The miracle of ultrasound tale:Many parents to-be are excited to know their baby's gender but at times ultrasound can't tell the baby's gender. Normally, the gender of the baby can be seen around eighteen weeks but it depends on the position of the baby. This is because sometimes the baby's leg is in the way of its genital making it impossible to see the baby's gender. Plus, ultrasound can be wrong especially when it is done early in the pregnancy. This means that ultrasound is not 100% dependable on knowing the baby's gender.
