Book Your Luxury 4D Baby ScanWhat is a Luxury 4D Baby Scan?
The Luxury 4D Baby Scan at Numi Scan Gateshead is our premium 4D bonding experience: a private HD Live ultrasound from 24 weeks of pregnancy designed around extended viewing time and the most comprehensive keepsake package we offer. It's the package most parents choose when they want the full bonding experience, not just the result, and want take-home memories that go beyond a couple of small prints.
During your scan, our experienced and registered sonographer will:
- Show detailed facial features and expressions in real-time 4D HD Live
- Capture baby's movement and activity: yawning, stretching, smiling
- Confirm baby's position (presentation)
- Check placenta location (where visible)
- Confirm an audible heartbeat
You'll watch on our 90-inch projector screen and two 46-inch side TVs from comfortable sofa seating with up to 7 guests welcome. The premium package includes a comprehensive print collection (1 A3 + 1 A4 + 2 A5 + 4 A6 prints), plus all images digitally, and a Heartbeat Bear recorded with your baby's actual heartbeat. For the standard 4D experience at a friendlier price, see our 4D Baby Scan at £78.
When is the best time for a Luxury 4D scan?
The optimal window for any 4D scan is between 24 and 32 weeks, with the cinematic sweet spot around 26-30 weeks. Here's why timing matters:
- 24-26 weeks: Baby has developed enough fat under the skin for clear facial features, and there's plenty of amniotic fluid for excellent imaging. The Luxury package is recommended after your 20-week NHS anomaly scan.
- 26-30 weeks (sweet spot): The window most parents book the Luxury 4D for. Baby looks "newborn" but isn't yet too cramped, so the extended scan time delivers the most cinematic 4D images. See our 28-week milestone guide.
- 30-32 weeks: Still excellent images, though baby is getting larger and may be lower in the pelvis, which can make some facial views slightly harder.
- After 32 weeks: Image quality starts to reduce as baby has less space and amniotic fluid. For late-pregnancy scans focused on growth and position, book a Growth & Presentation Scan instead.
Image quality may vary depending on baby's position and other factors. We'll do everything we can during your appointment to capture the best possible images.
Why choose the Luxury 4D over the standard 4D Baby Scan?
Both our standard 4D Baby Scan (£78) and the Luxury 4D (now £135, reduced from £145) use the same HD Live 4D technology and the same experienced and registered sonographers. The difference is the time you get with your baby and the keepsakes you take home.
The Luxury 4D Baby Scan adds:
- Extended scan time: more time to see your baby move, with multiple position changes if needed to get the best images
- Comprehensive print package: 1 large A3, 1 A4, 2 A5 and 4 A6 prints (vs 2 A5 + 4 A6 prints on the standard 4D scan). Perfect for framing, sharing with family, or filling a baby memory book.
- Heartbeat Bear keepsake: a soft toy with your baby's actual heartbeat recorded inside. Press the bear's paw any time to hear that first heartbeat sound. It's the keepsake most parents say they'll keep forever.
The NHS doesn't offer 4D ultrasound at all; NHS scans are 2D and clinical by design. A private 4D scan, whether the standard or Luxury package, is the only way to see your baby's face before birth in real-time HD Live. See our private vs NHS ultrasound guide for the full comparison, or read about private ultrasound costs across the UK.
Luxury 4D Baby Scan — NHS vs Private
NHS care is 2D and clinically focused, designed for screening rather than keepsake imagery. For parents who'd like a premium bonding experience alongside their NHS pathway, our Luxury 4D Baby Scan adds HD Live ultrasound, extended scan time, the most comprehensive print package we offer, a Heartbeat Bear keepsake, and Mum + 7 guests welcome. Designed to complement your NHS care.
