Gender Identification | Baby's Sex

14 - 38 Weeks of Pregnancy

We provide Gender Identification bookings specifically to determine the gender of your baby.

Our patients find this useful where their local NHS service maintains a policy of not revealing the baby's sex to the parents.

From 14 weeks into your pregnancy we can tell whether your baby will be a boy or a girl provided a clear view of the sex organs is obtained.

When good views are obtained the accuracy of our prediction is 95%.

Gender Identification is performed using conventional 2D ultrasound technology. There is no advantage or greater accuracy in using 4D scanning.

Some useful information relating to our Gender Identification Service:

  • Cost of the service is based on a conventional scan via the tummy (trans-abdominal)
  • It may be necessary to perform an internal scan (trans-vaginal) especially from 14 - 16 weeks
  • If an internal scan is required in addition to your trans-abdominal scan there will be an additional £50 charge
  • During Gender Identification Scans we don't perform any other measurements or assessment of your baby
  • If you require more comprehensive checks on your baby you should book a Fetal Welfare Scan.
  • Gender Identification is included at no extra cost
  • There is no charge for Gender Identification during any of our routine pregnancy trans-abdominal scans after 14 weeks gestation

Should you wish to know the sex of the baby during any routine pregnancy scan after 14 weeks gestation please ask before your scan starts because we do not routinely seek to establish the gender of babies.

You should be aware that our charges are based on professional time, so you will be charged for a Gender Identification Scan even if we are unable to clearly see the sex of your baby.
