Kidney: One of a pair of organs in the abdomen. Kidneys remove waste from the blood (as urine), produce erythropoietin (a substance that stimulates red blood cell production), and play a role in blood pressure regulation. Source: National Institute of Health.
A: This is one of the most common questions I get from parents-to-be. If you're dying to know whether to stock up on pink or blue onesies, you'll likely have to wait until you're about 18 to 20 weeks along. We can usually determine the baby's sex during a routine ultrasound visit at this time, but not always. The position of the baby during the ultrasound is key, and if your baby's curled up or facing the wrong way, you may have to wait until your next appointment.
In these cases, if ultrasound or other procedures which can determine the babyâs gender are performed during the pregnancy, those results arenât shared with the parents-to-be â but sometimes just knowing that someone else knows their babyâs gender is enough to convince parents to find out for themselves! 3.79257.
