A member asked:
Hi im 21 weeks and want to know the gender of my child, when is it the right time to go and check?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
21 weeks works, but: For the past 200,000 years (that's 10,000 generations of people), we were just fine not knowing the gender of an upcoming baby until birth. Then, we got "smarter" 50 years ago and started telling people a baby's gender before birth. The natural way is probably best, as there is no need to know the gender ahead of time, unless there's a genetic defect that happens with one gender but not the other.
