If you are planning a gender reveal, organising ahead, or simply want to know your baby’s s*x earlier than the 20-week scan, the FGIH Gender Blood Test provides an early option based on DNA analysis.

The test can be taken from 6 weeks’ gestation and requires only a single blood sample collected in clinic. Once analysed, results are sent by email, usually within 2-3 working days.

There is no ultrasound involved and no need to wait until later in pregnancy. The test focuses solely on fetal DNA screening for the Y chromosome.

💗 Early testing from 6 weeks
💗 Simple blood draw
💗 Laboratory-processed result

From around 6 weeks’ gestation, small amounts of fetal DNA pass into the mother’s bloodstream via the placenta. The FGIH Gender Blood Test analyses a maternal blood sample to check for the presence of the Y chromosome. If detected, this indicates a male fetus; if not, female.

This is a laboratory-based DNA test, not an ultrasound scan and not a home testing kit. The sample is taken by trained staff using a standard blood draw and processed by a specialist laboratory.

Results are typically sent by email within 2–3 working days of the appointment.

Key points:
✔️ Suitable from 6 weeks
✔️ No scan required*
✔️ Non-invasive and safe
✔️ Fast turnaround

*whilst an ultrasound scan is not required for this test, we do recommend that you have had a scan at some point prior to the blood draw to date the pregnancy.

🔍 Wondering what you’ll see at 8 weeks?

In an early pregnancy scan we are looking for the following:
• to see your baby's heartbeat
• to see if there is one or more babies
• to see if baby is in the right place
• to see the size of baby to give you an estimated due date

This is why many expectant mums choose a private scan - a calm, unrushed environment and expert guidance from qualified sonographers.

If an early look at your baby feels right for you, get in contact with us and book in your scan today.

We’ve had a number of enquiries about SneakPeek testing. SneakPeek has ceased trading in the UK, meaning their finger-prick gender tests are no longer available to UK customers.

If you’re looking for an alternative way to find out your baby’s biological s*x early in pregnancy, the FGIH Gender Blood Test at FirstSight Scans is a reliable option.

This test uses maternal blood taken via a professional blood draw and screens for tiny fragments of fetal DNA circulating in your bloodstream - including detection of the Y chromosome to determine if you’re carrying a boy. It is non-invasive and safe for both mother and baby.

We offer this test from 6 weeks’ gestation, with results usually emailed within 2–3 working days of your appointment. Samples are taken in clinic by trained staff and taken directly to the laboratory for analysis, helping avoid delays linked to postal kits.

Just a few weeks apart—but what a difference 🖤

At 7 weeks, baby is around the size of a blueberry.
You can see the flickering heartbeat and yolk sac, which supports the developing embryo.

By 9 weeks, baby is around the size of a grape. You'll see the start of baby's head, arms and legs forming.

At 11 weeks, baby is around the size of a lime. You may see the shape of the head, limbs, and even movement.

The scans are part of our Early Pregnancy Scan appointments (6–16 weeks)—offering peace of mind and the incredible first sight of your baby.

Unsure how far along you are in your pregnancy?

Knowing your due date can aid with scheduling your midwife appointments and NHS scans.

Early pregnancy scans (from 6 weeks) use a CRL measurement (crown to rump length) to provide an estimated due date based on your baby's growth.

Curious about what stage you're at in your pregnancy? We're here to help.
