Want to find out the gender of your unborn child? No problem! When it comes to gender scans, our sonographers are vastly experienced and highly skilled - we can accurately predict sex from 16 weeks' gestation up until roughly the 32 week mark.
However, there's a decision that you'll need to make before you visit the First Encounters clinic: which of our baby gender scan packages best suits your needs? We offer four main gender confirmation scans - here's a quick guide to each of them:
pureGender™
Simple and cost-effective // 18-26 weeks
Costing just£39, this basic sexing scan is a good choice for expectant parents who simply want gender confirmation with no frills or extras. Your pureGender™ appointment will last just 10 minutes (with the scan itself lasting 5 minutes), after which you'll receive the following:
- Gender confirmation
- 2 x glossy black and white photographs (2D)
- Observation report (confirming gender, position, placental site and fluid levels)
- £10 off your next scan
- A gift bag to take home with you
genderAssure™
Our most popular gender scan // 16-32 weeks
genderAssure™ is our standard baby gender scan package - it is a little more in-depth than the pureGender™ scan, but at just £79, this option is still among the most cost-effective on the market. Each appointment takes 20 minutes, with the scan lasting 10 minutes; here's what's included:
- Gender confirmation
- 4 x glossy black and white photographs (2D)
- reAssure™ report (growth measurement, weight, placenta position, fluid volumes, position and heartbeat)
- 1 month's access to photocloud™
- A 4D glimpse of your unborn baby
- £10 off your next scan
- A gift bag to take home with you
genderAssurePlus™
genderAssure™...plus a couple of extras! // 16-32 weeks
This is a deluxe version of our genderAssure™ package. Our genderAssurePlus™ option costs £99, and each appointment lasts for 25 minutes (scan lasts 10 minutes). You'll get everything included in the genderAssure™ scan, as well as the following extras:
- 5 minute DVD recording of your scan
- Heartbeat Bear (a teddy bear featuring your baby's heartbeat!)
4DgenderAssure™
Gender confirmation and 4D baby bonding experience // 20-32 weeks
If you want to combine your baby gender scan with the full 4D ultrasound experience, 4DgenderAssure™ may well be the perfect choice for you. This package costs £99, with appointments lasting 25 minutes and the scan itself taking up 10 minutes; your baby's gender will be revealed using traditional 2D ultrasound techniques, but we'll also use our 4D ultrasound equipment to give you and up to six guests a spectacularly detailed look at your baby's world. You'll also receive the following items:
- Gender confirmation
- 4 x glossy colour photographs (3D)
- reAssure™ report (growth measurement, weight, placenta position, fluid volumes, position and heartbeat)
- A photographic key ring
- £10 off your next scan
- A gift bag to take home with you
This scan package is very similar to our Deluxe4D™ option; the only difference is that you will receive gender confirmation instead of a DVD recording of your scan. If you would like to combine these two packages, try Deluxe4DPlus™.
