This stage of pregnancy is often filled with excitement and anticipation for the expectant mother and her family. Two common questions frequently arise regarding gender determination: when can it be identified, and how long does it take during an ultrasound? Gender can generally be detected from around 15 weeks of pregnancy, often without difficulty. The time required to determine the baby's gender largely depends on the baby's position. In most cases, we can identify the gender within a few minutes. However, we don't stop at the first identification; we continue to verify the gender from multiple angles during the ultrasound to ensure accuracy.
If you're wondering what to expect during your first visit to Sweet Cheeks 3D 4D for gender determination, here's a brief overview. Upon arrival, our welcoming reception team will greet you with a smile, ensuring you feel comfortable and at ease while you wait. It’s natural to feel a mix of excitement and nerves, but our staff is here to support you and make your experience as pleasant as possible before your scan begins.
As your ultrasound appointment approaches, you'll be guided to a cozy and welcoming room designed for your comfort. With ample seating, including comfortable sofas, there's plenty of space for your family and friends to join in this special moment. We also encourage siblings to be part of the experience, recognizing the joy it brings to the entire family. The ultrasound will be displayed on a large screen, allowing everyone to share in the excitement of seeing your baby for the first time.
We begin each scan by showing your baby in 2D, even if you're here for a 4D or HD session, as gender determination is most accurate in 2D. Since 4D and HD imaging build upon 2D scans, this step is essential. Depending on your baby’s position, we’ll either focus on determining the gender first or start by listening to your baby’s heartbeat.
If we’re able to determine the gender, we’ll share it with you and display it on the screen, unless you prefer to keep it a surprise for a gender reveal. In that case, we’ll discreetly turn off the screen, secure the images revealing the gender in an envelope, and then reactivate the screen so you can continue watching your baby move and kick. We’ll capture several keepsake images for you to treasure. By the end of this memorable session, you’ll be ready to start preparing for your little one’s arrival!
