Gender & Fetal Wellbeing Scan from £140
A clinical-first pregnancy ultrasound combining fetal sex confirmation with a focused wellbeing assessment that includes early anatomy checks. Gender is confirmed when the relevant anatomy is clearly and reliably visualised. We never guess when visualisation is limited.
Gender confirmation with a focused fetal wellbeing assessment.
The appointment remains a clinical ultrasound. The scan includes fetal sex confirmation together with a focused fetal wellbeing assessment, including early anatomy checks of relevant structures visible for the gestation.
Fetal cardiac activity
Heartbeat is confirmed where visible and appropriate for gestation.
Visible fetal movement
Movement is observed during the examination where technically and clinically appropriate.
Fetal position
Baby’s position may be documented where relevant, recognising that position can change throughout pregnancy.
Placenta overview
Placental position or appearance may be reviewed where appropriate and technically visible.
Amniotic fluid overview
Fluid can be reviewed as part of the wellbeing assessment where appropriate to gestation.
Fetal sex confirmation
A core part of the scan from 16+ weeks, with confirmation provided when the relevant anatomy is clearly and reliably visualised.
Early anatomy checks as part of fetal wellbeing.
As part of the Gender & Fetal Wellbeing Scan, the fetal wellbeing assessment includes early anatomy checks of relevant structures that are visible and appropriate for the gestation. This is a useful clinical overview, but it is not a substitute for the structured NHS 20-week screening scan or a dedicated detailed fetal anatomy examination.
Structures we may review
Depending on gestation, fetal position and image quality, this may include an overview of the head and brain, face, spine, four-chamber cardiac appearance, stomach, bladder, kidneys, abdominal wall and limbs.
Important limitation
This is a focused wellbeing and gender scan, not a formal anomaly screening examination. Not every fetal structure is assessed to FASP anatomy-scan protocol, and a reassuring scan cannot exclude all fetal abnormalities.
Your result, your way.
If you want the fetal sex confirmed, tell us whether you would like to know during the scan or prefer the result kept discreet for a reveal.

Simple preparation, professional assessment.
The scan is usually performed through the abdomen. Your appointment is tailored to gestation, fetal position and the reason for booking.
Clear expectations matter.
This appointment provides a focused wellbeing scan and gender confirmation. It does not replace structured fetal screening or specialist assessment.
What this scan is designed for
Fetal sex confirmation from 16+ weeks, focused pregnancy wellbeing appropriate to gestation, early anatomy checks of relevant visible fetal structures, and digital documentation of the examination.
What this scan does not replace
The NHS anomaly scan, a full FASP-style detailed structural assessment, dedicated growth surveillance, fetal Doppler assessment, fetal medicine review, maternity triage or emergency care.
Clinical reporting first, memorable images where possible.
Your Sonographer explains the wellbeing findings and the early anatomy checks completed during the appointment. Fetal sex is documented or communicated only when the view is considered clear and reliable.
Reduced or changed fetal movements later in pregnancy, heavy bleeding, severe or worsening pain, leaking fluid, unexpected contractions, fainting, marked dizziness, fever or feeling very unwell require appropriate NHS maternity assessment.
Detailed answers before you book.
