Here’s a guide to some of the best methods to learn and reveal your baby’s gender, starting from as early as six weeks!
1. Early Gender Determination: Blood Tests from 6 Weeks
If you can’t wait to find out whether you’re having a boy or girl, a non-invasive blood test can be done as early as 6 weeks into your pregnancy. This test analyses your baby’s DNA found in your blood, providing a highly accurate result. It’s a great option for those eager to know the gender at the earliest possible time or providing an additional layer of certainty.
2. Traditional Ultrasound Scan: The 16-Week Milestone
By 16 weeks, our skilled sonographers can usually perform a gender reveal with clarity through your scan. This scan not only allows you to see your little one but also offers a reliable way to determine whether you’re having a boy or a girl.
