Patient's question:
I am three months pregnant now. My mother-in-law is very biased towards sons. Could you please tell me at which week of pregnancy the gender can be determined through an ultrasound examination?Doctor's answer:
Around 18 weeks of pregnancy, you can determine the gender of the fetus through an ultrasound examination. Approximately four months into the pregnancy, you can also distinguish between a boy and a girl via ultrasound. However, it is not prohibited to determine the gender of the fetus due to medical reasons. If you want to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check the gender of the fetus, doctors generally will not tell you. Whether it is a boy or a girl, the health of the child is what matters most.
