During pregnancy, an
ultrasound examination is performed to determine the sex of the baby. The sex
of a baby is genetically evident from the moment of pregnancy, but it has to
reach a certain size in order for this to be evident by eye or ultrasound. Even
if the sex of the baby is reached at the earliest of the third month by the
ultrasound, that is, around 13 weeks, this is not always possible, and it is
more clearly followed in 16-17 weeks. Gender is evaluated most clearly as we
approach the 20th week. Rarely, there may be errors in the determination of
gender, the gender may appear different in the ultrasound examination one month
later. This usually happens when the baby's penis is not monitored. In other
words, if the sex of the baby was determined as male, there would not be any
error because the penis was monitored. However, errors are more common in
babies called girls because the invisibility of the penis can create the
misconception that they are girls.
Apart from ultrasonography,
the sex of the baby is strictly monitored during pregnancy by amnocentesis
(taking amniotic water from the womb) or by chromosomal examinations such as
chorionic villus biopsy and cordocentesis. In these examinations, female (XX) or
male (XY) chromosomal structure is observed.
Apart from these, gender
determination tests were produced at home. Although these tests can determine
the correct gender by 80%, they are not recommended due to some drawbacks and
are prohibited in some countries.
