How accurate is a 16 week gender ultrasound?

Dr. Hanford Yau answered

Specializes in Endocrinology

Quite accurate: By 12 weeks, the fetus is fully formed. All its organs, muscles, limbs and bones are in place, and the sex organs are well developed. So 16 week gender ultrasound is quite accurate. Congratulations and all the best
