Patient's question:
I and my husband have been preparing for the arrival of this child for a long time. Finally, we are waiting for this child. I don't know if he is a boy or a girl, so I can give him a good name. I want to go to the hospital to check the gender, but the hospital won't tell. So I want to know other ways to find out the baby's gender.What kind of help do I need: When can the gender of the fetus be determined?
Doctor's answer:
4 months is enough to know, but it's not very accurate. The best time is 7 months, which is around 28 weeks. After 28 weeks, it becomes difficult to see because the baby has turned. According to current Chinese law, ultrasound is not allowed to determine the gender of the baby. In many places, doctors who are reported may have their medical licenses revoked. The state prohibits gender determination, but it can be done in hospitals when necessary. Nowadays, the gender of a fetus is usually determined through ultrasound, which can be done as early as 4.5 months. However, it's important to find a reputable place. If you have a connection, you might be able to get an earlier test. Another option is to take a blood sample from the mother to test for DNA. This method is currently only being tested in major hospitals. If you have a connection in a major hospital, you could try this. Another test involves collecting a few drops of blood from the mother's earlobe, making a blood smear, and using special staining techniques along with cytological methods to determine the gender of the fetus. This test is relatively safe and has an accuracy rate of over 95%. The requirement is that the pregnancy must be at least 45 days along.
