On how many weeks can i find out the gender of the baby on a ultrasound scan ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Baby must cooperate. The parts are defined by 12 wks but technicians are seldom able to find reliable landmarks until 18-20wks. Some may sooner with experience. However, the "turtle must come out from hiding" to make the distinguishing feature evident. I have seen some couples surprised at delivery when an ultrasound gender reveal was wrong.
