Why wait to know if you’re having a boy or a girl? At 4Baby Ultrasound, we offer DNA blood test in Briaroaks, which can determine your baby’s gender as early as 6 weeks!

Our scientists isolate cell-free fetal DNA from the mother’s blood, followed by amplification of both Y-chromosome and autosomal-specific regions using the latest quantitative real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology. To determine the baby’s sex, analysts look for the presence of the Y chromosome, which is only found in male DNA. If the Y chromosome is present, then the baby is a boy; if it is not present, then it’s a girl!
Since we are testing the mother’s blood for fetal DNA of either the X or Y-chromosome, we can confirm both babies are girls if there is no y- chromosome found. If we do find a y- chromosome, we are able to confirm 1 baby is a boy. It is always best to follow up with a gender ultrasound at 14 weeks or later.
From gender testing to 4D ultrasounds and maternity photography, 4Baby Ultrasound in Briaroaks is here to make your journey unforgettable. Call or book online today!
