7️⃣Key Things to Know Before Getting a 4D Baby Scan

Everything You Need to Know Before Going for a 4D Scan

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey filled with excitement, curiosity, and unforgettable moments. One of the most special experiences for expecting parents is seeing their baby before birth through a 4D ultrasound scan. If you’re planning to get one soon, this simple and complete guide from Samyutha Scans will help you understand everything you need to know.

What Is a 4D Scan?

A 4D scan is an advanced ultrasound technology that shows a real-time moving video of your baby inside the womb.
Unlike the flat images seen in 2D scans or the still pictures in 3D, a 4D scan captures your baby’s expressions and movements live, smiling, yawning, stretching, sucking their thumb, and more.

At Samyutha Scans, the latest equipment ensures clear visuals and a memorable experience for parents looking for a 4D scan in Chennai.

When Is the Best Time for a 4D Scan?

The ideal period for a 4D scan is between 22 and 32 weeks of pregnancy.

During this stage:

• Your baby’s facial features are well developed

• Movements are more visible

• There's enough amniotic fluid for clearer images
  
  

This helps you get the best-quality visuals.

How to Prepare for Your 4D Scan

To get the best possible results, follow these simple steps:

1. Stay Hydrated

Drink enough water for 2 - 3 days before your appointment. Hydration helps produce clearer and sharper images.

2. Wear Comfortable Clothes

Loose clothing makes it easy for you to relax during the scan.

3. Eat a Light Snack

A small snack before the scan may help increase the baby’s movement, giving you more to watch.

4. Bring Your Family Along

Samyutha Scans encourages partners and close family members to join you for this special moment.

Is a 4D Scan Safe?

Absolutely. 4D scans use the same safe ultrasound technology used for routine pregnancy scans.
There is no radiation, and the procedure is completely safe for both mother and baby when performed by skilled professionals just like at Samyutha Scans.

How Long Does a 4D Scan Take?

A typical session takes around 20–30 minutes.
If your baby is not in the right position, the technician may wait a few minutes or ask you to move around so the baby can shift.

What You Receive After the Scan

At Samyutha Scans, parents usually receive:

• High-quality images

• Short video clips of the baby’s movements

• Beautifully captured facial expressions

• Digital copies

These become memories you can cherish forever.
