Patient's question:
I am 6 months pregnant. The day before yesterday, I had an ultrasound at a small clinic, and they said I was carrying a girl. Is it accurate to determine the gender with a black and white ultrasound done at the clinic?Doctor's answer:
Not too accurate. Generally, under high-resolution ultrasound, the image is clearer. If it's a small ultrasound, its resolution isn't very high, so its accuracy isn't very high. The manifestations of gender are not very obvious in pregnancy symptoms. The best situation is to observe under high-resolution ultrasound. It is recommended to go to a regular, large hospital for the examination. This is more accurate. Generally, it is possible to distinguish the gender of the fetus around the fourth month of pregnancy.
