Expecting parents often ask: “How much does it cost to get a 3D ultrasound?” The short answer is that prices vary across provinces, usually between $70 and $300 depending on the package.
But here’s the good news: UC Baby makes sure you get more than just a scan—you get a trusted, memorable, and professionally standardized experience.
Why Do Pregnancy Ultrasound Costs Differ?
The cost of a 3D/4D/5D ultrasound can change depending on:
- The province and city you’re in
- The type of package (heartbeat, gender reveal, full 3D/5D session)
- Add-ons like photos, videos, or stuffed animals with your baby’s heartbeat
Some providers may advertise a “low entry price,” but extras like recordings, live streaming, or professional staff often cost more.
With UC Baby, everything is designed for your comfort, safety, and the best bonding experience possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About 3D Ultrasound Costs in Canada
❓ Is 3D ultrasound covered by insurance in Canada?
Elective ultrasounds like UC Baby are not covered by provincial health insurance plans. But some extended insurance plans cover UC Baby’s elective ultrasound services. We advise our clients to review their private insurance plans to determine how much of the elective ultrasound tests are covered. You can submit your invoice to your extended health insurance after your session at UC Baby to get the covered portion of your payment.
❓ What’s the difference between 3D, 4D, and 5D ultrasounds?
- 3D ultrasound shows still, life-like images of your baby.
- 4D ultrasound adds real-time video, letting you watch movements like yawns or kicks.
- 5D ultrasound uses enhanced imaging technology for even clearer views with natural skin tones.
❓ When is the best time to book a 3D ultrasound?
The ideal window is between 22 and 32 weeks. Earlier scans are great for gender determination and watching the movements of the baby, while later scans show more detailed facial features and fewer movements.
❓ Are 3D ultrasounds safe for my baby?
Yes. UC Baby follows strict Canadian safety standards, using the same ultrasound technology used in hospitals worldwide for decades.
