
Re-scans are not available on weekends and after week 32+0 and cannot be booked online. If you change your appointment via our booking system without consulting us in advance you will pay for the scan you have booked.
Please note: This is not an Anomaly Scan.
