When is the best time to get a 3D or 4D baby ultrasound in Perth?

The optimal window for detailed 3D and 4D facial expressions and features is typically between 26 and 32 weeks of pregnancy. For early gender reveal scans, sessions can often be booked starting from 14-15 weeks.

Do I need a doctor's referral for an ultrasound at Beautiful Beginnings?

No, a referral is not required. Our sessions are strictly elective, non-diagnostic bonding experiences designed to complement—not replace—your official medical and routine diagnostic scans.

Pregnancy comes with a lot of excitement, and just as many questions. We’ve gathered the things families ask us most so you can feel informed and relaxed before your visit.

Do I need a referral?

For diagnostic (medical) scans, we do require a valid referral from your GP/midwife/health care provider. Without this, we cannot perform diagnostic scans.

When is the best time to see my baby in 3D/4D/5D?

Between 26-34 weeks is usually the sweet spot. By then, baby has a little facial fat (hello cheeks!) but still has enough room to move for lovely angles. 28-30 weeks often gives the best balance. Earlier views (between 14-25 weeks) are great for cute profiles, and later views (between 35-40 weeks) can still be gorgeous, but space is tighter and baby’s position matters more.

What should I do to prepare for my scan?

Hydrate well in the days leading up to your appointment. While we don’t need you to hold your bladder during your session, being well hydrated does improve image quality. Having a light snack 20-30 minutes can encourage baby’s movement and activity. Wearing something comfortable and loose can also help your ultrasound tech so we’re not fighting with tight clothing. Please have your online consent form completed prior to your appointment to avoid chewing up your session time.

It was so lovely going in for my first pregnancy and our gender scan was fun and very engaging we used the boy/girl light , the images captured was beautiful and even though baby was a busy bee they were patient and took their time to get the best shots and angles. We Highly recommend for in between scans and images. We will be using again very soon for second bub

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. our scan was amazing. the lady who did it was so lovely. we thought we would have to come back to find out the gender as he wouldn’t move but she was so patient and managed to get him to move so we could find out we were having a little boy. the scan photos are amazing too

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The ladies at Beautiful Begginings are absolutley amazing.

The vibe is always friendly, professional and compassionate.

I've relied and depend on the girls to get me through my 2023 baby and current. Without them I truly do not know how I would get through the constant worries and anxieties we pregnant mums constantly suffer with.

Whether its Medical or Boutique you can always rely on them for whatever you need.

Thank you to all the girls for your awsome work, I truly appreciate it
