Gender Reveal Ultrasound Sydney

During an ultrasound scan, our trained sonographer uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of your baby inside the womb. By examining the genital area, the sonographer can determine the baby’s gender. This process is safe and non-invasive, ensuring a relaxed and comfortable experience. 

Discovering your baby’s gender offers a variety of key advantages, such as establishing an emotional connection early on and allowing them to properly focus on their pregnancy experience. Another benefit of gender reveal scans is providing the planning and preparation you’ll need within the 9 months, giving parents the chance to plan the nursery, choose a name, and buy gender-specific clothes and items. Last of all, it provides an opportunity to celebrate and share the joy with the company of family and friends through gender reveal parties. 

A typical gender reveal ultrasound scan takes about 15-30 minutes. The duration can vary depending on the baby’s position and cooperation during the scan. 

Here are a few ways you can prepare before your next appointment: 

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water to ensure a full bladder, which can help produce clearer images. 

• Clothing: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. You may be asked to expose your belly, so two-piece outfits are often a more convenient option. 

• Avoid: Try to avoid eating a large meal right before the scan to prevent discomfort. 

There are many creative ways to reveal your baby’s gender through various gender reveal products and ideas, such as: 

• Gender Reveal Party: Host a party with cakes that reveal the gender through coloured icing, a piñata filled with coloured confetti and other party supplies. 

• Balloon Release: Use mini balloons filled with pink or blue confetti. 

• Confetti Cannons: These party poppers release coloured confetti for a dramatic effect. At UBM Scans, we have available a range of confetti cannons to help make your gender reveal party one to remember. Get in touch with us if you’d like to purchase a confetti cannon.   

• Keepsake Items: Give family members customised items like onesies or mugs that reveal the gender. 

• Social Media: Share a special photo or video on social media to announce the gender. 

While our sonographers use advanced technology to determine your baby’s gender, there is always a small chance of error, especially if the baby is not in an optimal position. If there is any uncertainty, we may schedule a follow-up scan. 

Yes, we encourage you to share this special moment with loved ones. You can bring family members or friends to the scan to experience the joy of discovering your baby’s gender together. 

If you prefer to keep the gender a surprise for a later reveal, let our sonographer know. We can write the gender on a card and seal it in an envelope for you to open at a later time or give it to a trusted person who will help organise your gender reveal. 

Sometimes, babies can be in a position that makes it difficult to determine their gender. If this happens, we may ask you to move around or reschedule the scan for another time to get a clearer view.
