Discover everything you need to know about booking a safe, accurate, and memorable gender reveal scan in the Mansfield area.
A gender reveal scan is a non-diagnostic 2D ultrasound performed with one exciting goal: to determine the sex of your baby. As an elective scan, it offers a special bonding experience that sits outside of your routine NHS checks, creating a moment of celebration for you and your family.
For the highest accuracy, the ideal time for this scan is from 15 weeks of gestation. While the NHS may be able to tell you the gender at your 20-week anomaly scan, a private experience in Mansfield is designed specifically for this wonderful milestone.
Choosing a private scan means you can discover your baby’s gender earlier than you might on the NHS. More importantly, it transforms a clinical check into a celebration. Our appointments are longer and more relaxed, giving you the perfect opportunity to invite family and friends to share in the excitement and create a lasting memory together.
While the main event is finding out if you’re having a boy or a girl, your baby’s health is always our top priority. That’s why every gender scan at our Mansfield clinic includes a complimentary wellbeing check. Our qualified sonographers will confirm your baby’s heartbeat, check their development, and give you the priceless reassurance that everything is progressing as it should be in a calm, supportive environment.
Finding a trusted local clinic for such a special moment is crucial. Use our simple 5-point checklist to ensure you’re choosing a safe, professional, and reputable service in Mansfield or the wider Nottinghamshire area.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of all health and social care services in England. CQC registration means a clinic is continuously monitored to ensure it meets fundamental standards of quality and safety. Scan Baby is proud to be a fully CQC-registered clinic, giving you complete peace of mind. We strongly advise against using any scanning service that is not CQC-registered.
The accuracy of a gender scan performed from 15 weeks onwards is exceptionally high, at over 99%. However, sometimes a baby can be in a position that makes it difficult to get a clear view. If this happens during your appointment, we have a clear policy: we will invite you back for a complimentary rescan at a later date to ensure we can give you a confident result.
From the moment you arrive, we want you to feel welcome and excited. We’ll greet you and your guests at our comfortable clinic on Toothill Lane and guide you through the entire process. The scan itself is a wonderful 10-15 minute experience where our sonographer will use a 2D ultrasound to perform the wellbeing check and, when the time is right, determine the gender.
As a special treat, we’ll also give you a sneak peek of your baby’s features in 4D, adding an extra touch of magic to your visit.
To help us get the clearest possible images, we recommend drinking a pint of water about an hour before your scan. Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is also a good idea. Please arrive a few minutes early to get settled, and don’t forget to confirm how many guests you can bring to share the moment in our spacious Mansfield studio.
Planning a gender reveal party? We love being part of the secret! If you don’t want to find out the gender during the scan, just let our sonographer know. We can write it down and place it in a sealed envelope for you to open later, making the reveal a surprise for everyone—including you!
