How far along in pregnancy until you find out the gender?

The typical way to find out the gender of a baby is through an ultrasound. The earliest you can usually get a reliable gender determination is around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy.

Here's why:

* Early ultrasound limitations: Earlier ultrasounds (before 18 weeks) may not show the baby's genitalia clearly enough for accurate gender determination.

* Accuracy: After 20 weeks, the baby's anatomy is more developed, and the accuracy of gender determination increases significantly.

* Exceptions: There are some cases where gender can be determined earlier, such as if the baby is in a favorable position and the genitalia are clearly visible on the ultrasound.

It's important to remember:

* Ultrasound results are not always 100% accurate, and there are rare cases of misdiagnosis.

* Ultimately, the decision of when to find out the gender is up to the parents. Some parents prefer to wait for a later ultrasound, while others opt for a gender reveal party.

If you're curious about gender determination, talk to your doctor or midwife about your options and what's best for you.
