At 20 weeks, your baby has now grown to look more like a human being and less of an alien. During this time, most expecting parents are now excited at one particular thought: “Is my baby a boy or a girl?”

Most pregnant mothers are scheduled at 20 weeks for an anomaly scan, which checks for any potential congenital anomalies. Your baby’s sex will also be revealed at this point! That is, if your baby participates.

Your baby may turn his or her back against you, or the limbs may block the genital area - making the guessing game even more thrilling! Don’t worry, your doctor will try to poke your baby to encourage movement, hopefully revealing the sex.
