No standard home pregnancy test reveals the gender of the baby. However, some prenatal tests can determine the sex of the fetus.
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)
One example is Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT). NIPT is a blood test performed on the pregnant person. By analyzing the fetal DNA present in the mother's blood, NIPT can detect chromosomal abnormalities and determine the sex of the baby. It's important to note, however, that this information is optional and you can choose whether or not to receive it. As stated in the provided reference: "With all this examining of chromosomes, NIPT can also tell you what sex your baby is. Make it clear to your provider whether or not you want this information revealed to you when you get your results."
It's crucial to discuss your preferences regarding receiving the gender information with your healthcare provider. They can explain the test in detail and help you make an informed decision.
