If you want to know whether you’re expecting a boy or girl then we can perform a gender scan at our ultrasound centre in Alderley Edge, Cheshire at any time after 16 weeks.
Deciding whether you want to find out your baby’s gender is a very personal choice as some people want to leave it as a surprise until the birth. However, knowing if you’re expecting a boy or girl can be useful when you’re choosing names or making other preparations for the birth. It can also be nice to be able to tell friends and family whether you’re expecting a boy or a girl. You might even want to arrange a gender reveal party so that you can share the news with everyone.
If you decide that you do want to know your baby’s sex, then you can arrange a gender scan at our Alderley Edge clinic in Cheshire. Having a sexing scan can be a good idea if you don’t want to wait till your next routine scan (the anomaly scan at 20-24 weeks). As well as enabling you to find out your baby’s gender as soon as possible, arranging this extra ultrasound will also give you a chance to check in on your baby in between the routine scans.
This ultrasound scan is for parents to be who would like to know the sex of their baby earlier than the 20 week anomaly scan offered by the NHS, or if the NHS Sonographer was unable to confirm the sex of your baby during your 20 week anomaly scan. Our sonographers are very accurate (over 99%). If we have any doubt we will invite you for a repeat sexing scan at no extra cost.
