Boy or Girl

How early can I tell if my baby is a boy or a girl?

The most common test for determining the baby’s sex is an ultrasound test. The reason for an ultrasound is not just to find out the baby’s sex but to check the general well-being of your fetus. And an ultrasound is a safe, reliable way to tell the sex of your baby. Generally doctors like to perform this test around 20 weeks to make sure the baby’s well-developed enough to get a good view. An ultrasound may be able to tell as early as 11 or 12 weeks.

Another way to tell is with genetic testing. These tests are performed earlier than a typical ultrasound– at 11 or 8 weeks depending on the test–and they can also determine the sex of your baby. These tests are not performed often however, as they are more invasive and can possibly pose some danger to your baby.
