What to expect from your private gender scan

Is it a boy or a girl? Lots of parents can’t wait to find out their baby’s gender, and if this is you, we’re here to provide an answer.

As early as 15 weeks into your pregnancy, you can visit our qualified midwife sonographers for a relaxed, expert private gender scan. We ask that you bring your NHS dating scan report with you so that your estimated due date (EDD) and pregnancy dates can be confirmed.

During your gender reveal scan, you’ll receive a wellbeing check that goes beyond what you’ll find elsewhere, covering fetal weight, placental position, and much more. This provides you with peace of mind alongside the excitement of knowing your baby’s gender.

We can reveal your baby’s gender with our specialised lighting, or keep the result a secret so that you can find out later down the line. Book with our friendly team, and rest assured that you’re in the right hands when you visit.

Our first time visiting Little Peek, and we will definitely be returning for another reassurance scan later on! Such a lovely, calm atmosphere, staff lovely and friendly. Felt very welcomed. Emma was honestly so lovely and amazing, so reassuring during this scan at our 19 weeks of pregnancy, after a few concerns over the weekend that were clarified medically in other ways, but not visually. It was wonderful to see our baby girl again, happy & healthy, full of beans! Thank you so much for explaining everything to us in great detail, we honestly left feeling so happy & relaxed!

The little peek baby ultrasound team were amazing from the warm and friendly receptionist to our wonderful sonographer Emma. Emma was so friendly, reassuring and thorough. She provided me with information I didn’t know prior to the scan and gave me peace of mind. I absolutely could not recommend them more, wonderful experience.

Me and my partner are over the moon that we chose Little Peek for our baby scans. The service right from the front desk set a lovely, welcoming and calm environment which continued in the scan room. Emma was extremely patient and listened to every single worry I had about this pregnancy due to past experiences. I was reassured lots and Emma made sure she communicated through every step she was doing. Our appointments never felt rushed and to have someone so professional yet so connected to her clients needs and worries is an experience I never thought I’d be able to get. I cannot recommend Little Peek enough, especially Emma, as she made both scans feel very special❤️

This is my second visit to Little Peek Baby Ultrasound and again I am beyond happy with the service provided. Everything was explained thoroughly in detail before the scan took place. The lady that greeted us at reception was really kind and welcoming. Emma who performed the scan never disappoints. She makes the scan feel super special just now it should, and explains everything that is going on. I would recommend Little Peek to anyone who is looking for early reassurance scans, gender scans, or simply just to see their baby more often than the 2 scans offered by the NHS. Extremely reasonable prices with a very calm, warm, welcoming atmosphere. Thank you so much Emma and team, you're all wonderful!

FAQ's

Our Little Peek Gender Scan is available from 15 weeks of pregnancy, based on the due date confirmed at your NHS dating scan (which is usually performed around 12 weeks).

Please bring your NHS dating scan report to your appointment so we can confirm that you’re at least 15 weeks pregnant on the day. Dates from your last period, pregnancy apps, an earlier private scan, or your own calculations may differ, so we use your NHS due date.

If your NHS dates show that you’re less than 15 weeks pregnant, we won’t be able to determine your baby’s gender at that appointment.

If we can’t confirm your NHS due date and we’re unable to confidently identify your baby’s gender, a free rescan or refund will not be available.

If you’re unsure about your dates or which report to bring, please contact our friendly team before booking, we’re happy to help.

You must also be aged 18 or over to have a scan with us.

Our experienced midwife sonographers check carefully before sharing your baby’s gender, but no ultrasound assessment can be guaranteed to be 100% accurate.

Sometimes your baby’s position makes it difficult to get a clear view. If this happens, we may suggest a little walk or a change of position before taking another look.

If we still can’t confidently identify your baby’s gender, we’ll offer a free rescan, provided your NHS dating scan report confirms that you’re at least 15 weeks pregnant on the day of your appointment.

Please remember to bring your report with you. If we can’t confirm your NHS due date and we’re unable to determine your baby’s gender, a free rescan or refund will not be available.

No problem! We have beautiful gender reveal cards in a sealed envelope that we can give you, ensuring that the secret is kept until you are ready to find out during the big reveal!

You can bring up to 5 guests to your 15-week gender scan to share in this magical moment together.

You can upgrade your experience by adding a digital image and video package, extra scan photos, a heartbeat bear, or a gender reveal cannon to your booking. These can also be purchased in the clinic after your scan.

We ask that you don’t take any photos or videos during the scan itself, so that our sonographer can focus on your scan experience and make sure we’re creating a calm, reassuring environment. This also allows you and your guests to fully immerse yourselves in the moment.

You can, however, film the gender reveal once the scan has concluded. We just ask that you let us know about this when you arrive, so that we can accommodate your reveal without you or your guests feeling rushed during your appointment.

All our scans are non-diagnostic, and the primary purpose of this scan is to determine gender. But, on the rare occurrence that your scan identifies any issues, we will ensure that (with your consent) you will be referred to the most appropriate practitioner directly. This may be your midwife, GP, antenatal consultant, maternity triage, early pregnancy unit, A&E, or the local fetal medicine department.
