We are thrilled to introduce Alisha Mortimer-Smith and Sarah Scarlett as the new directors of ‘Love Baby Scans’, formerly known as ‘A 4D Baby (Martlesham)’ A 4D Baby is a family run CQC registered business that has been established since 2005 and has built up a reputation for providing quality scans at a price people can afford. A recent quote from a client “It is so rare nowadays to find a compan

y that genuinely provides such a good quality service at a reasonable price.” As the original and longest running 4D scan studio in East Anglia our staff have many years experience in both 4D scans and 2D s*xing scans, having only ever had 6 gender scans wrong in 12 years (over 25,000 clients). We were the first to offer our clients a 2D s*xing scan for just £55 (with the option to see the baby in 4D free of charge). A 4D Baby not only offers the most competitive prices but also a high standard of service which sees our customers return to us year after year and recommend us to their friends, we were very proud to receive an award from The Best Of Ipswich. If you use moisturising creams please stop using them for a couple of weeks before the scan as the build up of moisturiser can interfere with the sound waves and cause less clear pictures. A high BMI will also affect the quality of the pictures as will an anterior placenta, to varying degrees, as again it diminishes the strength of the soundwaves which causes less sharp pictures. The principles of A 4D Baby are to provide the best possible service to our clients at the lowest price possible which is why we receive so many recommendations from our clients. We have always employed fully qualified Sonographers to carry out the scans and we use the GE E8 new HD scanner, the latest state of the art HD ultrasound machine. There is only one simple reason that we are cheaper than our competitors and that is that we do not make as much profit. All our locations have been specifically chosen with our clients in mind so they are easy to find, you do not have to go into the City to get to us, and offer the benefit of free parking. Our studio at Martlesham has shops, a pub and a park with a childrens’ play area nearby. We have not ever and will not ever charge clients extra if they are having twins, with twins please bear in mind that it is usual to get good pictures of one baby but not so good of the other. All our staff will do their best to get good pictures for you on the day.All our 4D scans include s*xing of the baby. In 2008 we won "Most Family Friendly Business of 2008" by The Best Of Ipswich because "It provides a professional baby scanning service in an informal and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful and the prices are very reasonable." If you live in the following areas we have a studio near you Ipswich, Stowmarket, Felixstowe, Colchester, Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth, Lakenheath, Mildenhall, Thetford, Norwich, Diss, Swaffham, Newmarket, Braintree. We have 100% accuracy on 2D scans over 20 weeks. Gender scans are now available from 15 weeks, We recommend a 4D scan is best 26-28 weeks and for twins from 23 weeks. Our free re-scans are only available to those gender scans over 15 weeks (who bring their notes) and 4D scans over 24 weeks or 23 weeks for twins. We take the physical and emotional well being of our clients very seriously which is why we strongly advise not to have a 2D scan under 20 weeks at the weekend. This is because if you have not had your 20 week anomaly scan you might not be aware of a problem and it is much harder to contact your medical provider at the weekend ( if any problems show up during the scan). Ultrasound has been used for the last 30 years and 4D has been available since 2004. It is not x ray and does not use radiation. Our equipment is fitted with a second isolator for added safety.

At Love Baby Scans in Ipswich, we offer 3 types of pregnancy scans...

✨️ Reassurance scan (6-24 weeks)
To check your baby’s well being and to confirm whether a heartbeat is visualised in order to give you reassurance from 6 weeks. Measurements will be taken at the time of the scan to give you an approximate idea of gestation. We will also be able to check if it is a single or multiple pregnancy and in the correct location.

✨️ Gender scan (from 16 weeks)
To check baby’s viability and wellbeing, and to provide a professional opinion on the s*x of your baby. You can find out the gender of your baby straightaway with our exciting pink and blue gender reveal lighting, or we can write down the result in an envelope for you to take away.

✨️ 4D scan (24-30 weeks)
To check baby’s viability, baby’s wellbeing, and to show you baby in 4D. Included are unlimited printed photos, and photos & videos sent to your phone (as they are with all of our scans!)

Some ladies come to see us for all three types of scans! All are available to book at lovebabyscans.co.uk 💞

In all of our scan types we check baby's viability (heartbeat) and you're able to hear the sound of it beating too. ❤️

From 16 weeks, we can place the sound of your baby's heartbeat into one of our teddies to make a lovely keepsake. We record the sound of your baby's heartbeat through the umbilical cord onto the sound module and place into the bear.

These are priced at £15 for small teddies, or £25 for large ones. You can let us know in advance or choose to have it recorded during your scan. 🥰

Throughout our gender scans in February, we scanned 19 boys and 18 girls! 🩵🩷

Gender scans are available from 16 weeks gestation, and during this we check baby’s viability, baby’s wellbeing (whether a heartbeat is visualised), and of course, provide our professional opinion on the s*x of your baby.

We can keep it a surprise for you, popping a card in an envelope for you to celebrate with loved ones. We also have canons, confetti and bears in boxes available to purchase.

Or you can find out during your appointment with our neon light flashing either pink or blue for you - something you're welcome to film too!

If we are unable to confirm the s*x of your baby, we will offer you one free rescan at a later date.

A 4D Baby is a family run CQC registered business that has been established since 2005 and has built up a reputation for providing quality scans at a price people can afford.

We were the first to offer our clients a 2D s*xing scan for just £55 (with the option to see the baby in 4D free of charge) and the first to offer the latest technology HD scans. A 4D Baby not only offers the most competitive prices but also a high standard of service which sees our customers return to us year after year and recommend us to their friends, we were very proud to receive an award from The Best Of Ipswich. Family members are welcome to attend the scan to see the new addition to the family.

A high BMI will also affect the quality of the pictures as will an anterior placenta, to varying degrees, as again it diminishes the strength of the soundwaves which causes less sharp pictures. All our scans qualify for a free Baby Art Bump to Baby photo session, please call Brendan at Taylor Made Portraits Ipswich to book www.babyartuk.co.uk 01473288503. The principles of A 4D Baby are to provide the best possible service to our clients at the lowest price possible which is why we receive so many recommendations from our clients.

Our studio at Martlesham has shops, a pub and a park with a childrens’ play area nearby. Your deposit can be as little as £10 but we do need a deposit as we have found 99% of those that don’t pay deposits don’t keep their appointment. All our scans qualify for a free re-scan if the pictures at the first sitting aren’t of a good enough standard. We have not ever and will not ever charge clients extra if they are having twins, with twins please bear in mind that it is usual to get good pictures of one baby but not so good of the other. All our staff will do their best to get good pictures for you on the day. No matter which scan you choose to have please be prepared to be with us for a while as some babies take over 2 hours before they will move into a good position for pictures, most appointments take about 45-60 mins. All our 4D scans include s*xing of the baby, DVD and 4 thermal images. No matter which scan you choose you will be afforded the same time and patience in order to get the best results we can. In 2008 we won "Most Family Friendly Business of 2008" by The Best Of Ipswich because "It provides a professional baby scanning service in an informal and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful and the prices are very reasonable”. We have 100% accuracy on 2D scans over 20 weeks. Gender scans are now available from 15 weeks, with a 99.9% accuracy.
