Boy or Girl-How Soon We Know


Even though I have no problem either a lovely girl or a naughty boy, I choose the baby name since the first week.  Just in case we have twins.  But if you would like to know the right sex of the baby, when will you know or will you have to wait for 3 months.
                                                                                          
Although the baby's chromosomes already determine whether your baby is a boy or a girl, with an ultrasound or amniocentesis, you may be able to know a baby's sex before 3 months. In the genital period development, male and female genitals in the fetus appear to be identical before about eighth week of pregnancy. At around 12 weeks, genitals have begun to differentiate, but these differences may not be visible yet on an ultrasound.
