SneakPeek® Early Pregnancy Gender Testing in Bellingham, WA 

SneakPeek® Early Pregnancy Gender Testing is a non-invasive prenatal test available at Mt. Shuksan Family Medicine and Dermatology in Bellingham. It allows expectant parents to determine the gender of their baby as early as 6 weeks into pregnancy.

The test works by analyzing the fetal DNA present in the mother's blood to detect the presence or absence of male chromosomes, which indicate the baby’s gender.

Key Features of SneakPeek® Early Pregnancy Gender Testing:

1. Early Detection: The test can be conducted as early as 6 weeks into pregnancy, providing results much earlier than traditional ultrasound methods.
2. Non-Invasive: The test requires only a small blood sample from the mother, making it safe and simple to perform.
3. High Accuracy: SneakPeek® claims over 99% accuracy when the test is performed correctly at 6 weeks or later.
4. At-Home Option: The test can be done either at home using an at-home kit or at a participating clinic. The at-home kit includes detailed instructions for collecting the blood sample and sending it to the lab for analysis.
5. Fast Results: Results are typically available within a few days, depending on the method used (Standard or FastTrack options).

How It Works:

• Blood Sample Collection: The mother collects a small blood sample using a lancet (for the at-home test) or has it drawn at a clinic.
• Laboratory Analysis: The sample is sent to a lab where it is tested for the presence of Y chromosomes (indicating a male baby). If no Y chromosomes are detected, the baby is likely female.
• Result Delivery: Results are provided via email within 1-2 days after the lab receives the sample.

Who Can Use SneakPeek®?

The test is designed for women who are at least 6 weeks pregnant and are interested in learning their baby’s gender early in the pregnancy. It is suitable for single pregnancies, as well as twin or multiple pregnancies (though for multiples, the test can confirm if at least one baby is male).

Considerations:

While SneakPeek® provides an early option for gender determination, users need to follow the instructions carefully, especially for the at-home test, to avoid contamination that could affect the accuracy of the results.

In summary, SneakPeek® Early Pregnancy Gender Testing offers expectant parents a quick and non-invasive way to determine their baby's gender very early in the pregnancy, with a high level of accuracy.
