Yes, but it depends on several factors:

• How old the fetus is (you must be at least 14 full weeks, which is 14+0 weeks after the term that you have received during the nuchal translucency scan)

• How easy it is to scan the mother

At the moment, the public hospitals do not have common guidelines for gender determination. Most hospitals don’t offer to look after the gender through a scan between 18-22 weeks of pregnancy. Sometimes it is done in indication, for example in certain gender-related diseases such as haemophilia, which typically affects boys.
