About Your Scan
Do I need a deposit to secure the booking?
Yes, all bookings require a non-refundable £20 deposit before the appointment is secure. You will not be entitled to a refund if you cancel or amend a booking.
How can I prepare for my 3D/4D baby scan?
Drink plenty of water before coming for your baby scan. It can help to make the ambiotic fluid clearer. Also if it’s early in your pregnancy the fuller your bladder the better the ultrasound images we can obtain. It is suggested that perhaps having a snack or fruit juice an hour prior to the scan may make the baby a little more active. It is advisable to wear loose, comfortable clothing. There are no other specific things you need to do to prepare, simply relax and enjoy your experience!
What is the difference between a 3D and a 4D baby scan?
A 3D baby scans produce the three dimensional images of your baby. The fourth dimension is time and so a 4D scan is simply a moving video of the 3D scan. After your scan with Lollipop 4D Baby Scans you will be able to purchase a disc /USB of your images or a DVD of the video.
When is the best time to have a 3D/4D baby scan?
Generally between week 24 and week 30 of your pregnancy your baby will have room to move and we will be able to obtain great results. However a scan can be carried out at any stage of your pregnancy and it is possible to obtain fantastic results at different stages of pregnancy. You will be advised when booking if you are over 31 weeks you may not be offered a rescan and will not receive a refund if we cannot get any images of baby.
Do you have toilets?
Yes, we have toilets on site, you don’t need to worry about drinking too much water!
Is it necessary to book an appointment?

How many people can I bring?
We don’t have a limit on the number of people you can bring with you as long as it is within reason.
How long will my appointment be?
You should give yourself about 30minutes for your appointment. A bonding scan will last between 10-12 minutes depending on baby’s position. If they are in a bad position, we may ask you to go for a walk, if this doesn’t move baby we will ask you back for one totally free rescan at later date. Please note rescans may not be on the same day of the week as your first scan.
