No, a gender scan is not part of routine prenatal care. It is an optional procedure that some parents choose to have based on personal preference, curiosity, or planning needs.

To prepare for a gender scan, follow these guidelines:

• Expect a brief medical history upon arrival
• Please bring along any relevant reports and findings with you
• Schedule the scan from16  weeks of pregnancy for the most accurate results
• Arrive with a full bladder as this can help improve the clarity of the ultrasound images
• While the scan is generally accurate, factors like the baby's position can affect the results. A complimentary re-scan may be offered if the baby is not in an ideal position on the day of the scan
• Wear loose and comfortable clothing for the ease of scan 

If the baby's position or other factors prevent the determination of gender during the scan, we offer a complimentary re-scan to provide another opportunity for accurate assessment.

• Upon your arrival, the healthcare professional will take a brief medical history. During the scan, they will provide detailed explanations throughout the procedure
• The patient  will receive a detailed report of findings including images and a short video clip of the scan
• If there is any immediate need for referral to a GP or hospital, you will receive the necessary report post-scan.

Post  scan you will receive:

• A detailed scan report: A detailed report of findings would be shared for your records
• Three black and white ultrasound pictures: Visual records of early foetus, aiding in monitoring and documenting early developmental stages
• A short complimentary video clip of the ultrasound: Complimentary video clip of the scan with you on your registered email (coloured and extra prints available for a small charge)

Your well-being and your baby's health are our highest priorities. If any problem is identified during your scan, you will be informed by our in-house gynaecologist. With your permission, a necessary referral to a GP or hospital will be made.
