However the firm stresses that this kind of scan is only for aesthetic purposes, and as such it will only offer the ultrasound following an all-clear 2D scan. Terry says, "People can get a whole diagnostic scan with us first followed by the 4D scan for aesthetic reasons. And if the diagnostic scan reveals any problems we put our referral links in place and tell them to go back and see their midwife. We wouldn't offer the 4D scan under those circumstances as it wouldn't be ethical."

"They love it. Even for us doing the scanning it has the wow factor. To see an unborn child waving or moving is amazing. And it looks much better in 4D. Sometimes the baby is in an awkward position but we always try our hardest to get the best pictures of the baby. It depends on the lie of the baby and the fluid around it."

Although ultrasound scans have been around for 30 years, debates about their use still continue in the medical community. In 1999 scientists in Dublin, carrying out research on mice, revealed that ultrasounds could be harming the cells of unborn babies, interfering with the delicate tissues in a growing foetus.

Indeed, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recommends that "ultrasound in pregnancy be limited to medically-indicated procedures rather than for purely entertainment purposes".

A spokeswoman for the Royal College of Midwives, says: "The 3D and 4D scans should only be used as a medical necessity.

We're not against the scans and the way they work as they're very clear and good, but you should not be taking pictures because the safety of unnecessary scans is not clear. There's been no research as to whether this is safe. "For aesthetic purposes we do not recommend it. It should only be carried out for medical purposes only."
