Early Gender DNA Test vs.3D Ultrasound – What’s the Difference?
Are you eager to find out your baby’s gender and wondering what your options are? At 3D BabyVision 3D Ultrasound in Oakville, we offer both the Early Gender DNA Test and traditional gender reveal ultrasounds—and each has its perks!
Whether you’re looking to learn early or want to experience a special ultrasound moment, we’ll walk you through the differences so you can choose what’s best for you.
What is the Early Gender DNA Test?
The Early Gender DNA Test, also known as a Early Reveal test is a non-invasive blood test that can reveal your baby’s gender as early as 7 weeks into pregnancy!
How it Works:
-
We take a small blood sample from the mother.
-
The sample is tested for fetal DNA, specifically looking for the presence of the Y chromosome.
-
If a Y chromosome is found, it’s a boy. If not, it’s a girl.
Benefits of Early Gender DNA Testing in Oakville:
-
Accurate results up to 99.9%
-
Know your baby’s gender weeks earlier than with ultrasound
-
Results typically available in just a few days
This option is perfect for moms-to-be who want to find out the gender as early as possible and are okay with a quick blood draw.
What is a Gender Reveal Ultrasound?
A gender reveal ultrasound is the classic way to find out your baby’s gender—and it's also one of the most memorable. At 3D BabyVision Oakville, we start offering gender ultrasounds as early as 16 weeks.
How it Works:
-
Our trained ultrasound technician performs a 2D or 3D ultrasound scan to visually identify the baby’s gender.
-
You’ll get to see your baby in real-time and may even catch a smile, wave, or yawn during your session!
Why Parents Love Gender Reveal Ultrasounds:
-
It’s a fun, bonding experience with your baby
-
You get printed and digital keepsake images
-
You can share the moment with a partner, friends, or family
Gender ultrasounds are a safe, exciting way to learn more about your little one—and a popular choice for parents planning a gender reveal party.
