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.

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.

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.
