Gender Determination Scan

FIND OUT THE GENDER OF YOUR BABY and CHECK THE WELLBEING.

Scroll down for more details about the Gender Scan.

Please note that we can only tell you the gender if your baby is measuring over 16 weeks + on the day of this scan. This is our firm company policy and we cannot make any exceptions. We charge upfront for all our gender scans. Our machines measure your baby’s size accurately, so if we measure your baby under 16 weeks we cannot disclose fetal sex, and you will still be charged the full price for the wellbeing scan. You will be re-booked for a follow up scan and there is a charge for that scan too. If you are in doubt of your dates, we suggest you book this scan for 18 weeks to ensure that you are not disappointed. Thank you for your understanding.

We always provide a wellbeing scan alongside our gender scan. Some clinics don’t do this for their patients and we feel that this is a disservice to them as many details of the baby can be examined at this stage. We take time to check the growth of your baby by performing multiple measurements as well as examine some of the main organs. We also assess the heart rate, umbilical cord, placenta and amniotic fluid. Not all abnormalities show up at this stage, but we do our very best to look at your baby as thoroughly as possible.  

You may purchase a gender cannon for your gender reveal party on the day of your scan for just €15 extra if you wish.
