By 18 weeks, an ultrasound technician should be able to identify the sex if the baby is in a position that allows the genitals to be seen. If not, you may be able to find out the sex if you have another ultrasound later. Some people find out their baby's sex through noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) . This is a blood test offered to women at high risk of having a child with a chromosomal problem. It can detect Down syndrome and a few other chromosomal conditions at 10 weeks of pregnancy or later. It also looks for pieces of the male sex chromosome in the expectant mother's blood to see if she's carrying a boy or a girl. Other people find out their baby's sex from a genetic test like CVS or amniocentesis.
Tests. 1  Get an ultra-sound. 2  Undergoing amniocentesis, which is sometimes done on pregnant women who are 35 years old or older, can reveal the gender. 3  Have the CVS or chorionic villus sampling test done, which is performed during the first trimester of pregnancy and can determine if there are problems with the baby's chromosomes. This test will reveal the baby's gender. Keep in mind that CVS or amniocentesis are not generally done simply to determine a baby's sex.
