Yes, there are certain methods to determine the gender of the fetus during the first trimester, but during the examination it must be in a certain position that facilitates gender identification. This usually means the position of lying on the back with the face turned upwards. In this case, doctors can determine the gender based on the so-called genital tubercle. Of course, these findings during the first ultrasound are still not 100 percent certain, so you don't need to immediately rush to buy baby equipment or clothes for the baby.\r
