Two ways to find out
Same scan, same price. The only question is who hears the answer first. (We call the session Gender Confirmation, because most families come to confirm. It works just the same for finding out.)
Out loud
Bring your family and friends. We put your baby on the big screen, find the answer and say it. If the view is clear, you leave knowing.
- Good for: partners who can’t wait, grandparents, big brothers and sisters.
- Bring: your people.
Sealed
Tell us it’s a secret before you lie down. The screens stay off, we find the answer, and it goes into an envelope nobody can see through.
- Good for: reveal parties, cakes and confetti.
- The sealed envelope comes with any gender session, at no charge. Ask for it when you book.
The envelope has one job.
It keeps a secret until you’re ready, and it’s made for people who can’t be trusted around a secret.
- Thick, opaque parchment.
- Sealed twice.
- Screens off. During a secret session the big screens stay dark.
The sealed envelope comes with any gender session, at no charge. The secret session itself costs the same as any other gender scan.

When to come
We book gender scans from 13 weeks, earlier than most studios. If you can wait until 15, do: we’re more confident, and a second look is less likely.
13 and 14 weeks
The earliest we book. Often we can tell. When we can’t be sure, we say so, and you come back for a free re-check.
15 weeks and later
The surest time. A second look is less likely.
Twins or triplets
Come at 14 to 15 weeks, and tell us when you book. Each baby gets their own answer.
From 16 weeks
You can also find out during a 4D session, if you’d like to know.
999 in 1,000
How sure is the answer?
By our own count, when we give an answer from about 14 weeks on, it is right 999 times in 1,000.
No ultrasound can promise 100%. Babies cross their legs, sit on their feet and turn away. That’s why we never guess: if the view isn’t clear, we tell you, and the re-check is free.
What happens at a gender scan
- You book. Online or by phone. Same-day appointments are often available.
- You tell us the plan. Out loud, or sealed. If it’s a secret, say so again before you lie down.
- We look. It’s a 2D scan, and it takes as long as a clear view takes. If your baby is being shy, we take longer.
- You hear the heartbeat. And we tell you the heart rate.
- You get the answer, and your pictures. 8 black-and-white prints, or 20 and a USB drive with Gender Confirmation + USB.

Before you find out
Eight guides to boy or girl: when and how you can find out, how sure a scan is week by week, why a call can be wrong, and what to do with the answer.
When can you find out your baby’s gender? Every way, week by week
Blood tests, scans and the anatomy scan on one timeline, with how sure each one is.
Can you find out the gender at 12 weeks?
What a scan can show at 12 weeks, what the studies found, and why waiting a week or more helps.
How accurate is a gender ultrasound at 13, 14, 15 and 16 weeks?
What the studies found week by week, why calls get surer, and what lowers accuracy.
Nub theory: how it works and how accurate it is
Where the angle method came from, what the studies found, and why a photo guess isn’t the same test.
Can an ultrasound be wrong about the gender?
Why a call can go wrong, how a careful sonographer guards against it, and what to do if results disagree.
“90% sure it’s a girl”: what a sonographer’s confidence means
What a sonographer’s percentage does and doesn’t mean, what to ask, and when to buy pink or blue.
Boy or girl? What changes when you find out early
What knowing early changes for planning, names and shopping, and why waiting is fine too.
How to plan a gender reveal party, step by step
Eight steps in order, from keeping the secret at your scan to the moment the color comes out.
Questions about finding out
Can you tell at 12 weeks?
Sometimes, but rarely with confidence, so we book from 13 weeks. If you can wait until 15, we’re more confident, and a second look is less likely.
What if you can’t tell?
Then we tell you that, instead of guessing. You come back for a free re-check.
I’ve already been told. Can you check?
Yes. That’s a Gender Confirmation: the same session, for a second look.
Why can you tell earlier than my doctor’s office?
Many offices don’t look until the anatomy scan, around 18 to 20 weeks, and that scan has a long list of medical things to check. A gender scan has one question to answer. Ours is not a medical exam and doesn’t replace that scan.
Are there other ways to find out early?
Yes. A blood test ordered by your doctor or midwife can report the baby’s sex from about 10 weeks. A scan is the one where you get to watch.
Is this 2D or 4D?
A gender scan is a 2D scan: the classic black-and-white picture, which is the clearest way to see what we’re looking for. From 16 weeks you can find out during a 4D session instead.
Do I need to do anything to get ready?
Almost nothing. Know how many weeks you are, decide whether the answer is a secret, and decide who’s coming. Your visit has the short checklist.
