Private Gender Reveal Pregnancy Scan
The Gender Reveal Pregnancy Scan is a private ultrasound from 16 weeks onwards, priced at £149. It is designed to assess your baby’s sex where visible while also checking fetal heartbeat, position, basic movement, growth measurements, amniotic fluid and placenta.

Private Gender Reveal Pregnancy Scan FAQs
Answers to common questions before booking your gender and wellbeing scan.
When can I have a private gender reveal scan?
London Private Ultrasound offers the Pregnancy Gender Scan from 16 weeks onwards. Before 16 weeks, fetal sex assessment is less reliable, so we recommend waiting until this stage for a dedicated gender reveal appointment.
How much does the Gender Reveal Scan cost?
The private Pregnancy Gender Reveal Scan is £149. The price includes the ultrasound assessment, verbal explanation, keepsake images where obtainable and a same-day digital report.
What is included in the scan?
The appointment includes fetal sex assessment where visible, fetal biometry, heartbeat and position confirmation, amniotic fluid and placenta evaluation, a basic anatomy check for reassurance, and images for keepsake or sharing.
Can you guarantee the baby’s sex?
No ultrasound scan can guarantee fetal sex with 100% certainty. Accuracy depends on gestational age, fetal position, maternal body habitus and image quality. If the baby is not in a suitable position, the sonographer may ask you to walk for a short time before rescanning.
What happens if the gender cannot be seen clearly?
If the baby’s position prevents reliable sex determination during the appointment, you can usually be rebooked free of charge at a convenient time, subject to clinic policy and clinical suitability.
Can you keep the result a surprise?
Yes. If you do not want to hear the result during the appointment, tell the sonographer before the scan starts. We can write the result down or send it confidentially to a nominated family member or friend for a reveal celebration.
Does the scan check my baby’s wellbeing too?
Yes. This is a gender and wellbeing scan. The sonographer also checks fetal heartbeat, position, basic movement, amniotic fluid, placenta and basic growth measurements within the scope of this appointment.
Is this the same as an anomaly scan?
No. The Gender Reveal Scan includes a basic reassurance check, but it is not a full anomaly or detailed anatomy scan. If you need a detailed fetal structural assessment, the Anomaly / Anatomy Scan is the more appropriate appointment.
Will I receive images?
Yes. Representative images are usually provided for keepsake or sharing when obtainable. Image quality depends on fetal position, gestation and technical factors.
Will the genital image be included in the report?
It is not customary to include representative images of the baby’s genitalia in the report. The sonographer can explain the basis for the conclusion during the appointment.
When will I receive my report?
A digital report with relevant images is normally emailed on the same day as your appointment.
Do I need a GP or midwife referral?
No. You can book directly without a GP or midwife referral. Please continue routine NHS antenatal care and bring any pregnancy notes or previous scan reports if you have them.
Can my partner or family attend?
A partner or support person can usually attend, subject to room capacity and clinic policy. Please contact the clinic before attending with multiple guests.
Do I need a full bladder?
For many scans around 16 weeks, a moderately full bladder can help improve image quality. Please follow any preparation instructions given at booking.
What if I am earlier than 16 weeks?
If you are earlier than 16 weeks, a reassurance or dating scan may be more suitable. For a dedicated fetal sex assessment, please book from 16 weeks onwards.
Can this scan identify twins or multiple pregnancy?
If visible, the sonographer can comment on single or multiple pregnancy during the scan. If you already know you have a multiple pregnancy, please mention this when booking.
Can the scan detect abnormalities?
The sonographer may identify some obvious concerns during the wellbeing review, but this is not a comprehensive fetal anomaly scan and cannot rule out all abnormalities.
What if something concerning is found?
If the sonographer identifies a concern, this will be explained within professional scope and documented in your report. You may be advised to contact your NHS maternity unit, midwife, GP or an appropriate specialist service.
Can I also book a growth scan?
Yes. The existing LondonSono Gender Scan page notes that patients can alternatively book a Growth and Wellbeing Ultrasound Scan and receive gender assessment as a complimentary part of that appointment when visible.
Where is the scan performed?
Appointments are available through London Private Ultrasound, including the Central London clinic at 27 Welbeck Street and the St Albans clinic at 54–56 Victoria Street, depending on availability for this service.
