Q: Is it difficult to do a 3D/4D scan?
A:
It’s not difficult, but the baby has to be co-operative! The face is best seen at 26-32 weeks and the baby should not hold its hands or feet(!) near the face. It may take some time for the baby to get into a good position. A fetal wellbeing scan is always done at the same time as a 3D/4D scan. If the baby is not in a good position, you may be asked to go for a walk and return later. If you have to have a repeat scan, it has to be fitted in to the busy clinic schedule, so you may need to wait for up to two hours.
