Getting ready for your scan
A comfortably full bladder (early scans)
For dating, early reassurance and presentation scans, drink 500ml–1 litre of water 30–45 minutes before and try not to empty your bladder. Gender and 4D scans don’t need a full bladder.
Bring your NHS notes
For anomaly and growth scans, please bring your maternity notes or hospital scan reports so we can compare measurements.
Bring your loved ones
Up to 5 guests are welcome, including children of any age, so the whole family can share the moment.
Arrive 10 minutes early
It gives you time to check in and relax. Wear loose, comfortable clothing so we can easily scan your tummy.
What is a 4D baby scan?
A standard 2D scan shows a black-and-white cross-section of your baby. A 3D scan builds those slices into a still, life-like image, and 4D adds movement, so you can watch your baby’s expressions and gestures as they happen: a yawn, a stretch, a hand near their face.
Every 4D session at Lumina includes a wellbeing check by your sonographer, who confirms your baby’s heartbeat, movements and position while you enjoy the experience.
When is the best time for a 4D scan?
Our packages run from 20 to 34 weeks. Many parents find the clearest facial images come from around 26 to 32 weeks, when your baby has more fat under the skin but still has room to move. Before then you’ll see a slimmer, more delicate face; after 34 weeks your baby can be tucked tightly into position.

Our 4D recall promise
Sometimes babies hide their faces behind hands, the cord or the placenta. If we can’t get clear 4D images because of your baby’s position or other natural factors, we’ll offer one complimentary recall appointment. Only one free recall is included per booking.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between 3D and 4D?
3D scans create still, life-like images of your baby. 4D adds real-time movement, so you can watch expressions and movements as they happen.
When should I book my 4D scan?
Our 4D packages are available from 20 to 34 weeks. Many parents choose 26 to 32 weeks for the clearest facial features.
What happens if my baby won’t show their face?
If we can’t get clear 4D images because of your baby’s position, we offer one free recall appointment per booking.
Can I find out the gender at a 4D scan?
Yes, if your baby’s position allows. Just let your sonographer know whether you’d like to find out.
Is a 4D scan a medical scan?
It’s an elective bonding scan that includes a wellbeing check. It doesn’t replace your NHS anomaly or growth scans.
