The main question for all parents is the question of who will be born to them - a boy or a girl. Starting from week 20, doctors determine the sex of the child by ultrasound. But no doctor can guarantee that the gender of a child will be immediately determined accurately. When pregnancy occurs, determining the sex of the child, ultrasound, CT scan and other procedures are simply inevitable. Although information about who you have (boy or girl), doctors do not always say. In some cities, this happens for a fee (since this procedure is not included in the general indications of ultrasound), and in some doctors they say for free, but in any case only when mother wants it.
In the modern world, the exact gender of a child can be found by 3D ultrasound, where you will not only see the gender, but also the fetus. You can see the whole face, eyes, pens, and you will also be given a photo of your baby, which you can then put into the album. This ultrasound, determining the sex of the child, photos and much more can be done from 25 weeks. The procedure is carried out only in private clinics. Currently, equipment capable of showing the baby 3D is not available in government clinics. But a huge number of mothers carry out this procedure, because everyone is interested in what their baby looks like.
Before 12 weeks, determining the sex of the child by ultrasound is not possible. Throughout the first trimester, the genital organs only form in the fetus, while they look almost the same. Also, determining the sex of the child by ultrasound depends on how he lies. It happens that the doctor can tell the sex much earlier than 20 weeks, but it happens that at 25 he can’t give an exact answer. According to many doctors, the gender of the child is difficult to determine in the third trimester.
It happens that a doctor may say a boy or girl is born, and at 12 weeks of gestation. True, the girls may have swelling of the labia, therefore, the doctor may incorrectly assess which sex of the child. All doctors advise you to wait until about 14-15 weeks and only after that conduct a study. But again, its success depends directly on the position of the fetus. There are times when boys pinch the genitals or if it is not yet fully formed. In this case, as well as in girls with swelling of the labia, it is difficult to identify the exact gender of the child.
It is difficult to determine the sex of the baby in the last stages, since the doctor can take the fingers or umbilical cord for the penis, and the labia may seem like testicles. In addition to everything, the fruit is very squeezed and uncomfortable, so it is simply impossible to see anything. That is why the exact determination of the sex of the child by ultrasound is significantly difficult in the later stages. But if the baby is well, and the doctor has got to you experienced, it is 90 per cent can say exactly who you will be born.
Expectant mothers also worth remembering that the US does not give an absolute guarantee of sex determination, there is always the possibility that the physician identify the wrong floor. You as a mom should not care who you have - a boy or a girl - after all, it's just your baby, and you will love him regardless of gender, weight, height, and so on.
