when do you find out the gender of the baby
When can you find out the gender of the baby?
Answer:
The gender of the baby can typically be determined during an ultrasound scan around the 18th to 20th week of pregnancy. This is known as the mid-pregnancy ultrasound or anatomy scan. During this scan, the sonographer can often identify the baby’s sex if the baby is in a position that allows for it to be seen. It is important to note that the accuracy of determining the baby’s gender during an ultrasound can vary, and the position of the baby during the scan plays a crucial role in this determination. Additionally, some parents-to-be may opt for non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), which can also determine the baby’s gender as early as 10 weeks into the pregnancy by analyzing the baby’s DNA in the mother’s blood. This method is highly accurate but is usually done for medical reasons rather than solely for determining gender.
