Pregnancy is a beautiful experience that works with hope, expectations, and milestones. The first look at the child is one of the most precious moments in the life of the soon-to-be -parents. Although a regular 2D scan is necessary on medical grounds, most couples are now willing to go the extra mile and book a 3D or 4D private ultrasound pregnancy.

At Before the Stork 4D, we have the most up-to-date advanced ultrasound technology, such as Private ultrasound for pregnancy; you can connect with your baby on a whole new level of detail. Do you want to see what your baby looks like? Or watch them in real-time? 3D and 4D scans provide you with a womb-like peek.
The Technological Leap – 3D & 4D Ultrasound Explained
The 3D scan incorporates a 3D still picture of the baby. Distinct features such as the nose, lips, hands, and feet are visible. A 4D ultrasound takes things a little further by actually showing the baby yawning, stretching, and smiling in real-time, moving around.
Apart from being aesthetically beautiful, these scans instill a bonding experience that many families cherish for a lifetime. Our technology at Before the Stork 4D allows for clear, high-quality images in a comfortable and private environment.
Why Have a Private Pregnancy Ultrasound?
Booking a pregnancy ultrasound privately has several advantages over traditional hospital scans:
- Increased time during the scan appointment to savor the experience
- Flexible appointment scheduling, evenings and weekends
- Access to advanced 3D and 4D imaging is not regularly provided in standard NHS scans
- A friendly and family-oriented atmosphere
- The option to add keepsakes such as printed pictures or heartbeat recordings
Before the Stork 4D, we have a variety of packages beyond what is clinically necessary — we assist in creating lasting memories during your pregnancy journey.
The Benefits of 3D and 4D Private Ultrasound Scans
1. Increased Bonding Experience
Having seen your baby’s face, expressions, and movements creates an even stronger emotional bond. For some parents, it’s an eye-opener moment — their baby is not an idea anymore but a developing little human being.
2. Unforgettable Keepsakes
At Before the Stork 4D, you can take home high-quality printed photos, digital files, and even audio recordings of your baby’s heartbeat. These keepsakes are ideal to be included in baby books or gender reveal announcements.
3. Involvement of the family
Our cozy scan rooms allow partners, siblings, and other close relatives to be part of the experience. Seeing the baby move in 4D together is a memory that will bring the family closer.
4. Non-Diagnostic Peace of Mind
Though 3D and 4D scans are essentially for bonding and fun, they also present a chance to see your baby’s growth up close. Though they don’t substitute for diagnostic scans, numerous parents find them comforting.
What is the Best Time for a 3D or 4D Scan?
In order to achieve optimal images of images and display experience, we suggest 3D or 4D scans between 24 and 32 weeks of pregnancy. At this point, the child has already formed various facial functions, and there is also plenty of room to move and develop in the uterus.
It is possible to scan first, but the level of expansion may not be the same.
Beyond 32 weeks, the size and position of the baby might restrict picture clarity.
Early Gender Testing Options

If you cannot wait to find out if you are having a boy or girl – Before the Stork 4D has accurate and early gender testing available. This comprises an ultrasound gender reveal and a gender testing blood test, which is eligible to be conducted as early as six weeks of gestation.
The blood test entails the presence of fetal DNA in maternal blood, and the precise outcomes do not pose any threat to the child. Gender confirmation through ultrasound is also typically available from 16 weeks on.
Pairing early gender testing with a subsequent 3D or 4D scan provides you with a complete experience — early information and unforgettable bonding time.
