Important things to know
4D bonding scans can be beautiful, but views are never guaranteed. This section helps set the right expectations before booking.
4D views depend on baby’s position
If baby is facing away, has hands or feet over the face, or is tucked close to the placenta, facial views may be limited.
Ultrasound has limitations
Ultrasound cannot detect every condition. This scan complements your NHS maternity care and does not replace routine screening.
When to seek urgent care
If you have bleeding, severe pain, feel unwell, or are worried about reduced fetal movements, seek urgent NHS maternity assessment.
