Ante-natal (4D UltraSound)

St. Ives Hospital offers all our Ante-natal patients a 4D scan experience. This unique experience  makes the moment you see your unborn child a bit more exciting and memorable.
A 4D scan is safe and can be done at anytime in your pregnancy, however for the best result; we advise having it done between 24 and 33 weeks.
A 4D scan allows you to see your precious little one doing things that can not be seen in the 2D scan- like sucking their thumb, opening their eyes and smiling. It is reassuring and aids bonding with your unborn child.
