In the past, many methods were used to find out the sex of the baby, methods that we would now listen to with a smile. Thanks to technology, the sex of the baby can now be determined with advanced ultrasounds.
Probably one of the most curious questions of expectant mothers throughout their pregnancy is the gender of their baby.
Whether or not to know the sex of the baby before birth is a purely personal decision. Nowadays, however, expectant mothers prefer to base everything on this information in all preparations for the baby.
before the 1970s, and in some places still today, mothers had no way of knowing the sex of their baby. But with the change of time and the advancement of technology, the sex of the baby is now easily known before birth. Moreover, it has become almost a rule to have this information.
You may have come across many fun ways to find out the sex of your baby before birth. Someone in your family may have already told you the sex of your baby based on the food you eat. An older and more experienced mother you have never met may have even stopped you on the road and guessed the sex of your baby.
Remember, the only person you can trust to tell you the sex of your baby is your doctor. Thanks to the ultrasound device, doctors can give information about the sex of the baby from the 16th week of pregnancy. However, the margin of error about the sex of the baby determined after the 24th week of pregnancy is lower.
Another important issue is that the parents have the same idea about the sex of the baby. If you know the sex of the baby but your partner does not, you will find it very difficult not to refer to the baby as your son or daughter in order not to spoil the surprise.
To know the sex of the baby or not to know the sex of the baby… Both choices have their advantages and the decision is entirely up to you and your partner. But remember, a healthy baby is the main priority for the whole family.
