Gender Identification

From late in the first trimester of 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.

Because your baby is very small at this stage an internal scan (trans-vaginal) will be necessary from 13 weeks.

From 16 weeks or later in pregnancy we would do a conventional scan via your tummy (trans-abdominal).

Provided that good views are obtained the accuracy of our predictions should be at least 95%.

Should you wish to know the sex of the baby during any pregnancy scan please ask before your scan starts because we do not routinely record the gender.

There is no charge for Gender Identification during any of our routine pregnancy trans-abdominal scans.

If an internal scan is required in addition to your routine trans-abdominal scan there will be an additional £50 charge.

We also provide short, lower cost Gender Identification bookings specifically to determine the gender of your baby.

Some parents find this useful where their local NHS service maintains a policy of not revealing this information to the parents.

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