Smiling, yawning and sucking is often seen depending on how awake or asleep the baby is.The quality (how clear they are) of the 3/4D images is mostly determined by the baby’s position and how far along the pregnancy is.If it is not possible to obtain satisfactory images (which is very unusual) for whatever reason then we will make arrangements for a further scan or adjust the charge depending on your preference.At the Nuffield we offer 3/4D imaging as an additional component to either a detailed scan or a fetal growth and wellbeing scan. It is also possible to book a sonographer performed 3/4D studio scan with or without identification of baby’s gender.Factors which influence the quality of the image obtained are the age of the pregnancy (better at 22 weeks than 18), the position of the baby and the patient's bodyweight (image quality tends to be poorer if the woman is heavy) .If the views are not adequate, this will be explained by the consultant and arrangements made for a repeat examination.
