Baby Boy or Baby Girl?

Medically reviewed byDr Fred UshakovSpecialist in Fetal Medicine & Obstetric Ultrasound · 10 July 2026

Is it a boy or is it a girl? ♂️♀️???

Can you guess by looking at the above ultrasound image? The gender of the baby can be determined using ultrasound from about 13 weeks of gestation with a high certainty of about 95%. From 14 weeks, the gender can be determined with close to 100% certainty using ultrasound.

Another way the sex of the baby can be determined is through Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) from 10 weeks of gestation – however results typically take 5-7 days to come back from the lab.

At City Ultrasound, we can determine the gender of your baby from 13 weeks upon request. This is included organically in the cost of the scan, however the primary focus of our specialist would be to check the wellbeing and development of your baby. We don’t offer a quick ‘gender scan’ just to determine the sex of the baby

On our website, we have in-depth information about our process and types of scans, but if you do have any questions at all, please feel free to get in touch with us!
