Greeting card

 

Finding out your baby’s gender is, for many parents-to-be, one of the most anticipated and emotional moments of pregnancy. It makes the ожидание feel even more personal and allows you to plan the future more consciously.

By knowing your baby’s gender, you can:

 

• Start thinking about a name;
• Choose clothes and accessories for your baby;
• Design the nursery according to your wishes;
• Share your joy and excitement with your loved ones;
• Feel an even stronger bond with your baby.

At the same time, it is entirely natural to want to be surprised by your baby’s gender – in that case, we can provide it to you in a greeting card instead.

Why might you want a coloured greeting card in a sealed envelope?
 

If you do not wish to find out your baby’s gender immediately, or if you want to make that moment extra special, it can be written inside a greeting card placed in a sealed envelope.

There are two card options:

 

• Blue, with a baby boy image
• Pink, with a baby girl image

Such a card gives you the opportunity to:
 

• Open the envelope at a time that suits you best;
• Give it as a gift to the baby’s father or other family members;
• Use it to organise a gender reveal party;
• Keep it as a beautiful and symbolic keepsake.

Can the card be used for a gender reveal party?
 

Yes — it is actually an ideal way to do so. A greeting card inside a sealed envelope makes a perfect centrepiece for the most exciting moment of the celebration.

 

It can be used, for example:
 

• At a gathering with family and friends;
• As a surprise for the baby’s father or grandparents;
• In a video or photo shoot;
• As part of a special gift.
   

Gender reveal moments are often accompanied by:

 

• Coloured balloons;
• Confetti cannons;
• Smoke bombs;
• Themed cakes.

All of these options make the moment truly special and unforgettable.
 

When is it possible to find out the baby’s gender?
 

1. Panorama test – from 9 weeks of pregnancy, or KaryoPlus test – from 10 weeks of pregnancy

• Performed from a maternal blood sample;
• Determines the risk of chromosomal abnormalities and the baby’s gender with 99.9% accuracy;
• Results are available in approximately 2 weeks;
• If requested, the gender can be omitted from the written report and sent to you in a sealed envelope instead.

2. OSCAR test – at 12–13 weeks of pregnancy

• Gender determination depends on the baby’s position;
• At our centre, it can be determined in approximately 90% of cases.

3. Ultrasound examination – at 15–16 weeks of pregnancy

• Accuracy is around 98%.

4. Fetal anomaly screening – at 20–21 weeks of pregnancy

• Very high accuracy – up to 99.5%;
• If requested, the gender is written on a greeting card and provided in a sealed envelope.

The most reliable options are:

• Panorama test or KaryoPlus test
• Or the ultrasound examination at 20–21 weeks of pregnancy

If you would like to be surprised by your baby’s gender, please inform your doctor or midwife at the Fetal Ultrasound Centre in advance, so that we can proceed exactly according to your wishes.
