is it possible to determine the sex of a baby at twelve weeks and how acccurate?

Answer 1

Some studies have reported that the sex can be determined as early as 11 weeks by ultrasound (u/s), but it depends on the quality of the image, the experience of the u/s technician, and the baby's cooperation. One study reported that sex determination at 11 weeks was 45% accurate, 75% accurate at 12 weeks, 90% accurate at 14 weeks, and 95% accurate at 16 weeks. At 20 weeks it is most reliable at 99%, but remember that it is never 100% until the baby is born (or you get genetic testing done with a chorionic villus sample)!

Answer 2

I don't know at 12 weeks but my sister-in law had an ultrasound done at 14 weeks to make sure there were no complication with this pregnancy and they were able to tell it was a boy which ended up to be true.

Answer 3

Usually ultrasound can determine the babies sex around four months along.

Answer 4

No. The sex of the baby is not visible, until the 16th week of pregnancy.

Answer 5

no, the earliest it can be seen is 16 weeks and even then most dr's wont look because of the chances of being wrong. you will find out closer to 20 weeks or later

Answer 6

even if they could see the genital area at twelve weeks it wouldnt be very accurate because at that point everything is still developing....www.babycenter.com...a great site for expecting mother to tell what is going on week by week
