Finding out if your baby is a boy or a girl is just a bonus. Of the tests mentioned above, only amniocentesis and CVS can give you an absolute positive answer. After about 18 weeks, ultrasound can be extremely accurate in determining the sex. However, this depends on the skill of the technician reading the ultrasound, and on whether your baby cooperates. The choice is an entirely personal one.
Parents like to be able to shop for sex-specific clothing and accessories in advance.
Knowing the baby s sex can also be a great way for parents to do some early bonding. But not knowing what you re having can be a lot of fun. 2000 Tiny Love Ltd. All rights reserved.
