If you're looking for a more accurate way to determine your baby's sex, there are medical methods available from your healthcare provider.
A mid-pregnancy ultrasound (sometimes called the gender-reveal scan) at around week 20 of your pregnancy can show your provider the telltale features of your growing and developing baby, used to determine their sex.
Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a simple blood test that looks at small fragments of a baby’s DNA found in the expectant mom’s bloodstream. It is a screening tool that can be done from week 10 of pregnancy and offers helpful information about your baby's health and development before they are born. It can accurately detect your baby's sex, so if you're having this test done and would prefer not to be told if you're having a girl or a boy, let your provider or technician know!
