Early Pregnancy Scans St Helens - Hello Baby

What's a 13-week gender scan?

Here at Hello Baby, we’re proud to offer gender scans, also known as a sexing scan, which, as the name suggests, is a scan to determine the sex of your baby. This fantastic service brings you even closer to your little one, increases the anticipation, and gives you the chance to start preparing for the arrival of your baby boy or girl.

A gender ultrasound scan at Hello Baby can take place from as little as 13 weeks into your pregnancy, so you can find out your baby’s gender early.

Did you know… 

Our early gender scans are 99.99% accurate, based on a study where we scanned 100 ladies between 12 and 13 weeks – 60 of which returned with gender confirmation at 14 weeks and were all 99.9% correct.

Gender confirmation can be affected by several factors including BMI, previous scar tissue, or the position of your baby during your scan.

Please note: 13 week gender scans are carried out by Katie, our ultrasound technician. Our Sonographer, Elizabeth, carries out gender scans from 14 weeks.

Gender Scans - Hello Baby

What to expect during your scan

When you arrive at our bespoke facility for your baby scan, our friendly team will welcome you and any family or friends accompanying you to the big reveal. Feel free to ask them any questions you may have about the baby scan services we provide – our staff are dedicated to making you feel as comfortable as possible during your visit.

The baby scanning appointment should take around 30 minutes, with the actual scan taking between 10-15 minutes – during a multiple pregnancy, such as twins, triplets, quadruplets or quintets, you’ll likely be given a longer time slot to ensure your baby scan is more accurate.

During your appointment, you’ll discover the gender of your baby, gain a sneak peek of your treasured one in spectacular 4D and hear their precious heartbeat. Plus, you’ll also receive video clips and digital scan images to treasure for life.

However, if you’re planning a special gender reveal party and wish to keep the sex of the baby secret for now, we can provide you with the baby’s gender result in a sealed envelope instead.

Please note: 13 week gender scans are carried out by Katie, our ultrasound technician. Our Sonographer, Elizabeth, carries out gender scans from 14 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to Hello Baby for my gender scan?

Located in St Helens, Merseyside, the Hello Baby clinic is really easy to get to! St Helens is situated between Liverpool and Manchester, so is easily accessible by car and public transport alike.

If you’re visiting us via car, just exit the M62 at Junction 7 and we’re less than 10 minutes away.

However, if you’re visiting us by train, we’re a handy 3-minute walk away from Thatto Heath station, which is a convenient stop on the Merseytravel Liverpool to Wigan City Line.

If you’d like further guidance on how to reach us and where to park, don’t hesitate to contact our helpful reception team on 01744 810 999, and they’ll be happy to assist you.

How should I prepare for my sexing scan?

Finding out the sex of your baby is an exciting time!

Although there are always some factors that will affect whether we’re able to successfully carry out your scan, if you follow these few simple steps, your results will be greatly improved:

  • Relax – if you’re tensed up and unsettled, your little one will be able to feel your tension and won’t want to move around! So, if you can, try to let go of any stresses, or speak to a team member if you’re struggling.
  • Drink enough water – if you’ve booked your scan for 20 weeks or under, it’s better to have a full bladder to gain clearer results.
  • Keep active – if you’ll be driving for a while, make sure you set time aside to walk around before your scan to get your baby moving a little.
  • Enjoy something sweet – having a fizzy drink and/or a sweet snack, like a bar of chocolate, 20 minutes before your appointment with us to help encourage fetal movement.

If you have any further questions about your scan, whether it’s how you need to prepare prior to or what happens during the process, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.

How accurate is a 13 week gender scan?

As the 13-week scan is the very first week in pregnancy that your baby is viewable on ultrasound – at this point, your baby is around the size of a lime – it is important to bear in mind that there is always a chance a gender scan at 13 weeks could be incorrect.

Like all scanning facilities, we can’t promise 100% accuracy on the gender of your baby at 13 weeks, but we can certainly come pretty close!

Thanks to our super-modern technology, gender scans at Hello Baby have been shown to be 99.99% accurate!

This level of accuracy was determined by a study where we scanned 100 ladies between 12 and 13 weeks.

Are you looking to book your gender scan and find out the sex of your baby? If so, feel free to book your appointment using our online booking service, or alternatively call our clinic on 01744 810 999

Will my scan detect any abnormalities?

The scans we offer at Hello Baby are designed to give you a sneak peek of your bundle of joy, for keepsake purposes only.

But, if we do notice anything unusual or concerning during your scan, we will refer you to the correct team within the NHS for further medical investigation and a professional opinion.

You must still attend your routine NHS appointments and scans to keep an eye on the health of your little one. It’s here that they’ll perform a well-being check and anomaly scan between 18-21 weeks to check for any abnormalities during pregnancy.

Customer Feedback

  • Rachel Wright ★★★★★
    We came to the clinic on NYE and the process was so smooth. Quick questionnaire then on time for the appointment.
    We didn’t want to know the gender and the girls were amazing with it!
    The scan was so clear and it was such a lovely experience
    … More being in the room and seeing our baby.
    We took our own gender reveal idea with us that the girls very kindly filled for us and popped in a black bag so we couldn’t see until we did the gender reveal.
    Amazing prices. Amazing staff. Amazing clinic and the most special end to our 2023.
    We're having a wonderful baby boy! Thank you so much 🩵💙🤍
  • Heidi Brown ★★★★★
    I’ve been to Hello Baby 3 times in my pregnancy and each time has been amazing . The staff are literally the nicest people . I went to another scan place early on in my pregnancy and it was awful and was recommended after that to here . … More The place is spotless and always smells lovely inside when you walk in . Nothing is too much trouble.

  • Amy Cookson ★★★★★
    What a lovely service. The 2 ladies couldn't have been more helpful. I have been here for scans with my twins, my little boy and then returned to have a scan to confirm my miscarriage. We didn't get much support from the hospital … More and hello baby rang me a week after to ask if I needed any advice, support and were just overall lovely. I'm returning Saturday for a gender scan for our rainbow baby.
    Such a lovely welcoming service with staff that really do care and treat you like friends x
  • Rebecca TOPPING ★★★★★
    I've been to Hello Baby a number of times throughout two pregnancies. Every time we have visited we've had a lovely experience. The first we visited was over 3 years ago when I was pregnant with my son. Ive been again more recently … More to see my second baby.
    The girls in there are lovely and super helpful! Will definitely be back again for future scans x
  • Kieran Thomas ★★★★★
    We met the girls at hello baby when we reached just 6 weeks. We’ve had 4 scans with them so far and each one has been the perfect experience.
    The girls are incredibly welcoming, reassuring and make you feel at ease on every visit.
    We can’t
    … More thank them enough for the moments and memories they’ve given us, getting to see our little one grow, to finding out the gender.
    We’ll most definitely be back for a 4D scan later on in our pregnancy. Thank you ! X
  • Kayt Haxby ★★★★★
    Honestly had the BEST experience at Hello Baby.
    We had a rocky start to our pregnancy so we have been to hello baby 3 times now just so we can feel reassured and one of which was for our gender scan. We have been made to feel welcome and
    … More comfortable every single time, but today has outdone the previous experiences by far. And they were already hard to beat.
    The lady who scanned my wife spent extra time with us, no rushing, evening helped get our baby moving around so we could see him better. She gave us a plenty time, and then even went the extra mile and gave us a tiny glimpse of him in 4D.
    We cannot recommend them enough. Friendly staff, great atmosphere and all round GREAT experience! Deffo worth going! 🥰🥰
  • Harriet Wall ★★★★★
    Had our gender scan today and took the kids so they could be part of it. We travelled quite far for the scan and was well worth it! Really welcoming staff and excellent service at the scan. Scan was really clear and we could clearly see … More he was a boy 💙💙 would definitely recommend.
  • And ★★★★★
    Loved our experience at Hello Baby 😃 been here twice ... once in 2018, and again in February 2021. I wanted the gender of my baby kept a surprise as we wanted a gender reveal cannon, and they did not disappoint or give anything away! Staff … More are very friendly and polite. Thank you so much again! Would recommend 5***
  • Merf.Wendy Price ★★★★★
    I came here for a private scan because I was not sure how far gone I was. I got a shock to realise I was already half way through pregnancy and I was having a boy. Came here again for a bonding scan and got some lovely photos. The staff … More were really friendly and I enjoyed the experience. Would definitely recommend xxx
  • Kayla H ★★★★★
    Lovely experience for our first scan! We went for an early reassurance scan and that’s exactly what we got. We turned up at the wrong time but they still fitted us in there and then no waiting around. Would recommend to others in the future … More
  • Jane Jones ★★★★★
    Amazing Experience
    I came to Hello Baby with my daughter for an Early and Bonding Scan, unfortunately they was closed for the gender due to lockdown.
    We had the best experience on both occasions, the receptionist was lovely and friendly
    … More and Katie was fantastic and very professional with what she does.
    On my daughters 1st scan she was too early to detect a heart beat so Katie very kindly offered us to come back the following week for a re scan. It was emotional to hear Katie offering her congratulations the following week and we got the best pictures you can get at such a early date.
    The bonding scan, Katie tried her best and wasn’t going to give up as the baby was in the wrong position, we was told to go for a walk and for my daughter to drink a lucozade.
    Upon our return, the baby had moved position and Katie again got us some amazing images.
    Everybody we met at Hello Baby was warm, welcoming and friendly, nothing was to much trouble and wasn’t rushed.
    We was asked on each occasion if we was happy with the scan pictures before buying them.
    Would definitely recommend and wouldn’t go any where else.
    Thank you Katie and team 💕
