Podcast with Dr Philippa Kaye: How reliable are various gender prediction tests?Īlternatively, you can book a private gender scan before your 20-week scan. Nub theory – how do you do it and how accurate is it?.There are also theories about how to predict your baby’s sex from your 12-week dating scan: It’s also important to remember that while your sonographer probably will share their opinion with you, this is not 100% certain. “Private providers may of course offer it, however.” “The sex of your baby is reasonably accurately determined by ultrasound from 12 weeks but most NHS departments will not offer an opinion until at least 16 weeks and more commonly not until the anomaly scan. “You are usually able to find out the sex of your baby during the anomaly scan, which happens around 20 weeks,” says Nigel Thompson, Professional Officer for ultrasound at the Society and College of Radiographers.
