The choice of finding out the sex of your baby before birth is largely based on things like prenatal bonding, selection of a name and preparation for a new baby. It may be easier to deal with a disappointment prior to the birth of your baby. Knowing ahead of time allows you to work through your disappointment during the pregnancy, rather than in the postpartum period.
By 18 to 20 weeks, you can find out the gender of your baby through and ultrasound. This is the easiest and best way to find out. But, your baby has to cooperate. He or she has to be in a position that allows the doctor to see the baby’s genitals. You should always be prepared for a baby of the opposite sex. Even the best doctors can’t usually guarantee whether it’s a girl or a boy.
Remember that even if you feel disappointment during pregnancy, it may turn out you’ll get the joy and happiness at birth of something you never knew you were waiting for!
