Having a Gender Scan in London Harley St? |
It is time to find out if you’re having a little boy or a little girl… What colour does the nursery need to be? A Gender Scan in London Harley St, at one of our Babybond clinics, is performed by a fully qualified sonographer from 16 weeks. You can even share the surprise with friends and family by inviting up to 5 guests to come with you for your Gender Scan, or at home with some of our unique gender reveal ideas.
A Gender Scan in London Harley St at our clinic is private and 99% accurate. No Gender Scan, no matter who or where it is performed is ever 100% accurate however, we have 20 years of experience in confirming the gender of thousands of babies with a close-to perfect record; meaning you can book your Babybond Gender Scan in London Harley St with peace of mind.
Our highly accurate* professional opinion is based on a dedicated protocol and experience since 1998 using 2D ultrasound to show parents the sex of their baby.
*Please note ultrasound alone can never provide a 100% guarantee of the sex of your baby, however our experience in providing accurate gender opinions is the foremost in the UK.
Your Gender Scan in London Harley St will last 15 minutes, which includes reception and reporting time. It will be performed by a qualified healthcare professional who will also be checking the wellbeing of your baby. We have successfully performed hundreds of thousands of Gender Scans since Ultrasound Direct was founded 20 years ago.
For the best view possible you can watch the scan on a large screen in front of you, and children are invited to share the exciting news. We will show and explain the view we need to be able to tell the gender of the baby. For some it may take time to see and for others it will be very obvious. If the baby is in a good position, we should be able to perform a 4DFREEVIEW and will try to get some complimentary 4D pictures. You may be lucky to see them sucking their thumb or playing with their umbilical cord – it’s an amazing sneak preview of what your baby will be like when they are finally born.
Please tell the Sonographer at the start of your appointment if you want the gender hidden during your scan: perfect if you are holding a Gender Reveal party! We offer many additional Gender Scan options that parents adore including gender reveal cannons and scratch cards.

More detail on our Gender Scan in London Harley St
**4D FREEVIEW
This scan includes viewing your baby in live 4D from available views at no extra charge. Please note that 4DFREEVIEW is a free option and if your baby’s position is not favourable for aesthetics on the day, we cannot offer a free rescan for this reason.

*** Our rescan policy |
The quality of your Gender Scan in London Harley St is important to us and is dependent on your baby's position. Whilst obtaining the best results on the day, we may stop scanning and ask you to take a short gentle walk in the local area.
If, in our healthcare professional’s opinion, we’re not able to complete the primary purpose of your scan because your baby's position is still not favourable, or the baby’s head circumference measurement shows as less than 16 weeks by our system which allows us to determine the gender of your baby, we will offer you a rescan at a later date. If this is not possible due to your gestation, other options will be discussed with you.
