170 views

Gender prediction is mostly a game of chance. Technologies like ultrasound scans can reveal the gender after 18-20 weeks of pregnancy. Genetics also play a role: Each conception has about a 50/50 chance for a boy or girl. Old wives' tales, such as the shape of the belly or morning sickness severity, lack scientific support. For the most accurate prediction, consult a healthcare provider.
