Clinical wellbeing assessment

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.

01

Fetal cardiac activity

Heartbeat is confirmed where visible and appropriate for gestation.

02

Visible fetal movement

Movement is observed during the examination where technically and clinically appropriate.

03

Fetal position

Baby’s position may be documented where relevant, recognising that position can change throughout pregnancy.

04

Placenta overview

Placental position or appearance may be reviewed where appropriate and technically visible.

05

Amniotic fluid overview

Fluid can be reviewed as part of the wellbeing assessment where appropriate to gestation.

06

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

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.

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.

Gender & wellbeing scan FAQs

Detailed answers before you book.

Common questions about timing, fetal sex accuracy, baby position, wellbeing checks, reports, preparation, reveal options and scan limitations.

What is a Gender & Fetal Wellbeing Scan?
This is a private pregnancy ultrasound from around 16 weeks that includes fetal sex confirmation as a core part of the appointment, together with a focused fetal wellbeing assessment and early anatomy checks.
How much is the Gender & Fetal Wellbeing Scan?
The scan is £140 at Tunbridge Wells and Orpington and £185 at Canary Wharf.
When can I book a gender scan?
UKSONO recommends booking from around 16 weeks. Earlier assessment can be less reliable because fetal position and gestational development may limit the view.
How accurate is fetal sex confirmation at 16 weeks?
Sex confirmation can be highly reliable when the relevant anatomy is clearly visualised, but no ultrasound view should be guessed. If the view is not clear, we explain the limitation rather than provide an uncertain answer.
Can you keep the gender result secret for a reveal?
Yes. If requested, the result can be communicated discreetly so you can use it for a gender reveal.
What if the baby's position makes gender difficult to see?
Fetal position can prevent a clear view. We do not guess when the anatomy is not confidently visualised. The Sonographer will explain the limitation and the options available after the scan.
What wellbeing checks are included?
The scan includes a focused assessment appropriate to gestation, including fetal cardiac activity, visible movement, fetal position, placental and amniotic fluid overview where appropriate, plus early anatomy checks of relevant fetal structures visible for the gestation.
Does this scan include a full anatomy or anomaly assessment?
No. The fetal wellbeing assessment includes early anatomy checks of relevant structures visible for the gestation, but this remains a focused wellbeing and gender scan rather than a complete FASP-style fetal anatomical survey. It does not replace the NHS anomaly scan or a dedicated detailed anatomy scan.
Can this scan measure the baby's growth?
A limited measurement may be obtained where clinically appropriate, but this scan is not a dedicated Growth & Wellbeing Scan. If your main concern is fetal size, growth trend, estimated fetal weight or fluid assessment, a dedicated growth scan is more suitable.
Will I receive a report and images?
You receive a same-day Medifile report, digital images and short baby clips where obtainable and recorded. Diagnostic documentation remains the clinical priority.
Do I need a GP or midwife referral?
No. You can self-refer and book directly.
Do I need a full bladder?
Preparation varies with gestation and scan conditions. Follow any instructions provided with your booking. A full bladder is usually less important later in pregnancy than in very early pregnancy.
Can this scan replace my NHS scans?
No. Private gender and wellbeing scans complement NHS maternity care. Continue all NHS antenatal appointments, screening and the routine anomaly scan.
Can ultrasound detect every fetal abnormality?
No. Ultrasound has recognised limitations and cannot exclude every fetal condition. Image quality can be affected by gestation, fetal position, maternal factors and the scope of the examination.
When should I seek urgent NHS maternity assessment instead?
Seek prompt NHS maternity assessment for reduced or changed fetal movements later in pregnancy, heavy bleeding, severe or worsening pain, leaking fluid, contractions when not expected, fainting, marked dizziness, fever or if you feel very unwell.
