How far into pregnancy can you tell the gender?

Question

We're expecting our first baby and are so excited! My mother-in-law is very curious about the baby's gender. When can we usually find out, like, which month or week does that test happen?

The parts are visible around 18-20 weeks, but you cannot legally find out the gender in India. I was focused entirely on my regular thyroid tests and monthly doctor follow-ups during my second trimester anyway. Keeping your hormone levels stable is much more crucial.

I totally get it, the curiosity must be so exciting for you! But please remember that under Indian law, gender determination is strictly illegal at any stage. Enjoy your pregnancy journey and focus on eating well.

Biologically it can be identified by the anomaly scan around the 5th month. However, in India, doctors cannot disclose the gender of the baby. We just made sure our baby's growth and weight parameters were perfect on every scan.

The details show up around week 20, but it is illegal to find out in India. I had sudden complications in my fifth month, so the anomaly scan was critical for checking the baby's heart and organs. Make sure you see your doctor for all scheduled scans.

Rajesh Mehta · Answer

It is clear on scans around the 20th week, but no clinic in India will tell you the gender as it is banned. Save your money for the important level-2 anomaly scan which is necessary to check the baby's health.
