What is the SneakPeek® Early Gender DNA Test?

SneakPeek® is a non-invasive prenatal blood test that analyzes small fragments of fetal DNA (cell-free fetal DNA) circulating in the mother’s bloodstream. The laboratory looks for the presence of the Y chromosome to determine fetal sex:

• Y-chromosome detected → male fetus
• No Y-chromosome detected → female fetus

Why Families Choose Early Testing

Learning your baby's sex early can be an exciting, meaningful milestone. Patients often choose SneakPeek® to:

• Start bonding and choose a name earlier
• Begin nursery planning and shopping
• Include family in an earlier gender reveal

Accuracy, Timing & Safety

SneakPeek® reports accuracy over 99% when performed after 6 weeks gestational age and with proper sample collection. The test is completely safe — it requires only a maternal blood draw and poses no risk to the pregnancy.

In-Office vs. At-Home Kits

While at-home kits exist, we recommend in-office collection at Healthcare For Women to minimize contamination risk and ensure the fastest turnaround time. Our clinical team provides a calm, professional environment for phlebotomy and result counseling.

How to Schedule

You may schedule a SneakPeek® blood draw any time after 6 weeks gestational age. Not sure of your dates? We can confirm your gestational age during your visit.

Is SneakPeek® safe for my pregnancy?

Yes. It is a non-invasive blood test and does not involve any procedures that touch or affect your baby.

Will this test detect genetic conditions?

No. SneakPeek® is for fetal sex determination only. Routine prenatal screening and diagnostic testing should be discussed with your provider if you have concerns about genetic conditions.
