Expert Q&A
Question:
I will have my first ultrasound next week, and I will be 17 weeks and 5 days. The technician told me that she won't be able to tell the sex yet, that it is to early. Is that true?
Answer:
Sex determination by ultrasound is dependent on several factors, and gestation (how old your baby is ) is only one of these factors. How experienced the technician is with sex determination will also influence how early he/she can tell if it's a boy or a girl. It may also be hospital policy that the technician is not allowed to give out that information.
