when can i find out the gender
Finding out your baby's sex. The second scan is carried out at around 18-21 weeks, and its main purpose is to check for any structural abnormalities (anomalies) in the baby. If you want to find out the sex of your baby, you can usually do so during this scan. If you want to know your baby's sex, you should ask the sonographer (the person who carries out the scan) at the start of the scan, so they know that they need to check. You should be aware that it's not possible for the sonographer to be 100% certain about your baby's sex.
