I Found Out My Baby’s Gender At Eight Weeks! (And You Can Too with Heartland Healthcare)
Heartland Women’s Healthcare and SneakPeek were featured on St. Louis Moms Blog.
How Does SneakPeek Work?
While every person has her own DNA in her bloodstream, a pregnant woman’s bloodstream also contains DNA from her unborn child. SneakPeek looks for male chromosomes in a small sample of mom’s blood. If male chromosomes are found, that means baby is a boy. If none are found, baby is a girl. SneakPeek is 99.1% accurate at 8 weeks into pregnancy.
What is the SneakPeek Process?
At SneakPeek Labs, a test process called non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is used to analyze cell-free fetal DNA. Starting with a small sample of blood from mom, plasma is separated from whole blood by centrifuge and extracted cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is analyzed for Y chromosomes, which are found only in males. The SneakPeek test is sensitive enough to find even a single Y chromosome, giving you confidence in your results.
What Is The Cost of The Early Gender DNA Test?
At Heartland Women’s Healthcare, the SneakPeek Clinical early gender DNA tests cost $149. This fee is not covered by insurance and is due before the test is performed.
When and How Will I Get My Results?
Test results will be sent via e-mail to the e-mail address listed when filling out the consent form. You will receive your test results within 24-48 hours, excluding Sundays and major holidays. Because the SneakPeek lab is based in California, test result e-mails are typically received after 6pm CST. For tests performed on a Friday, results will likely be received on Tuesday.
