Understanding the Early Baby Gender Blood Test

What is an Early Baby Gender Blood Test?

The Early Baby Gender Blood Test is a safe and effective way to determine your baby's sex as early as 6 weeks into pregnancy. This non-invasive test works by analysing the mother's blood for the presence of Y chromosomes. If the Y chromosome is detected, it indicates a baby boy; otherwise, it's a girl. Because it's based on DNA analysis, this test is known for its high accuracy rate, making it an excellent choice for expectant parents eager to know the gender early.

Why Choose an Early Baby Gender Blood Test?

Choosing the Early Baby Gender Blood Test means getting crucial information sooner rather than later. This is not just about curiosity; it allows parents to plan and prepare for their baby's arrival. Additionally, understanding the baby's gender can enhance bonding experiences during pregnancy. However, parents can also choose to keep this information a surprise until birth. It’s a pivotal moment that can add excitement and joy to the pregnancy journey.

How Does the Test Work?

The process for the Early Baby Gender Blood Test is straightforward and convenient. First, a simple blood sample is taken from the mother. This sample is then sent to a lab specialising in prenatal testing. The laboratory will analyse the sample to detect fetal DNA. Results are usually available within a week, providing parents with a timely and accurate answer about their baby's gender. So, it’s a quick and easy procedure that offers peace of mind and a clearer understanding of what to expect.

Our prenatal blood test checks the DNA of your baby from just 6 weeks to identify their gender with SAME DAY Results*.

How to book a test:

Step 1: Book an appointment at a Goodbody Clinic of your choice

Step 2: Visit your chosen clinic where our trained healthcare professional will collect your blood sample using the kit we provide

Step 3: *Receive your result the SAME DAY the sample arrives at the lab if received before 10am. If received after 10am, results available within 2 working days.

Important:

You must ensure you are at least 6 weeks pregnant at the time of taking the test, ideally waiting until 8-10 weeks. If you take the test too early, there will not be enough DNA in your blood sample from the baby to analyse and ascertain the gender. If you are not sure, we recommend using a gestation calculator such as this NHS calculator or waiting a few more weeks for your appointment. Goodbody will issue you a test kit which must be brought to the appointment.

Excellent service

I was seen immediately on arrival and taken straight in for my procedure. The premises were clean and well maintained, and the staff were polite, professional, and very efficient.

Sophie

Results back within 24 hours

I wanted to have a blood test after a previous HbA1c result showed I was in the diabetic range. I had made some lifestyle changes about a month earlier and wanted to check my progress, but my doctor wasn’t able to retest for another two months, so I decided to arrange my own test. Goodbody made the whole process very easy and convenient, with straightforward booking and quick service. I received my results within few days, and my levels had improved, which was really encouraging and motivated me to keep going. It was well worth the cost.

James. S

Sent off for 24hour heart monitor

I ordered a 24-hour heart monitor kit on Friday and had the results by the following Tuesday. The level of service was excellent, especially given the current one-year wait for an NHS Holter monitor in our area!

Grace Lee

Got the PSA results next day

I completed the PSA test with the PSE EpiSwitch Prostate Cancer test in Soho yesterday and posted my samples at Soho Square at 10:30 am. I received my PSA results the very next day—outstanding service! Despite a BRCA genetic mutation, I am happy to report that I am cancer-free. Thank you, EpiSwitch. 5 stars!

Wilson. P

Someone from Goodbody called me to put my mind ease

I recently had a full blood count taken by a very friendly nurse at Superdrug. She completed all my paperwork for me and was incredibly kind. I received my results the next day. Because of my anxiety and having never seen a lab report before, I emailed for some clarification, and to my surprise, someone from Goodbody called me to put my mind at ease. I’m very grateful for the excellent service and will definitely be using them again.

Michael. T

Understanding of my fear of needles

The nurse was incredibly helpful and understanding of my fear of needles, providing constant reassurance and guiding me through the entire process to help take my mind off what was happening.

Illy. C

Definitely recommend

The team was friendly and professional, making the experience completely painless. The clinic was easy to find, with convenient parking available nearby.

Martin. K

You’re in good hands

I visited the clinic for a private blood test and was immediately impressed by the service. They offer a wide range of services, everything feels high quality and professional, and Emma, who attended to us, was fantastic! Whatever service you book here, you can be confident you’re in very capable hands.

Robert

Top notch experience

As someone who regularly needs blood tests due to diabetes, I can honestly say this was the first time I experienced absolutely no pain at all with the needle—truly none! There was also no bruising afterward. It was a really top-notch job and made for an excellent overall experience (something I’ve never said about a blood test before!).

Ashley. P

Friendly and relaxing atmosphere

I found the staff to be friendly, approachable, and highly professional. They explained everything clearly as they carried out the blood draw. The clinic was clean and thoughtfully set up to help patients feel at ease.

Lorra. L

Polite and efficient approach

I was impressed by the company’s focus on clear communication and professionalism. The procedure was quick, well-organised, and ran smoothly with no unnecessary waiting or confusion. I especially appreciated their gentle approach and how they put me at ease, which was reassuring since it was my first blood draw at the clinic.

Simon. S

Amazing service including nurse coming

Outstanding service, including a nurse visiting my home for blood work. Full body scans through Well Man and Well Woman were arranged within three days, including additional scans and tests which i had requested. All organised within two days and delivered directly to my home. Truly convenient and efficient service!

Andrew. B

Made a dreaded blood test so much easier

I had been feeling unwell for three years and had numerous blood tests through my doctor with no clear answers. I decided to try Goodbody Clinic and ordered an at-home menopause test. The results revealed that I have a low thyroid TSH level, and I am so relieved that this issue was finally identified.

Charlie. T

Truly fantastic local service!

From start to finish, the service was exceptional. Booking the appointment was straightforward, and the entire experience was well-organized and impressively quick.

Dmitry. R

Results less than 24 hours later

Even though I arrived at the clinic a few minutes early, I was seen immediately. I received my blood test results in less than 24 hours. Truly brilliant service!
