Prenatal gender testing: How it works

For many expectant parents, discovering the sex of their baby is an exciting and significant milestone in their pregnancy journey.

Whether it’s to start preparing the nursery, picking out names, or simply to satisfy curiosity, knowing your baby’s sex can help you feel even more connected to your growing family.

Thanks to advances in DNA science, it’s now possible to find out as early as six weeks into pregnancy, with a simple blood sample taken from mom.

How does the test work?

Every human being has a pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. The Y chromosome is present in males, who have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.

For a prenatal gender test, mom’s blood sample is analyzed by our in-house geneticists to determine if the Y chromosome is present.

• If a Y chromosome is detected, the baby is a boy
• If a Y chromosome is not detected, the baby is a girl

Once you receive your test kit, you’ll need to arrange your blood sample collection via our recommended mobile phlebotomy service. Your test kit will contain full details on how to book your sample collection appointment.
