There are some fun ways that can help to predict the gender of a pregnant woman’s baby without specific medical tests or waiting until the 20 week anatomy scan.
The following tests are based on popular belief and are not always accurate, which is why they have not been confirmed through scientific studies.
The best way to know the sex of a baby is to wait for an anatomy scan during the second trimester. You can also complete a prenatal screening blood test which can also reveal the baby’s gender.
