Early Gender Detection Testing in Lafayette
Learn Your Baby’s Gender as Early as 7 Weeks
We offer Early Gender Detection Testing through Peekaboo! at our Lafayette location. This DNA testing option can identify your baby’s gender as early as 7 weeks into pregnancy, giving you more time for personal preparations, family announcements, or gender reveal planning.
A traditional ultrasound may reveal gender at approximately 18 to 21 weeks. Peekaboo! gives expectant parents a separate, earlier option without replacing an ultrasound or routine prenatal care.
Call (337) 240-9500 to ask about Peekaboo! testing or arrange your visit with our Lafayette team.

How Peekaboo! Differs From a Traditional Ultrasound
Peekaboo! is an early DNA-based option focused on identifying gender. A traditional ultrasound generally takes place later and serves a broader role in prenatal care. This service doesn’t replace an ultrasound appointment or other care recommended by your prenatal healthcare provider.
The primary differences are timing and purpose. Peekaboo! can identify gender earlier in pregnancy and is described as 99.5% accurate, while the traditional ultrasound timeframe for learning gender is approximately 18 to 21 weeks. Discuss questions about pregnancy care, ultrasounds, or other prenatal testing with your healthcare provider.
