How can you tell if a baby is male or female?

The best opportunity to find out a baby's sex is when the doctor carries out an ultrasound scan at 20 weeks. The doctor will look at the baby's genitals during the scan to determine their sex. This is usually accurate but not always, as many things can obscure the ultrasound image.

Can you tell at 12 weeks if its a boy or girl?

The earliest time we can assess the baby's sex is at 12 weeks gestation/pregnancy: We can tell the sex of the baby at the 12 week scan by assessing the direction of the nub. This is something that can be identified on babies at this stage and if it points vertically then it is likely to be a boy.

What is a nub?

Nub theory revolves around something called the genital tubercle, which forms early in pregnancy on the lower abdomen of your baby. Eventually this tubercle, or “nub,” turns into a penis in male babies and a clitoris in female babies.

What are the chances of having a boy?
