Advantages of a Private Gender Scan

Families have a lot of reasons why they should get a gender scan. Some of the advantages of the scan are:

It Helps in Selecting a Name

Choosing the best name for your baby is not an easy task, and twice as long as that takes when you need to identify a name for a girl and for a boy since you do not know the baby’s gender. If you have an idea of the gender of the baby, you can simply concentrate on names that are most suitable for your child’s gender, narrowing down the long list of names that you would otherwise have to come up with by as much as 50%.

Assists in Planning and Organising the Nursery

It is challenging enough to imagine the design and theme of the nursery when you don’t even know the sex of the child. Since the gender scan is early in pregnancy, it gives you enough time to go out and make the ideal nursery for your baby with the ideal colour palette. You will also find it simple to select the appropriate clothes in the correct colour for your child. Getting to know the gender of the baby makes is much easy to plan and buy accessories and clothes for the kid before they arrive.

Helps with Bonding

Many expectant parents feel that calling their baby ‘it’ feels distant, so they prefer to know more about them. Having that connection makes bonding activities like humming lullabies before bedtime more meaningful, and can even inspire ideas for outdoor plans once the baby arrives.

Avoid Uncertainty

Not knowing your baby’s gender can bring up many issues. What colour do you paint the nursery? Do you purchase pants or dresses or both? What kind of toys do you purchase? A gender scan will avoid uncertainty and surprises.

FAQs

What is a Gender Scan?

It is an ultrasound test done in about the middle of pregnancy to ascertain the gender of your baby. It is painless and employs sound waves to generate pictures of the foetus. It is carried out between 18 and 22 weeks. In addition to ascertaining the gender of the baby, the scan also assesses the development and health of the baby.

Who will perform the scan?

All of our Obstetrics scans are carried out by our highly experienced gynaecologist. Besides, all of our gynaecologist are fully qualified with diagnostic obstetric and General ultrasound scanning experience.

How can I prepare for my scan at Gynae UK?

Wear loose comfortable clothing round your stomach and consider avoiding button-up jeans. If you are less than 20 weeks pregnant, ensure you have got a full bladder and don’t visit the toilet prior to the scan. If you are more than 20 weeks, have a cold sweet fizzy drink to wake baby up so we can see them better.

How accurate is the Gender Scan?

Gender scans are very accurate. They are not 100%, but they are quite close and not usually wrong, mostly if the scan is being carried out by a skilled and meticulous gynaecologist.

At Gynae UK, our gender scan is a precise test for identifying the sex of your child, done with a success rate of more than 99.9%.

How soon can you have the gender scan?

With our gender reveal scan, you will be able to discover the sex of your baby from as early as 16 weeks with more than 99.9% accuracy!

In a few cases the gender can be seen sooner, but we advise waiting until you are at least 16 weeks pregnant because the structures within your baby are really small – usually only a few millimetres across which can make it hard to definitely know the sex. As pregnancy advances these small structures to develop and become more substantial, so it is easier to know the gender of the baby.

How long does the gender ultrasound take?

The gender scan is not very long. It lasts about 30 minutes. This is sufficient time for the gynaecologist to perform a thorough check, see everything is in order with your baby’s growth, and ascertain the gender. The duration of the scan may vary, however, based on the position of the baby and how prepared you are.

Are gender scans safe?

Yes, a gender ultrasound is usually safe and does not have any known risks to the baby.

What if you cannot see the sex of the baby during the scan?

We are able to determine the sex of the baby on the first attempt in the majority of scans. But on very occasional cases (<1%), we will not be able to detect the gender confidently. This is typically because of the position of the baby. If we are not able to determine the sex of your baby, your scan will be suspended and you will be asked to move around or have some fluids to attempt to get your baby to move and change position. You will be scanned again to see if the gender is visible from the position. If however after a few tries we are still unable to identify the gender, we will ask you to return for a follow-up scan another day for no charge. You can be rest assured as our gender scan is safe and our clinic has flexible appointments.
